PS3 Rapid Fire Tutorial

If you are interested in adding features to your PS3, and you enjoy working with the insides of electronics, you can add mod chips to the PS3 console or even the controller. One controller modification is the rapid-fire mod. Adding this mod chip to the circuit board of the PS3 controller allows you to fire continuously with the push of a single button during game play. This mod is useful for battle games where your character possesses firearms.
