PSP UMD door Mod: See your PSP's insides

Sometimes, it's the simple things that rock. The Swiss-made Sig-550 assault rifle for example swapped out standard issue tin rifle mags for a clear-plastic set, which not only made the gun lighter and more reliable (plastic doesn't dent like tin, hence less jams), but also allowed the trooper using it to just take a glance at the mag to see how much ammo he had left without having to rack the bolt and yank out the mag, as with what Solid had to do in his trailer (You know you want one, Snake).

As far-fetched as it sounds, we were thinking that when we picked up this short video clip cannae45 posted over at youtube. Nothing fancy here - he just remade his PSP UMD door with a viewing port, which allowed the user to get an eyeful of the UMD's metal cradle, and the title of whatever game he pops into the console. Sure, it ain't as pimpin' as a light-up door, or even a PSP port of the PS2 analog stick, but like we said, there's an elegance to subtle but practical mods like these we love. Enjoy the vid.

Cool I guess. Hopefully the laser doesn't shine through (I know I've seen red while closing the disc door before.) This should come with a disclaimer so the n00bs don't go blind.

Thats a pretty good cut and it looks like there's no sign of modding, but cuz I know I'm gonna ***** my psp up with 95% chance, I try that later ;)

Anyone have an idea what type of plastic? It must be pretty thin.

This is quite litterally the ugliest mod I have seen yet, why would anybody want to make their PSP look as ugly as that.

To make it unique perhaps?

# its a foreign language forum site.xche78x 2006-11-19 21:27
oh the things you would have to do just to get a preview of a nice emulator on its early development stages. judging by the video i think its running at 5-12 fps, yeah not yet playable, so we have to wait! the bad thing was if you want to download and preview it, you have to learn such language.

didn't the author know thats its not just their own kind of people thats interested in such a nice software? why didn't they consider a worldwide release? why restrict download for only those who can read their language? access refuse

They shine through and make a nice circle around the window

This is kind of a cool mod, though if you kept the UMD door mechanism covered and just left a small window that shows the disc and none of the metal it would be a much more cool mod.
