if you have a mod-chip you should really read this

[jeex]

with all of the new protections coming out for games.. and patches not being instaltly available, it sorta sucks (especially the new 989 protection).. cos the games detect your mod-chip & you cant play the games.. and who really wants to buy a new mod-chip every few months? or get one of those expensive assed plug-mods that you still have to do the swap trick with? i've found a pretty cool solution around this. i hooked up a continuos tago switch to my mod-chip. i attatched it to the c721 wire (9001 model). like, i cut the wire going between the mod-chip & the solder point on the psx m/b, extended both cut ends of the wire so they would reach the outside of the playstation, then i hooked it up to the tago switch. and i glued the tago switch to the playstation. now i can turn the chip on and off like a light switch.. basically, i just have it on so the mod chip can tell the psx its an original game & that its the right country code, and whatever else. after that, i switch it off. and the game plays on like it should & doesnt detect i have a mod-chip, cos its not fully installed... its a breeze. you can get the tago switch & wire from radio shack. the tools you need are a phillips head screw driver, some wire cutters (or scissors), a little bit of glue.. its pretty much all self explanitory.. by the way, i'm not responsible if you #### up your playstation, mod-chip, parts or accessories, or yourself. this is pretty much a brainless procedure, you should be able to figure it out.
