Title: PAL/US games on a japanese PSone ?
Post by: Moosmann on August 02, 2006, 06:20:45 AM
I know, if I want to play US/JP NTSC games on a PAL PSone, I need a "ONE-Chip" with additional two wires (3 and 4) for an "Bios Patch" http://www.doam.de/deutsch/stealth/psone.html (http://www.doam.de/deutsch/stealth/psone.html), because without them I can only play PAL-Backups :(

I really don`t know if a japanese PSone need an "Bios Patch" like the PAL PSone in order to play US/PAL games. Anybody knows a place to buy a "IMPORT" (not Backup) Modchip for the small Psone (japanese Version), because www.doam.de have only chips in stock for a PAL PSone, not for the japanese.

If you can track down the hex code (which I'm pretty sure is public) then anyone with a pic programmer can make one.

It is true, the HEX code is public and you can just flash your own PIC12C508. I did this and used it in my PSOne, works great!

The PIC12C508 can only be flashed once though, so you have to get it right the first time. I learned this the hard way when I could not figure out why my first attempt at this was not working!

Enjoy!

I dont`t know the I-Net place to get the Hex-Code and I also need only two Chips.
I will not make experiments "how to programm a PIC" first ;)

If you install a regular mod chip, you can use a boot disc in order to play your imported games. More on that here (http://www.cyber-mag.com/station/ps1.htm). This boot disc will also let you force 60Hz on PAL games and force 50Hz on NTSC games if you'd want that. Pretty convenient.

I know this method with the Bootdisc, but I wanted a Chip without to use a bootdisc.

Can't help you with any resellers, but I have never seen a modchip with a BIOS patch for an NTSC PSone. I don't think it's needed, but I really don't know.

AFAIK most resellers in the NTSC areas used to sell Mayumi v5 and Multimode 3 based stealth chips for the PSone. But you wanted a import only chip (aside from ethic and legal matters, a good technical reason for your choice would be near perfect stealth). Maybe Old Crows anti-piracy code will still work in 4-wire mode.

Good luck finding a reseller.
