internal - external chip ?

[mike747]

Hello everybody,

For my PS1 I want to put a chip to play "back up" games. I hear about external chip. Are there as good as internal ? ( I m not very sure I can place the internal).

Does somebody know where I can buy one in belgium ?


Thanks for your reply

I believe your talking about something like the GameHunter on this page http://www.videogamecompany.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Consoles___Replacement_Parts_65.h tml (There are many different ones, that was just the first I saw). Works fine for me, tho you need an old model PlayStation (not the small PSOne in other words), and it has to have an I/O port on the back (which means no 9000 series). The only flaw is you gotta insert an original disc (any disc, even a demo) forst, wait for it to stop (bout 5 seconds), then insert your backup... nice if you don't want to open up your PlayStation.

You can also get a boot disc like the PS-X Change which does the same thing but on a disc.

Best choice would be an internal mod, they are very cheap thesedays :)

Are you going to solder the chip to the board yourself or get it installed professionally?

If you are doing it yourself, somewhere like http://www.gamegizmo.com/products.php?sysID=1&catID=1&pID=3

If installed professionally, try at a computer fair or ask around electronic smaller electrical shops

I would take a internal mod over a plugmod any day.

thks to all off you for your reply I believe I prefer to find a professional to do that like said in one of your post. I think (it s in fact for my son his PS1, and he is 6 years old) it s better for the usage I (he) will do.

I hope I will find easily.

If somebody knows someone in Belgium....

Thks once more

no need for a internal chip or and external either. search modchip sites for boot disc. You have to buy 1. you can not download 1 since they are not burned in the normal way. The cost about 30 dollars
