Street Fighter IV PC mod allows for charcter move-set swaps
Have you ever wondered what it would look like Balrog utilized his legs instead of just his fits in Capcom’s Street Fighter IV? Well look no further as it seems that a PC modder has discovered a way to completely swap characters move-sets with one another allowing Balrog to utilize Chun-li’s moves, Rufus to utilize El Fuertes and more.
Sure, there’s probably no practical use for this mod but it’s still fun to watch Balrog dance around like a fairy, don’t you think?

Hack enables Bionic Commando multiplayer
If you’ve found yourself ready to throw your controller at the screen due to time limit enforced on the demo of Bionic Commando, you’re in luck.
Destructoid recently got their hands on a work around that lets you create a private match, play with friends, and change the time limit. Below is how you go about doing it:
- Go to the main screen and hit start. Stay in that screen.
- Get a friend to send you a game invite, any game will do
- Accept that invite, and when it asks you to exit your game, say NO
- You can now select private matches and invite friends
We haven’t tried this work around yet but what harm can it do? It is only a demo.
However, it is noted that selecting Game Mode or Frag Limit will crash the demo, be warned.
Microsoft reseting gamerscore for more cheaters
It was recently reported on Major Nelson’s blog that Microsoft has found and delt with a new batch of cheaters. Their offense? Using an exploit within Gears of War 2 to artificially boost their Gamerscores. Their sentence? A Gamerscore of 0.
This isn’t the first time Microsoft has had to step in to thwart cheaters in their attempt at a high Gamerscore. If you’ve been with us since March of last year, you’ll recognize a similar case.
Major Nelson also assures us that if you use ethical methods of obtaining your achievements, as in no cheating or glitching, you have nothing to worry about; your Gamerscore will not get reset accidentally.

Well, he used his artistic skills to hand mold epoxy putty into the various forms you see above. After that he covered his work in a layer of black paint and was done.
Any bets on how long it takes for this to appear on eBay?

Hackers on Xbox Live turning into a problem
Ever since Halo 2 on Xbox Live for the original Xbox, there have been those users unhappy with their ranking who feel the need to manipulate the network to their advantage.
Well, the problem hasn’t stop and it has infact escalated. Apparently, creators of such methods are selling programs, and even offering services, that kick your opponent off of Xbox Live. How is it done?
Well, the cheater routes their Xbox connection through their computer, obtains your IP address, floods it with packets, and kicks you off. Sounds like fun? It’s not, I’ve encountered one too many of these guys on Halo 3.
Microsoft has issued the following statement on the subject:
We are investigating reports involving the use of malicious software tools that an attacker could use to try and disrupt an Xbox LIVE player’s internet connection.
This problem is not related to the Xbox Live service, but to the player’s internet connection. The attacker could also attempt [to] disrupt other internet activities, such as streaming video or web browsing, using the same tools.”

Modders Hack 360 Chatpad to Work with PSP
We all remember when the PSP keyboard seen above was first talked about right? Well, what the heck happened to it? It seems like Sony just forgot about it, and then when a third party goes to release their own keyboard, that gets canceled too.
Well modders from the AcidMods community decided to take the matters into their own hands using nothing more than an Xbox 360 Chatpad, and a hacked up PSP remote wire. The result? A fully functioning PSP keyboard, something that should have hit the market ages ago.
Peep the YouTube vid, showing the mods functionality, after the break.
