Ben Heck Shows of Access controller

Ben Heckendorn has emerged from his twisted workshop with a new toy - the one-handed Access controller, featuring a modular design that allows you customize the placement of the buttons, thumb sticks and d-pad. Ben says that the controller is going to be mass produced by eDimensional, first for the PS2/3 and eventually for the Xbox 360.

Make a Pandora’s Battery without a hacked PSP

As if the risk of bricking your PSP wasn’t enough, now you can potentially blow your hand off in the quest to run homebrew on your PSP. A member of legendary console modder Ben Heckendorn’s forum has posted instructions for turning a standard Sony PSP battery into a Pandora’s Battery with a soldering iron, instead of another already homebrew-enabled PSP.

We’re not joking about the blowing your hand off thing either - please take note of the warnings and do not attempt this modification if you aren’t experienced with a soldering iron.
