Why not wait a while? Why not wait forever?

Sorry for the bump folks, does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a modchip for a PAL PSOne, and a modchip for the old grey series of Playstations?

Does a universal modchip exist which works on ALL Playstations?

If you cant find one to buy, the HEX code is still available for download from alot of websites. You just need to buy the right PIC chip and a writer. The last releases supported all PSX version.

Well, I have a serial JDM programmer, some PIC 12c508A OTP chips and some hex code for the Multimode 3 and Onechip (from eurasia.nu).

But can I get either of them to work? No!
I'm fairly certain I've figured out how to program them correctly now (using ICProg), but the PSOne I'm using won't boot any discs with the chip installed. Works as normal with the chip removed.

Anybody have any advice?

For anyone still looking to buy:

Seems to still have stock. I bought the "Breaker Pro" disk, which works well enough for me..

Wont work on a PAL PSOne will it?

Before I bought my programmer I ordered a couple of chips from http://www.eurasia.nu/shop/default.php - cheap and reasonable delivery considering it's from Thailand (took about a week).

They have PAL chips, too.

I've gotta ask why would you bother.. You can get a PS2 for $20 these days.

A standard PS2 won't play imports.

Thats not entirely true. If you've got a HDD, a modchip isn't needed to play backups/imports from it.

Mate, we're talking about PS1 modchips here.
You can't play PS1 games using HDLoader unless something has changed very recently.

Doog: Are you able to supply any PS2 modchips at all?

cpiac64 · 20 May 2010, 13:58

for ps2 use freemcb, function on any ps2 (not 9000x) in normal memory card

for ps1 if find chip pre-prommed is best why the pic is write one (no rewrite)
