Most of the PSP owners don't know about modding. it is divided by two categories *softmod = things related to the software section.. such as custom themes, custom firmware, homebrews and etc.
*hardmod= things related to modifying the physical looks and performance of you PSP. such as adding Led's, speakers, creating an internal memory, internal camera, internal mic in psp2000 and many more.
this thread will be organize by several people that have a decent knowledge in their field of expertise hardmod= wetfusion, penmarker, cheewin88. softmod= playboy21
*will add new members when the thread grows
HARD MODDING There are many types of hard modding in psp. so let me start with the basic,
***please say a simple 'thanks' if any of the info in this thread helped you***
SOUND REACTIVE LED'S
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
HOW TO MAKE IT most tutorial are in acidmods.com forums. but it will not be open for public viewing, you have to register 1st before you can view all the tutorial. and i'll refer to lordnico's sound reactive led tutorial. *ALL PICTURES ARE PROPERTIES OF ACIDMODS.COM*
1ST STEP *make a sound cip here are the diagram from acidmods.com *mono sound mod
*stereo sound mod
*pic how to solder it +i am using 181K and 10K to get the 191K
2ND STEP learn how to open your psp faceplate well, there are many video on youtube showing how to open your psp faceplate. +please take note, that this step seems easy... but honestly for me this is the most hardest step of all.. you don't want to scrath your faceplate, you don't want to crack your LCD's, n most of the short circuit stuff happen here. so please pay full attention on what you are doing. even jassica alba is trying to flirt with you, ignore her!..
3RD STEP soldering the MOD Chip to psp motherboard.(pic drawn by penmarker) *thanks for the pic penmarker.
4TH STEP drill a hole in L and R button. put in the led's in the hole that you have drill.. reassemble the stuff... and enjoy your led mod.

SPRAYING TRIMS AND SILVER RING
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
+Well, you have to know to take apart your psp, if you've done that. you can easily pull out the trims +as for the silver ring, i've found a video on youtube that show how to take apart it without damaging the ring.
*now the fun part begins, spraying the stuff. +sand the stuff to get a clear finish. it also give the paint more grip. +spray on a sunny and hot day. +put the can in warm water for 5 - 10 mins, warmer spray gives a more even finish. +spray about 6-8 inches away from the stuff, in a steady sweeping motion to left and right. +remember to start and end the spray off the edge of the piece, that way you won't have build-up on the edges.Go slow and don't over-spray, and you shouldn't have any problems. +gloss it to make it more shiny good luck

************************************************ ok currently i can do led's, internal 16GB mod, and speaker. i accept any modding request with a small charge. but that have to deal outside this thread. so PM me. reasons= getting bored don't have any psp to mod. i do this as a hobby, profits arent my main interest, want to meet more friends. feel free to ask any question about modding
*also on side note. this thread is also linked to zal thread, post your psp pic there. don't care if its unmodified psp, aka S.T.P (stock tapi power) .. or fully modified... just send the pic, share your moment or hobby with us.. if you got a pic of your psp gathering is even better.* so here is the link http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/456551
