Mark of markbowers.org has come up with one of the most interesting idea to be associated with a Gameboy Colour for quite a while. He decided to put a Gameboy Colour inside a calculator!

As you can see from the pictures (more in source) it took a lot of hard work, but the final product was well worth it. The Gameboy Colour within a calculator works great, though the screen brightness leaves something to be desired and Mark stated "So there you have it. Yeah, looking back there's half a doz...

What do you do when your video game provider brings out a clever new innovation? You make a hack that's twice as clever and fun of course!

Two gamers have gone and made what looks to be an excellent game. It's robot soccer played with two Lego Mindstorm vehicles! They used the balance boards to control these little machines around the table... maybe have a beer... enjoy the video!

A new mod is on the official Witcher site called John's Diary. Head on over to the Adventures Page linked in the article title and below in the source link to find the new mod there for all interested in giving it a try!

The guys from AcidMods have outdone themselves. Here you will find a step by step guide to making a rapidfire kit for your wiimote.

While this could easily be emulated and achieved via software- they have made a hardware mod that requires minor soldering, and a little technical know-how.

An amazing PSP mod by a guy who calls himself F00.

The backstory of this mod is pretty touching too. Turns out a man wanted a way to let his spouse continue to game, even though she has limited use of one of her hands (for an unknown reason), and has trouble with the PSP controls, but can navigate an SNES controller fine.


Make sure to check out the video in the link (or below), and the slideshow after the jump. For any of you who are so inclined, he does outline some of the basics as ...

"Naturally, the band's noise-assault interpretation of the chimes was out there to begin with, but what really blew our mind was frontman Wayne Coyne's tricked-out double-neck guitar, which, as a jab at rhythm-game obsessed kids, featured a twist on the Guitar Hero plastic axe. See for yourself below and watch for the NBC promos to start airing around Thanksgiving."

You saw the Amazing MGS Custom PS3, but that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to PS3 mods.

Here is a list (with lots of images) of some of the best from around the net, as compiled by PS3 Maven.

Ranging from game inspired mods, to ridiculous extraneous hardware modifications (think water cooling and external HDDs), prepare to be impressed.

The folks over at ExtremeTech go in depth on swapping out your old PS3 hard drive for a faster, albeit more expensive, X-25 Solid State SATA drive.

You would think the $600 SSD would outpreform the original right?
Wrong.

When it comes to installing games, the difference in performance was almost negligable (see first chart), though when downloading and installing games from the PSN - there was a 40% decrease in time.

Game start times did decrease with the SSD, but not enough to tru...

""Still waiting for Microsoft to officially admit the development of a slim Xbox 360 console? Just to make things clear: are you still wondering if Xbox Slim is myth or reality? Well, wonder no more, since the proof it’s here: it exists, it’s alive but it’s a bit… different.""

Ben Heck brings us a one handed controller for the PS2, PS3, and PC - with a 360 version on the way. It might be a little unwieldly at first- but it is safe to assume that this controller is pretty bad ass.

Even better- Ben is going to offer up guides on how to hack and mod his controller mod in the upcoming few weeks - stay tuned for that!

Just when you thought Ben Heck couldn't go any further after he created the Xbox 360 Laptop, he has outdone himself again.

Lets take a 17" screen, an Xbox 360, and throw it all into a tough, durable, Pelican case.

A laptop fit for Jack Bauer himself. Bravo Ben.

The Wii Backup Loader, a mod that allows you to play your backed up copies of Wii games, has been deserted by Waninknkno - the maker of the program - because it was leaked to the public a couple days ago.

Hopefully, someone else can take on the task and complete it.

'Bacteria', a British modder, has recently turned several "cheap plug 'n play games" into a his own, GBA-styled creation called the "Mini-Platform Plug'n'Play Console System". He has made it so that you can actually play the GBA and all of its game on it!

Check it out here:

One talented modder has managed to place an NES into a toaster. Yes- a toaster.

Complete with red LEDs to simulate the heating of a bread like it is supposed to be used for, and a functioning pull down lever that works as a power-switch / eject button all in one.

Elaborate, crazy, and genius - all at once.

I will have to get accustomed to the fact that I eventually will start blowing on my toast to get it to taste right after repeated use of this.

Finally a use for that old Gamecube that hasn't seen the light of day since you bought a Wii. While details about this mod are limited, a picture is worth a thousand words right?
