ive fitted a few smartchips
only problems found action replay, theres no turn off of chip 5 secs
will be ps1 mode if u hold for 5 secs

never done hard extensive test on what it will boot but games i tried booted fine

as for the dead v9 situation
its a funny one,but i can honestly say that i have no dead v9 yet nor does a few installers i know well
