That is really cool! Hooray for clear cases and LED modding! I just finished adding some blue LEDs to my PSP with a clear case today.

Cheers

Yeah, I love clear cases. If I had my way, I'd have one on every console I own

I'm sure your PSP looks awesome, I'd like to do something with mine too, but I'm too afraid I'd damage it. I could handle a clear faceplate, but LEDs are probably beyond me

Quick update, sadly no more LEDs, but I did manage to softmod my GC today. I used the PSO/BBA method, and used Titanik's PSUL loader to stream the bios DOL file to the GC. I tried both GCOM 2.4 and GCOS 1.5, and both worked perfectly. Using both bioses (biosi?) I managed to boot a backup copy of Ikaruga. I also managed to boot a multidisk game containing images of Ikaruga and LoZ: Wind Waker. I was especially pleased because I burnt the images on (what I assumed was) very poor media, which I got from Poundland. After reading stories of DREs and compatibility problems, I was pleasantly surprised to get the burned disks to work perfectly. The only error I got was one on Wind Waker, and that was due to a bad burn. I did tweak the POT to about 220, so that probably helped. This softmod did however convince me to buy a modchip, as it's just not practical to have my laptop constantly hooked up to the GC. It also takes a long time to load PSO, stream the files, swap disks etc. Just a few pics, to illustrate the process working.

1. Awesome!
2. I'm not sure if it is totally legal to post this here.
3. I believe it's bios' .

If it's illegal, then I apologize, and I'll remove it. But considering I owned a ligitamate copy of Ikaruga which I made the back up from, then I think that's legal right? Good thing I did too, because I've lost the original

Mods, if this shouldn't be here, then by all means delete it.

Thought I recognised that background, I posted it on the forum for a guy who was painting his Wii.

Yeah, I love that picture

It's very PS3-fanboy baiting

@gamemasterAS

I'm not sure yet, it's between the Viper GC Extreme and the Qoob Pro. I've found the Viper for Â£20, and the Qoob for Â£25, which is pretty cheap for both. Anyone had experience of either, and could recommend one or the other? I might be swaying towards the Viper, as it's got bi-directional USB streaming, but I'm still not sure.
