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?

1998 iMac reincarnated as Dreamcast system
A modder by the name of Logicdustbin was evidently displeased with the current game offerings for Macand decided to take matters into his own hands.
Logicdustbin took an old, circa 1998 iMac, gutted it, stuck a Dreamcast in it, and rewired the computers power button to power the console. After installing a modern day LCD, along with relocating the controller ports, he was finished.
What you see above is a video showcasing his creation, a peice of hardware he calls iCast.

Mirrors Edge in third-person
Have you ever wondered what Mirrors Edge would look like had it been developed with a third-person view in mind? Well then you probably shouldn’t watch the above video.
But, if you’ve wondered what the current Mirrors Edge would look like with a third-person view, then watch on.
You too can experience all of the game’s glory in third-person using the below method:
“Go to ‘Documents\EA Games\Mirror’s Edge\TdGame\Config\’ Open the file “TDInput” with notepad. Add this line to the “bindings” list: Bindings=(Name=”F4¿,Command=”FreeFlightC amera”,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=Fal se) Press F4 a few times. First you get the free cam (noclip) and later the third person cam.”
As you can see upon utilizing this method Faith goes from a lean mean parkour machine to a stiff-figure who looks like shes performing the shimmy when she runs so this is probably one of those use for 5-minutes for a kick then toss it-deals.
Atari 2600 Joystick Is Undercover Xbox 360
I for one prefer Xbox 360 and its controller just as it currently is. I will never try to mod an Atari 2600 Joystick lets say and turn it into an Xbox 360 controller. Others however will tell you differently. One Ben Heck has hacked his Atari 2600 controller and he transformed it into an Xbox 360 controller and baptized it the 3600 Controller.
We can only hope playing games with it is at least as fun as it was to make the device. And now that I think about it, I might try to transform an Xbox controller just to see if it can be done. If that ever happen I’ll let you all know. In the mean time you can always enjoy Ben’s piece of work.

Entitled the XIM 2, all it basically is, is a modified Xbox 360 controller that allows you to plug in a mouse and keybord. Now common Microsoft (or third parties), you don’t want some sketchy hacker extorting gamers with a peice of hardware you could sell for $30, do you?
Still interested? Head here to pre-order the above monstrosity.
Crysis Warhead SDK in the Works
Crysis wasn’t exactly known for its modding prowess, but Crytek hopes Crysis Warhead will be, as the studio announced that the tools needed to make modifications or new levels for the game will be released soon.
"As most of you will already be aware we have not included our Sandbox Editor or MOD SDK with the disc for Crysis Warhead or Crysis Wars," reads a post from a Crytek community manager.
He writers further, stating that the studio focused on delivering the gameplay experience and to get both single and multiplayer modes perfect. However, they are now working on the editor and SDK solution for the recently-released semi-sequel, adding that it will be released “as soon as it is complete and available.”
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.
