There are different kinds of protection.

First there is the protection that doesnt allow you to make an exacto copy and play without a modchip.

Second there is Region protection that wont let you play a playstation game from another country.

Thirdly there is antimodchip protection which is a code that just looks for a constant signal being sent by the modchip. Newer stealth modchips go into sleep mode right after they boot a game thus the code doesnt sense the chip and allows you to continue playing.




The link you posted is for Region protection. Not Antimod protection. Getting a japanese ps1 wont get you past antimod protection any better than your current ps1.

Getting a Stealth Modchip for your ps1 is the best thing you can do for it. It will fix basically every problem you have. There is a Sticky for plenty of Modchip installers in the PS2 section, Im sure one of them can install a stealth chip in your ps1.
