Do they make modchips for the PSone? Just wonderin'.

 Dyne Nov 26, 2003
yes. you can also use the $20 swap disc that most EB's/Gamestops carry. the chips for the smaller PSOne are a real pain in the ass to install.

They are not a pain in the ass.... 6 wires is cake.

It is nothing compared to a ps2 mod install.

The points are not as big as the psx original models, but the PSOne points are still big.

I think they are pretty cheap.

It's cheaper that getting a swap disc, I'm almost positive.

I wanna say like $7 or something

Place seems reliable. But $19 for a psone mod just aint workin out for me. Thats how much i got my psone for in the firstplace, new!

 Jaded God Nov 27, 2003
Shitface, check out http://www.psxtune.com/...

The guy there is very very reliable and I have ordered from them many times.

Great customer support and fast e-mails/communication.\\

It is about 16 dollars for the absolute 6 wire stealth mod for PSOne, it is well worth it! It comes prewired on the chip and has heat shrink tubing over the modchip to protect it. Also comes with solder and full color diagrams.

yeah jaded, when i said pain in the ass i meant because of the smaller points. and yeah ps2's are scary. i put my messiah 2 in myself......i dont want to talk about that :lol:

and racket, the disc i was referring to was actually sold as a territory swap disc but also works to boot back-ups. thats why they sold them.

Isnt that the point of having the mod chip, to burn them? I'm not gonna talk about the actual act itself I'm just saying he might want to back his crap up so as not to ruin the precious gems like the few copies of thrill kill released.... AND I OWN 2 BITCHES... sorry

 King M Dec 9, 2003
full retail? i thought it never made it out. can you show some pics/scans of the box and cd and stuff? where did you get your copies?

Region protection and copy protection are part of the same mechanism on PSX. Someone released some proof-of-concept import only modchip code that patches the SCEX stream in transit, but I doubt that was ever updated with the newer features.

 Scared0o0Rabbit Dec 10, 2003
I've seen region only mod chips for playstation.

Edit: In fact there's a good story about that on The Gord's Website...
