Yes that was a joke.
I know a PSX needs to be chipped to run backups.
My Youtube vid should indicate that I know that

I've chipped literally hundreds of them.
I said it does run a Gran Turismo backup,
but that backup is on a CD-R brand I can't get anymore,
and I think the PSOne only boots PAL stuff.
In all honesty, I don't know if my program is PAL or NTSC, an older model PSX shouldn't care.
