Mod chips legal? Hell no.

 

The USB port can be used for Singstar / Rock Band mics. Also it can be used for a keyboard if you're using the linux dev kit, or a game that supports mouse and keyboard.

Play fighting games?; PSN = SunAndSteel
BlazBlue, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Soul Calibur IV, King Of Fighters XII ( If it could handle online! )

The USB ports ae also used for the Socom headsets and if you have a wireless controller, sometimes they use a USB dongle, they are used also for linux, with the mouse and keyboard.

There are heaps of peripherals that use it - Cheat carts, Buzzers, Singstar mics, Guitar Hero instruments, EyeToy, the rare or unreleased USB tool for Music 3000. It of course has been used for various other things which I am not permitted to talk about here.

 

The FireWire was used also by Music 3000 if you got one of their obscure extra devices.


Games I own: Afrika, Assassin's Creed, Eye, of Judgement, FIFA '08, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: Spec. III, Heavenly Sword, MotorStorm, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty, SEGA Mega Drive Collection, Shaun White Snowboarding, Silent Hill: Homecoming, SOCOM: Confrontation, Street Fighter IV, WipeOut HD....and more!
