This mod is fairly simple to do but it will be lengthy. Setting up the controller to accept pre programmed chips is not hard but there are many components to solder and lots of wires. Luckily Microsoft has given us plenty of space to work with.. Please if you do this mod be considerate and do not use this controller for online matches as it will give you a huge advantage with “Insta Kills”. AcidMods in no way condones cheating or unfair advantages with that being said lets proceed to part one of this lengthy mod.

We never should have assumed Skype was coming to firmware 4.0. After all, Skype is just Skype. Clearly Sony has bigger plans for the next level of PSP firmware. Or do they? Tonight we’ll analyze what Sony has on their plate, what we’d like to add to the menu, and what the finished product should look like. There’s plenty of rumors, speculation, and fabrications going around; it’s our job to sort them out, and we’re going to do just that.

To start off, there’s two big rumors going around. The first one involves a lot of goodies, but may not be entirely realistic. While the well-balanced list does look appealing, it’s hard to believe Sony would dump all of these features between 3.90 and 4.00. In fact, this long list (if true) would likely skip 4.00 altogether, and bring a 5.00 update.

Hey all, here is L0rdNic0’s PSP Slim with Dual Nubs.  Nico states,  “The wiring to the header pins is a little hard, but the over all installation is cake. The RazorX adds smooth operation since there are no bubbles of solder or wires to interfere with the spring. We here at AcidMods will be working on a no hassle way of installing the RazorX in the Slim that will include a relocation of the power switch to the Start button using a digital switch as posted in one of my other videos. Keep an eye out. NOTE: This install is 100% fully functioning without any issues.”

here is a video of it in action..

The Razor is Finaly ready for sale. As you may notice it is not the same as you are used to seeing we redesigned the Razor 2 to be easier to install. You can assemble all peices prior to soldering making it easier get the spring in place. You can get them here  www.coolmods.co.uk

L0rdnic0 dropped by today to show us a new mod that can be installed in just about any console. He says that Cyberpyrot and him self have lots of new mods coming your way so stay tuned! Let’s see what l0rdnic0 had to say.

Here is an Electronic switch that I have installed in a PSP Slim. This can be installed in any console and be programmed to turn on and off as many mods as you have. The nice thing about this is that it is set to any button you wish and does not interfere with that buttons original functions. To use the button all you need to do is hold it down for .5 of one second.
