Where to buy a Playstation 1 modchip? - Page 2

Kitty · 25 November 2009, 17:39

Awesome thanks DoogUK for my PSX 1 fix

(thankyou alexh for your offer btw

)

Edit So on the 7502 install which point does the no.5 go?

alexh · 25 November 2009, 17:52

You sure you do not need the extra wires for stealth mode?

I've seen loads of 3 & 4 wire "classic" solder diagrams but I thought they were not using the full capabilities of the mod-chip and so did not enable some titles i.e. Dino Crisis, Final Fantasy VIII, Pocket MuuMuu and MANY more import titles.

Correct Alex...it's 7 wires on this chip for stealth mode, but it's only a handful of games that use the modchip detection as this was only added in the last days of psx game develpment.

At the point marked number 5...just under bottom left of the big chip in the center of the diagram.

Dino Crisis is an old game I would have thought that wouldnt need stealth?
Have you got the 7 wire install picture for 7502 DoogUK just in case I decide to be brave

DoogUK · 25 November 2009, 18:13

For the handful of games that use it...you can just patch the iso, i had to patch a lot of iso's to change from ntsc to pal as well.

Bringing back memories this thread is..it's been years since i did PSX stuff.

Dino crisis 2 did i believe.

Kitty · 25 November 2009, 18:14

yeah I heard about patching iso's didnt know the reason why though, are there still any good live websites for patching information?

Would this be the 7 wire install or is there different ways on the 7502?

DoogUK · 25 November 2009, 18:21

I've never used the stealth mod personaly...never needed it.

WWW.megagames.com

realy good info

DoogUK · 25 November 2009, 18:23

Seems they removed all their PSX/PS2 info...it used to be excellent that site.

Kitty · 25 November 2009, 18:28

That sites perfect!
I had a look at Dinos Crisis, seems that Dino Crisis 1 is the one that needs a protection fix and Dino Crisis 2 dosn't! bit weird seeing as its older!
Theres a lot of ntsc/pal fixes for Dino Crisis 2 though.
Is it PPF-O-Matic I need to patch iso's?

If you're gonna bother doing 4-solders you may as well do 7 no? I recommend practising several times on bits of scrap.

Kitty · 25 November 2009, 18:44

Well I don't mind trying the 7 wire install when DoogUK's chip arrives but I need the correct picture for 7502, I'm not sure I got the right one above.

Ok I won the 7502, ended up paying £8.50 due to 2 other bidders, still not a bad price though ..

I also bought this on ebay for 99p

and some blue Kynar Wire for £1.00

alexh · 25 November 2009, 20:45

If you're curious I've got a prototype PS somewhere... I could try and dig it out. Looks very similar but loads more ports on the back, slightly different logo, lots of wires sticking out for the CD-Emulator.

The first company I worked for in 1996 designed the GTE(?) the PS1 gfx chip. They had loads of junked PS1's lying around.
