Dualshock Forced Upon PSP (http://kotaku.com/gaming/modding/dualshock-forced-upon-psp-242837.php)
http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2007/03/pspdualshock.jpgNot pretty, but the possibilities are interesting. Inspired by the genius of Ben Heck, [F00 f00] at acidmods has grafted a dualshock onto his PSP. As it stands, it gives you more comfortable controls for your PSP (at the cost of, you know...portability). But in the future... this sucker is screaming for "homebrew". Like PS2 games. Rumble, dual-analogues, the works.
Of course, then it's not really portable. And you're playing a PS2 (or any comparable system) game on a small screen when you've probably already got a PS2 hooked up to your TV. So it's stupid in a practical sense. But this kind of modding is never about what's practical. It's about seeing something like this and tipping your hat to the work involved, stupid or not.
