The Modchip is REAL! More Info and a Pic of Undiluted Platinum! |
Ó
The U.P. (Undiluted Platinum) is a flash replacement system for the PSP™ which allows the use of previous flash updates or custom firmware builds, opening up the possibility to run unsigned homebrew code on even the latest PSP systems. The U.P. contains 32MB NAND flash which is programmable from the PC via a high speed USB connection, using our user friendly software. You may boot the PSP from either its onboard flash or the flash contained on the U.P; the flash which is used is determined by a button press as the PSP is powered on (U.P. flash is used by default, hold L1 to use the PSP onboard flash). Since U.P. provides a secondary flash which the PSP can boot from, it can even be used to restore a PSP which has been "bricked". Every effort has been made to make our flash updater software, which will be freely available for download, both as easy to use and reliable as possible. The software also contains diagnostics which can be used by installers to determine if an installation has been successful or not.It will be priced at around 75 Euros, or $90. A bit high, if you ask me. But completely worth it. I guess this is enough to silence the skeptics. And making the PSP 'brick-proof'? Wow, that's something which will excite everyone. This would obviously lead to more hacks since the hackers can experiment without fearing bricking their PSP.
The U.P. has been designed to minimize installation difficulty and effort. A FPC (flexible printed circuit) cable is included which routes the essential signals from the PSP motherboard to the U.P. main board and U.P. USB connector. Copper enamel wire is included, which will provide the connection between the FPC cable and the motherboard signal traces. The FPC cable also helps by reducing the mechanical stress placed on the solder points, making a U.P. modified PSP shock resistant which is important for handheld systems. Installation aids are included, and installation diagrams for all PSP hardware revisions will be available for download, together with flasher software application, from our reseller's websites. More about installation together with install pictures closer to release.
The FPC cable end to which the USB connector board attaches is routed into the battery compartment and sits above the battery. The battery cover can be replaced after flash updating and the cable remains safely in the compartment until the next update is required, whereupon the USB connector can be clipped in place within a few seconds. This means that the U.P. is completely contained within the PSP under normal usage and avoids any unsightly external modifications to your PSP. PSP is after all portable, letÂ’s keep it that way!
In order to maximise the benefits that U.P. can provide its users, we have decided to take an open source approach with U.P and will be releasing source code for any software we release as well as full documentation for the U.P. hardware interface - including information on how to control U.P. from within PSP programs. This will allow anybody to create software which can take advantage of what U.P. has to offer. We have also sent a few prototype units away to some of the scene's best software hackers in order to give them a headstart at working on custom flash replacements - cant wait to see what people will come up with!

this definitly rocks #@!
halleluya
excellent excellent
I read the news before qj.net O ye.
ITS SOOO COOL YOU CANT BRICK YOUR PSP. you can easy restore the flash.
tis' a great day for the psp, tis' true!
SONY tha GAME is OVER for you MUUUUUUUUUUHHHH HHHHAAAAAAAAAAH HHHHHHHHHAAAA
everyone rejoice!
The Xbox modchip I bought and installed was $20 shipped but at $90, this may bring out new value in my ol' PSP. Cheers folks, raise one 'cause Sony is out of the picture for real and it'll stay that way. Bring on v3.0 Sony, I'll happily upgrade (my local) firmware...
Kudos to the U.P. crew for doing it open source. That rules.
fricking AWESOME! cant wait:D
woot, push me and then just touch me til I get my satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction. satisfaction.
ZOMFG. This roxxorz my boxxorz.
I haven't been following any PSP news for many months now, but a friend linked me to this article. Now I'm not quite sure what "unbrickable" means, since I haven't been around the PSP scene for a while, but does this ACTUALLY mean I can safely drop a brick on my PSP without damaging it?
Someone please respond, I've been contemplating this action for some time now, and I had almost lost hope. If this device will allow me to test my brick dropping skills at my own free will, then I just might shell out the $90!
i can't wait to buy this!!!!! thats soooo amazing!!!!
The psp has now become the best handheld heh. Good luck trying to block this one sony.
***** yeah
If no one buy the games fore PSP, they will stop making games, and than PSP will die...
So i dont know how happy i am abaut this chip...
Look at the UMD movies.. no one buy them, than they stop making them, evereyone buy the chip, and no one will make games, becaus everyone downloda them...
So will this increase the systems cache too?
hell yisel
Worth it. I'll get it wen it comes out

Hahahahahaha no this means you cannot break the psp's operating system. A bricked psp means you cannot fix it.
my question is if you can update your psp's real flash to the latest sony update to take advantage of the new sony firmware stuff and use the chips flash as teh homebrew firmware?
Last monday i won a 1.5 PSP on ebay and it arrives tuesday. Now i wish i hadnt won it. I think i will resell it or my 2.6 on ebay and then just get this mod chip.
@21: It says that you can switch to your old flash/firmware, and use it as normal.
O, these people will be stinking rich. This is a new history in PSP homebrew. From now on, everything will change.
Look at the UMD movies.. no one bought them because they were "expensive" to all these little cheap kids
but these kids will pay 90 bux happily to pirate stuff.
whoever releases this chip to the public is only DOWNGRADING the quality of future games because sony is going to get less money.
WOW that is sik. cant wait for more info.
One quick question...when I was modding my XBOX I ffried it right away and had to go buy another one - How easy is this going to be to install? Can someone with limited soldering skills do it?
The PSP is about 250$ each - I dont want to go through many of them just to play homebrew.
absolutely crazy. I can't wait to see what happens.
I'll buy one when I see a custom firmware.
Yes many people are having problems with bricks falling on their PSP especially in the UK...where the building are pretty old. Those who like in North America do not have to worry for most of our buildings are very new ~50 years at the most.
This "unbricking" will fix any problems that the flash memory on the PSP might suffer from having bricks hit them. Easy eay to test it. HAve a friend throw a brick at you ----slowly so you dont get hurt -- then holding the PSP like a baseball bat try to hit the brick - keep trying unitl you really connect hard. This simulates the effect of a brick falling on the PSP with minumal risk to bodily injury. Then install the MOD CHIP and voila its back to new!
totally wrong people who is sticking with 1.5 is because they don't care about games, this will allow people to hace homebrew and the posibility to play original games that require newer firmware
this is gonna be awesome, how hard will it be to install it by ourselves?
I hope there will not be 18 wires to solder like it was the case with my PS2...
seriously.. can you even get these across the border? (canada US border)
Bull**** with the "oh my god everyone will play the iso game !". I know that alot of ppl will buy the real games. And if you look at the xbox and the ps1/2, then you will see that even though they have mod chips, ppl buy the games.
QJ suck balls. Yet again they fail to credit a source. I submitted this over 2 hours ago. I needn't have bothered.
hey fanjita / ditlew.. what you think about that?? Please give your tough.
Sony is so f***ing screwed. Bring us the mod chip so that we may laugh at sony's petty firmware updates. We were once slaves to firmware updates but with this mod chip we may be free at last!
Raise a glass and rejoice!
we should wait untill sony releases the firmware for the PS1 emulator. After that, Then i would be content with my PSP forever.
I already play isos, and I'm going to continue to play isos...with or without this chip.
this definately has potential to make things interesting. I can't wait to see what comes of it.
Thank you for submitting news tips - however we were already aware of this news through a separate email from the source (where the image and information came from) before your tip came in. It was not the source provided by your email.
And it was only an hour ago. ;) But really, thanks!
This will probably make me buy more games. At the moment I don't buy any because I don't want to have to upgrade past 2.00. This means I can have the newest firmware to play A1 games that I've bought but I can also use homebrew utilities and play the odd game either to try it or because it's not good enough to buy. Also I prefer to play games off a moemory stick because I find they run better. Case in point X-Men Legends is much better on a mem stick as it doesn't suffer from pausing through loading times
I know that if I use this Mod Chip I will still buy Psp UMD's. The main reason I have not purchased some UMD's was due to firmware restrictions. With this Mod Chip I will be able to purchase new games to support the Devs hard work and at the same time play emulators in kernel mode. This will not kill the Psp, it will effectively make it the true handheld emulator king. No doubt there will be websites that will have a Mod Chip fitting service and I really think this will increase the Psps life as opposed to kill it. Don't forget that there are many people who have still never heard of Psp homebrew and most stumbled upon it purely by accident. This is great news, for once news that is not proved fake.
WOOWOOOW!!!!
Hahahahaha!
HahaHAHA!
AAHAHHAHAHAHA!
THIS IS AWESOME!
I love you, U.P.
I hope there will not be 18 wires to solder like it was the case with my PS2...
Can you even fit 18 wies in your psp
##12 oh man, thank you. I had a good laugh.
you are rich man, 2 rich.. lol
where can I buy this? NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW OMFG I WANT THIS /noobpost
Everybody look UP!
+Dfsadf bm n,n`]\['./`NM
I think that this will actualy help sell more umd games. I might actually buy some now that I do not have to worry about loosing my 1.5fw psp, cuz i like homebrew.
IT'S SONY'S FAULT, THEY SHOULD ATLEAST ALLOW US TO PLAY HOMBREWS. KNOW WE CAN PLAY BACK UP GAMES AND HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARES.
$90 definately isn't too much, and since this is only the first one, you can expect things to get cheaper (hopefully). Brick free PSP is definately something to look forward to.
I agree with #40... I dont buy games anymore because I'm not upgrading past 2.0... Maybe I will if I dont have to upgrade...
Either the Seller's Website or eBay? I rather buy at eBay, cuz if the Seller have Coverage Protection that accept secure payment such as Paypal!
Now is open one more way to develop for psp. Only one thing left, just one. UMD recorder XDDDDDDDDD
right now, id hate to be the person who gave up on their bricked psps and threw them away ;D
SONY CAN KNOW KISS OUR ASS
IT'S SONY'S FAULT, THEY SHOULD ATLEAST ALLOW US TO PLAY HOMBREWS. KNOW WE CAN PLAY BACK UP GAMES AND HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARES.
OH GOD AGREED !!! AHHHHHHHHHHG
... This will definately make me buy more games. I haven't ever bought any game because I only play games for their online capabilities; Right when I get this, I'm buying Socom 2.
Sure some people will pirate more, but others will be buying more now that they can play their oldschool favorites and the new titles on one unit. This is awesome.
i was just here 10 minutes ago when there was onl 10 comments, and now theres 50!
Yeah, This will deffinatly alow me to buy more games. I won't have to worry every time I update (PSP was 2.5 at the begining, and I hate GTA) that some new hack or somethign will come out the next day and screw me over, ya know. So I will be able to buy the new games, use their firmware, and do all that stuff. Perfect.
(Though this also might drive down the price of 1.5 PSP or even later buy a modded one on ebay for cheap, and not ruin my Best Buy warrenty thing on the PSP I have now =p)
DONT SCREW OVER THE MAC PEOPLE! MAKE YOUR SOFTWARE MAC, TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
This is amazing!
OH MY GOD!!!
are you girls stupid?
this modchip might make sony release a firmware that runs a mod chip detection before starting up
then you'd still be fu(ked
this is just a major victory against sony, but the war ain't over
goodbye fanjita
just making stupid comments...
YES!!!! NOW I CAN REVIVE MY BRICKED PSP!!!!
I might get this modchip just for the "unbrickable" part, and the "running homebrew on latest firmwares" part also looks really cool. I'd definitely get this if i could find good installation instructions on the internet, and found that it's acceptably easy to install. It sounds like it is
well, looks like sony lost, with the specs on this, sony cant do anything to stop homebrew, or unsigned code of any type, because your psp will no longer be sony, it will be up to you and the mod chip developers to decide what is allowed and not allowed to be ran on your psp.
and DEVS will be able to experament without bricking fear, that means custom firmware, for ALL is just around the corner, as once they have perfected this by bricking there psp about 1000 times and fixing what goes rong, they can make sure it will work for all!
nocomment
I took apart my bricked PSP (And lost some of the stuff)... ah well, I'll get it for my 2.7 anyway.
who is the group thats actually releasing this modchip? this is just about the only information that hasnt been released as yet. im still uncertain that it actually exists. the info posted here sure looks real but i still have doubts.
WIth the modchip you should be able to shut off power to it and if the power is off it is invisible and no firmware will be able to see it.
I'v been asking myself the same question, #72. What company is actually making this thing? Until I see a company site for the U.P., I'm taking this with a grain of salt.
Not bad, just 1 year after release.
This is defenetly gona be worth the $90!
I think, being the first chip for the psp and the way they mention signal traces, this thing is going to be a ***** to install. I'm game though, it's not as if I use my psp as it is.
#5 America what?? what do you mean?
This could be good for sony
1st-- us 1.5ers would buy the 2.6+ games
2nd-- more psp's sold just for the hack... i mite by another 1
i think i will wait and see what sonys come back is
+ if its soldering..i think most plp wont do it
Is there any official U.P. website?
just wonder to have it now and test it. Hope UK can have it in the market and help me to Install it in my 2.50 PSP.^_^
it would Sony awhile to fix this problem.
I wouldnt buy the modchip if you need to soldering because Im not to good with them stuff.
i agree with you all but... maby its another fake... i mean, its easy to creat a picture of that mod chip on photoshop or something and to claim that it can run practrically anything u put on it is a peace of cake... but, have you actually seen the mod chip in action yet?
untill i see that im not gettin my hopes up...
I dont think that this will cause the psp to die out because of ppl dloading the games. I mean it just gives best of both worlds right? You still cant load street supremacy, splinter cell or outrun c2c on a 1.5 psp. To play them you'll have to update. I think this will increase sales, as everyone will upgrade to play the new games, but still have the ability to play homebrew because of the chip.
finally, a custom(homebrew )developers edition of psp!
I will buy Field commander.
So many games I don't buy because I love my 1.5.
I had a GBA ROM card and I still bought GBA games.
Lemme pre order.
its not out yet.......
when is it gonna be avelable??
shouldnt it already have been annouced at modchip.com or any other modchip sites???
I mean they should be the firts to know right??????
As long as the mod chip is initialized BEFORE the actual flash held on the PSP, it can never be overwritten, so sony can't do anything about it, so you will ALWAYS be able to downgrade your PSP.
HOWEVER, they CAN detect the mod chip at runtime, and if you have a modchip, sony can block out updates, which means that once you install the mod chip you will never be able to upgrade again.
In other words, you could never run higher than 2.7 with this, unless you are able to put the update on the modchip itself. In that case, everything will work perfectly.
Is it solder-less? I was a little confused by the overview of the instullation. I don't have a soldering iron and have no soldering experience, so it would be good if you didn't have to solder.
I dont need to use this chip to play hacked games. i just want to play my own software like the wifi scanner. msx emulater ( what rocks :) ) and some other home made stuff. i own plenty of games. but cant play them proper on my 1.5. with this chip i could bootup the 1.5 for my homebrew and original 3.0 for my original games.. so i dont see the point why this chip for me would increase piracy, stripped games what are stripped to fit on a 1 gb stick are soo boring to play without the music and movies. get real buy real and enjoy the work. get emu buy the chip and go retro
Hello people great news this is.
Will the 32 MB extra NAND flash Ram make the PSP emulators run better?
I hope so, full speed Monkey 64 & a working GBA emulator full speed with sound.
THIS IS FANTASTIC. I will definately buy this & dare I say update my F/W 1.5 >_<
F/W 1.5 NO longer RuleZ
" the flash which is used is determined by a button press as the PSP is powered on (U.P. flash is used by default, hold L1 to use the PSP onboard flash). Since U.P. provides a secondary flash which the PSP can boot from, it can even be used to restore a PSP which has been "bricked"."
How does it handle bringing the PSP back on from sleep mode if I sent it to sleep from the onboard (legal) firmware? Do I need to hold L again while turning it on in that situation?
YEHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...
it the better notice of the year to me
I AM SO HAPPY. I was just about to buy a second PSP so I could play some of the newer games, but now that this will be available, I am not going to do so. After all, carrying around one PSP is much better than having two to take care of.
I see this stuff good for those pirates who own a 2.6 psp, but really: you cant even play online so what is the point of buying this for 1.5 users...maybe it will come handy to those dev who work on the homebrew scene, nothing more.
Holy *****!
YES!!!!!!!
*cum* ._. ...
yeah gonna buy one but only for homebrew cause it will have better acces to the hardware so games wil run as good as official games... and i buy a game and put the backup on my "chipped" psp and then me and my mate can play gta toghter!! Fok Yeah
I want it nooow.
This does nothing to allow homebrew on 2.7+ etc. The most you can get is fw1.5 - fw2.7 switchable. All this talk about hybrid firmware, custom firmware etc. are just wishful thinking....
i guess im going to get a 2nd PSP now , befor SONY
change the desing of the new PSP and make it anti-mod
great news
Thank god!! This is great news. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these babys!!
I still don't know, will the psp have 32 or 64 MB of Flash NAND ram after the fitting of the modchip.
PLEASE some computer technician answer
THANKS
You know what's funny....almost all of you don't have soldering skills.
Hmmmn, just wondering how many console units they will now sell because it can be modded? Thats got to be + for sony, and then there is the future releases of hardware to come, gps, camera thingy etc. a lot of people would rather miss out and have homebrew, now they can have it all.
It's nice to see that people make mod chips for the PSP too! Maybe now we can mod online games!
What a nice overpriced chip, some know how to make money from people that don't like to pay ... for games
"You know what's funny....almost all of you don't have soldering skills." -Ren
Or typing skills. Look at all that broken, horrible english. Half the time it's like reading posts written by an epileptic druggy with a bag of speed being flashed with a strobe light. Not to mention all the people that seem to have no idea what they're talking about
Anyway, I really suggest everyone take it with a grain of salt. Don't get over excited until we see something concrete.
wait a minute, do you have to take the screen off for this? that is what it looks like in the picture.
Wait untill the clones come out... then it will be cheaper...
well im not getting my hopes up just yet because this could be a trick. what if sony planned this to get ppl to update their 1.5s and start buying a nut load of umd games? would that mean all the people who got excited and bought one and updated got f'ed in the a
i will not believe this until i see these things:
1. a video of this working on a real psp
2. a website with multiple payment options
and... da da dum...
3. people who own the chip and got good results(no exploding, unexplicable crashing, melting, laser shooting, etc happening)
if i see those 3 things i will order one shortly after it goes on sale
HELL YEAH, Sony sucks they wouldn't be in this mess if they made their products as the customer wants THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT, if I don't have what I want why not make what I want, if I knew anything about modchips I would've done it already good thing there are ppl like me that do know how to make them, I hope Sony finally gets the message, "YOU DO NOT OWN US" we do what we want with what we buy from you giving us a PSP with so much power drained from it because you losers want more money is like giving away 250€ to the gutter, so I say HELL YEAH bring on the modchip and actually have the machine you paid for.
Just great...
like wtf?! why would anybody want to flash their PSP. this crap is to expensive for shuch a piece of crap its maybe worth 1 cent or maybe for negative $10000000 haha suckerz and it probably dosent even work like wut a wate of time people stick with our firmware updates the next update is 2.80 and will have an improved flash player plus a shokwave player for the web browser and a text veiwer ( you can also write text) and several other features so screw this and wait till the 2.80 is out!
#16 is totally right. I want this and SONY to keep going though, so im pretty much neutral on this modchip, and sony failing.
I replaced my asterix faceplate, took my PSP apart a few times, and have seen INSIDE the unit and guess what?
that pic above shows a level of depth inside the PSP that most users will not be able to reach.
its UNDER the boards that contain the contacts for the controls
UNDER the screen, and under the metal plate that holds the screen in.
which rests on top of another circut board, which seems to also have been removed.
so it's like faceplate off, screen pryed out, metal plate removed, circut board removed, and chip installed.
then you miraculously put it allll back together no problem huh?
get ready for the boards to be flooded with "I busted me PsP" threads....
If/When this is released, I'll buy more UMDs.
Right now I don't buy new games because they don't run on 1.5fw. Ironic that I'll have to 'hack' the PSP so I can buy games.
Great News for those who fabricate those chips, they´ll be rich in a week!
GOOD NEWS anyway
now someone make a program to bypass the full screen video resolution cant wait ha ha ha ha ha ha
what the hell here???? supposed broken key system ???? ahhahhaahaha

nocomment
yo ...april fools is over. i dont believe this is legit untill a video comes out.
No Problèmo !!!!!
This is class.
Will finally be able to play the games I can't play on my 1.5FW. I know you can download and fix some so they DO play, but I'd much rather buy the games.
This is definitely awesome news.
i am not doing this if you have to take off the screen...

i bet this is a another fake.... if it isnt, i am buying.. i am saving up money now just incase... lol but dont hold your breath. i am going to wait till someone buys one and says it is legit
"well im not getting my hopes up just yet because this could be a trick. what if sony planned this to get ppl to update their 1.5s and start buying a nut load of umd games? would that mean all the people who got excited and bought one and updated got f'ed in the a"
What would happen? Sony would be sued by Nintendo for making a Gamecube modchip, and they'd also feel silly for releasing PS2 mods over the years, and HDloader.
Seems like an awful lot of years building up illegal groundwork to come up with a fake mod to trick a few kids into updating, when 1.5 can't even play the latest games.
Next nail in SONY coffin...
This company will die very soon.
Too high expences, too low benefits.
Sometimes "freedom" means "death".
PS: "FREEDOM!!! AT LAST!" said follen leaf...
your an
idiot....
hopefully this wont require any soildering during installation if it doesnt then imma def buy this ive been wanting to go back to 1.5 for the longest time
Post 132.
Explain.
how many wires will be required to be soldered to install this chip?
***** YEA!!!!!
this is by far the best thing to happen to the psp in my opinion
this is interesting i at present do play a couple iso's but thats mostly due to me beeing tired of going to the rental store and finding out i can't rent the game because it needs new firmware(man i was so tempted for PIQ but now i can play that)
well sony it looks like we hackers be you to it a MOD chip. so wheres the bull sh it talk abou" o we do that update stuff to prevent piracy" hahahahahahahah aahahahahahahah hahahahahahahah ahahahahahahah! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! b i t c h!
This is great news!!! Personally I think everyone wins here, and methinks sony's gonna get a shock when they realise they start selling twice as many games when this is released. If, as most people think, sony are just in it for the money, I don't think they're idotic enough to put modchip protection on a new firmware.. they'd lose a hell of a lot more money than the 'anti-piracy' reputation they'd gain.
"This does nothing to allow homebrew on 2.7+ etc. The most you can get is fw1.5 - fw2.7 switchable. All this talk about hybrid firmware, custom firmware etc. are just wishful thinking...."
yeah, we won't get hybrid or custom firmware straight away, but this chip means developers can make and try out custom firmware without the 99% risk of bricking we have atm. thas some goooooooooooooo od ass s**t!
I have 1.5 fw PSP. What kind of benefit will i get if i buy the chip? please answer!
"yeah, we won't get hybrid or custom firmware straight away"
Yes, yes we will.
I cannot get the pic to load. Is there any other website or place that I can see this chip?
Looks like got to save up $800 bucks now. Around $100 for this modchip, and $700 for the PS3 (plus accesories and a game.)
I'm laughing at the idiots who say we won't be able to install this ourselves. There's lot's of people here who could disassemble an reassemble anything with the instructions.
Soldering isn't hard after some practice.
And to say custom firmware won't happen is hilarious.
Obviously they never played with any modchips whatsoever.
Dhurrrrrrr
I didn treally understand what can it do but I have a 2.6 PSP I buy a game evry month and I have lots of emulators and homebrew so what s my benefit
it doesn't take 10million to make one measly game, if it did alot of people would become a game designer
This modchip sound aawesome but someone above isn't wrong when he/she said that if no ones buy games they'll stop making it but there are people that doesn't want to risk open their psp. Just like xbox and ps2 there are modchips for it and even solderless modchip too but people still go out and buy a $50 new release just cuz they're rich and don't want to risk their ps2 or xbox. This chip can be great cuz it can help people with new fw like 2.6 flash their psp back to 1.5 or running homebrew on 2.6 and 2.7 i think. but it does'nt say it support ISO loading anywhere.
I own 2 1.5 FW P$P's and am intrigued by this. If it's real & easy to install then I may consider modding 1 of them when the cost decreases significantly. Otherwise I'll stick 2 my original plan & update 1 when I buy a P$3. ILLEGAL MACHINE is right. I can see the posts now. If the chip works I may actually start buying games. Till now, no new games or FW updates were worth losing even 1 of my 1.5's. If I buy & install it w/o needing to post a HELP, I BURNT SOME THINGY IN MY P$P & NOW IT DON'T WORK topic then I'll be extremely happy. P.S. Links 2 on P$P rocks. .A.J.
oh this is the best news of the day
The only reason I don't buy UMDs now is because of the firmware restrictions and I'm still on 1.5. This would let me run anything I want, so what's to lose?? Should also help to encourage more homebrew developers simply because there'll be more psp's out there that can run homebrew.
Second, mod chips have been ruled perfectly LEGAL here in Australia. Kiss my ass America.
makes me wanna throw a party with du hast in the background WOOOOHHHOOO!!! SONY HAS BEEN DEFEATED!!!! I LIKE PIE!!!!!
All I can say this is very entertaining to read about, im now going to jump off a bridge because im so excited
THIS IS JUST FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!! ! FINALLY I CAN SAY, IN YOUR *****IN FACES SONY. SONY U R ONE FAT *****, I CONTROLS U WITH MY FUTURE MODCHIP POWER!!!!!!!
This might meen that with custom firmware, we can MAKE OUR MAXIMUM memorystick compacity 100 GIGS!!!
WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!
I am definately gonna buy one! $90 is totally worth it!
And yea, its exactly what I thoguht it was gonna be, a dual boot flash chip, nice! I liek hwo ti loads the lower firmware by default, or if u put this in a 1.5, itll load the higher, cool, I cant wait!
We can have 1.5 on the chip for homebrew
Then for the newer games sony could require the newer version so you can't iso them.
So sony just has to crank up the security on the newer ones.
Add me to the list of those that say if this works like it says it does it would actually entice me to buy more games, not less. Not needing to wonder if I can get Stacked or other new games working on my 1.5 or whether I should upgrade to play these games and potentially lose some homebrews I like.
It's not about pirating software for many of us.
I honestly hope that this is the real thing, but don't be stupid and upgrade to 2.7 until there are actual modded psp's . This could still be a bad prank. Think about how much a 1.5 will go for on ebay when everyone and their brother upgrades to 2.7 and this turns out to be fake. Patience people.
Revive bricked psps? Could you possibly take out the mod chip after the psp has been revived and place it in another bricked psp? I smell a way to afford a ps3 :)
I probably won't buy this since I already have a 1.5 but this means that I can convince my friends to get a psp. Then we can all adhoc!!!
BTW anyone wanna play psp in vancouver BC? I'll meet you somewhere lol
ive been emulationg and stuff for a couple months now and can anyone tell me what exactly this modchip does? sorry for being a retard but can someone plz tell me what it does and dumb down its description for me?
90 BUCKS thats god damn expensive. Modchips shouldn't cost that much!
This is *****in great! now we can have the latest firmware and the beloved 1.5 (or 1.0 for those that still have it). I cant wait
if it means homebrew on my 2.7 without the use of gta il deffentley get this and to me $90 is cheap
Who cares if people play pirated games? I Play them. I wouldn't play the games if I didn't download them. I have only bought like three games. There just ins't anything out there that I like. Even the one that I download I don't really play. Maybe once or twice. I don't even buy games for my xbox 360. I hardly ever play it. Of coarse I'm going to get this just for the abliity to keep my homebrew, and be able to use the camera, gps, and playstation emulator. But I think that most people that download games wouldn't buy them in the first place. Thats just what I think.

ok lets see here ok so there is a psp modship ummmmmmmmmmm... but its true the if this can do all that it means the sony will drop down because, hey who invented the psp, sony so if everybody buys this it would mean people can rent psp games at gamefly.com and get the psp iso from a rent game and keep the iso forever so all the games the come out nobody will buy them so this modship is good and cool but it will decrease sonys money and they will make less games less playstations and will make everything more spensive so this will help but it will also make sony give up on psps so i think you should think about it
HELL YEA MODCHIPS ARE LEGAL IN AUSTRALIA
BRING ON THE PSP CHIP!!!!
im still going to buy umd games though, you have gotta give devs the credit of making some awesome games.
to people thinking the chip will kill UMD sales and PSP game development, I answer : look at the PS1. its sales wouldn't have been so huge if there weren't the possibility to play pirated games. And a huge amount of sold units allows the production of higher quality games at a much lower price.
Modchipping my PS1 didn't provide me from buying games. In the opposite, I wouldn't have bought the PS1 (and the games) if there was no modchip.
Anyone want to buy my GTA!?
This is great news!
Sony must be *****ting them selves.. The only way i see them beating this is to release the PSP2 and have a totally new UMD format to go with it..
ok guys this is a big break. But sony will not be defeated. Imagine the whole community of psp's all running iso's. NO new games would be made, and sony would stop making new firmwares. This modchip will also delay the psp2. Again guys there is a good and a bad to this. imagine 80 percent of the psp community on iso's. this would piss sony off into deadstocking psp's and cancelling the project so do not abuse this modchip. Im not gonna lie to you ill get a modchip but once in a blue moon ill go to the store and buy a $5 game just ti show my support but not all the time. I will have a few iso's which will again require you to purchase a bigger size mem stick(where i would not be surprised if sony raised the prices on them). If these custom firmware builts on the modchip can be rigged i gues s we'll be able to rig it to like a 2gb or something but i i dont know just a thought. So in summary of all this get a modchip but still support sony once in a while just not to piss them off too much......
very cool, too expensive... neexxxxttt
How much willl the mod chip cost? And dont no one else just start posting their own comments after this! I want this comment answered!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Where will you have to buy it? At what site? Will you have to use a credit card? Because Im too young to use credit cards and I really want that mod chip!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
everyone who is happy about this is a fool, it's only a matter of time ti'll a sony fan tells the news to sony and sony puts this company who develops the modhcips in jail. QJ should just delete this new and everyone to find these look it up on google , tell the company to change the metatag to a secert code instead of description ( like mod2112ch!p or something ) , put the code here for one day and delete it from QJ , there is a small chace that sony finds out about this that way , plz do that soon before sony takes legal actions upon this manufacturer and the modchip doesn't become true.
you're omitting the mass effect. It's obvious that the modchip will increase PSP sales. And (much) more PSP owners represent much higher sale opportunity. Even if tomorrow people buy half fewer games than today, this still represent bigger sales for the game industry. Do you think Bill Gates got the richest man in the universe because every PC owner bought a copy of Windows and Office ?
no 175 let us enjoy this as long as wa can we no al of this so just **** off ok
does this allow 2 firmwires or 1 i dont know how this would work with one maybe unbricking but.....
Sony is a facist companythey deserve thier losses and they are going to be finished by2010 the psp SUCKS as a game system there are less then 5 decent games on it. the ps3 is going to be a catastrophic failure and bc they are invesing so greatly into blu ray its another nail in thier coffin, how do you go against microsoft. UP might save the psp bc its sales kinda suck as a game system the ds is much much better. Most people use thier psp as portable pc as it is. I have a 1.5 and I havent bought a umd or game bc I dont support sony a company that limits thier own tech, installs spyware on peoples computers and expects parents to dissapoint thier kids when they cant afford a ps3 needs to be SHUT DOWN
wip out the soldering iron from modding your xbox for this bad boy...
along with the torque set
you're an idiot , I'm saying the truth , pspupdates , trace the ip addresses of all the people who post and send us the information by e-mail , if sony finds out they will ask any information you have on this manufacturer and by law you will have to talk and they will close down that company , I may be only a 14 year old kid but I know a bit of laws and I don't wanna see this manufacturers to be stopped.
Ok, Modchip will not KILL the psp. Modchip didn't kill the PS1 or PS2 or Xbox or the dozen other consoles that have been modded. But Look at the Xbox, Hell I don't even play it much anymore but I do use it almost daily as XBMC player. Thing of the custom firmwares people and groups will make. The possiblity to use USB HD's, if someone gets that working I'm super glueing a 80 2.5" HD to the back of my PSP. And people will be able to levage the full power of the PSP now .. looking forward to PSPMC or something like that.
the devil is comming...
HOLY SHEEP SHIZZ!!!!! OH MY FRICKING GAWD!!!!!! IM GETTING AN ORGIE!!!!!!..........wow i nearly passed out.
So when is this thing estimated to be released? They have given all kinds of information, except for who makes it, and when it will be released!
What gives?
I have just found out that modchipman will be carrying the chips once they are released. Although I am sure with the demand that there will be for these more places will have them.
hey i work at SCEA america and if u guys think they havent known this was coming for a while and havent been preparing for it.....your all sadly mistaken.......
From what I, and most of you, have probably gathered, the phrase "allows homebrew on 2.7+" is incorrect. Its more like you have 2 PSPs in 1: one with 1.5 and one with 2.7+. This modchip is pretty much just a switchboard between two separate firmwares, much like MPH's Firmware launcher, just a bit easier to use. It does have its obvious pluses tho: higher firmwares and all homebrew coexisting, more memory, reviving bricked psps, etc. I'd gladly shell out $90 for it.
Ok, you're no Sony rep, main reasons being Sony reps spell better than you do, as well as they know what SCEA stands for.. you just said "hey I work at Sony Computer Enterainment America America"
At any rate, this mod chip will make for a more even war with Sony, they've come very close to losing this war on many occations, and this is another battle won.. no more firmware limitations.
vay m.k. o zaman :)
First things first...
Would everyone please take a training course in standard english. I swear, all of this 'engrish' is giving me a headache.
Secondly, people need to understand that installing this modchip isn't as easy as putting in a UMD (which I've seen some people have trouble with :p). This mod will require a steady hand, a base knowledge of working with sensitive electrical circuits, along with the know-how to take everything apart and put it back together properly. All these kids that are like, "Modchip ownz, but me no can solder, is it solderless?" are going to be seriously disappointed when they figure out how to take the case off of their psp and then find themselves stuck.
Thirdly, the makers of this chip should only release this chip in limited quantities until after there has been confirmation of this actually working, so as to spare all of us that know what we are doing from having to read all of the "the modchip broked my psp, help plz" threads that will undoubtably show up all over the net once this chip goes global.
Anyway, figure I'm done rambling now. Everyone can get back to being kids again.
The english was horrid, but you can see much much worse in AOL chat rooms, those people arn't even worthy of AOL...
Soldering will be an issue with it yes, but as a few people have said, just a bit of practice and you're good to go, just get some soldering metals and an iron and draw on something with it, trace it out first, if you can do it without all that many mistakes then good.
Sensitive electronics aside, if the guide(s) are good enough and people pay attention to them and follow them to the letter, they shouldn't have problems.
The "help plz i brok mi psp" threads will be there sure, but from 8 year olds who tried to do it with clothes iron or something...
You wont need 1.5 to run isos once this comes out. You will have kernal access at 2.7 and you will be able to directly emulate every iso that is out. No more of that runumd *****. I can't wait for this. I will be ordering as soon as they are released :D.
181 did you even READ what i said
i said let us rejoice while we CAN dammit gess 14 year olds these days dont even read
You people are idiots.
Does anyone remember this really nifty system called the Dreamcast? it was doing well, until someone startd hacking it and allowing downloaded/copied games on it.
Now, its a console with not even 250 games on it. Thanks Hackers!
Whats gonna happen to the PSP now? huh... goodbye PSP >.
The Dreamcast failed because of the PS1, not because of hackers... in all reality the Dreamcast was a superior console, but the games wern't that high of quality and all of the major companies went with the PS1. If the Dreamcast had been launched sooner, it could of been a higher seller, and maybe would of doomed Sony as a console developer. Sega had a great console, but hardware isn't anything without good software to back it up.
Sony haters, bugger off! if it weren't for Sony there'd be no psp. so stop it. As for believing in this, a video is worth a billion words. If its open source, why didn't they release the source with the press release?? I sure hope its real. I have excellent SOLDERING skills. I can install for people. I have had both my psp's completely stripped apart(for cleaning.)
Yeah, just like the PSX, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox (along with GBA, GBC, and NDS) right 195? Just a coincidence that you chose the one example of a recent failed system and offered absolutely no evidence of it being related to piracy. Additionally, you chose the one that didn't need any hardware modification, while the PSP does, like all the examples I gave. Shut up now.
And yes, the english on this forum is horrible. Here's my favorite so far:
"hey i work at SCEA america and if u guys think they havent known this was coming for a while and havent been preparing for it.....your all sadly mistaken......."
Does SCEA prefer being called Sony Computer Entertainment America america now? Must be a new thing. Do they really hire people who communicate in AOL speak? Did your resume read, "u should really hire me."? And, "your gonna be sorry if u don't."
Here's a tip for the kids...
You're is a contraction. It represents two words. Those two words are "you" and "are". When you say you're, it is like saying you are. That was fun! Now you try.
Your is *not* a contraction. It represents merely one word! Its purpose is to show ownership. As you can not own an "all sadly mistaken", the word you were looking for was "you're".
#101- "This does nothing to allow homebrew on 2.7+ etc. The most you can get is fw1.5 - fw2.7 switchable. All this talk about hybrid firmware, custom firmware etc. are just wishful thinking...."
It has to do more than that to get 1.5 working on PSP's that came with 2.01+ from factory, hardware differences wont allow 1.5 to run on it.
will u be able to use a hard drive with this that would be awesome
This sounds really hot!! I think now i'll get another PSP just for the chip! i'll keep my 1.5 just the way it is,and i'll enjoy both untill i see which one will make me happier!ALSO I would like to add that I hope the coders are listening and try thier magic with the "MOD CHIP" .Maybe we'll get a better gba emu and n64 emu especially since coders can now use the 32mb instead of the 4mb onboard!!!!!:)
I keep coming here and reading all these comments. There are only 4 types of messages/comments:
1.- "First Post" comment
2.- "this rockz" comment
3.- "this dusnt rockz n00b" comment
4.- "I hate you and your Grammar" comment
I guess mine falls into the last category. Heh, What are you going to do about it? If a PSPupdates mod is reading this, consider adding a "ban comment" button (similar to the jump it up system). If a Comment reaches, say, 5 clicks its marked for review. If it reaches 20 clicks its eliminated automatically.
Anyway, I believe the modchip is a step in the right direction so long it works. I will need someone to solder it for me, since my attempt at soldering my ps2 chip failed. Maybe they sold me a fake chip.
199: why would it have to have more than a switchboard? think of it as two different programs loading.
200: a 4-GB HDD already exists from Datel. bigger memory cards are on their way. if you are thinking of a much larger HDD internally, it is impossible considering the confined space.
Guess what? Modchips are legal, they void your warrenty sure but they at legal! Emulators are legal. THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT LEGAL ARE ROMS, ISO COPIES, AND PIRATED SOFTWARE. So all of you who are freaked that they will hunt you down for getting a mod chip, think again, they will get you for your roms and iso ripped games. By the way the Dreamcast died because of Microsofts planned release of the Xbox, they were hurting from the Satarun and when M$ screwed them, the killed it themselves. The sales for the system were good the games killer, but they just didnt have the funds. Deal with it.
What if Sony were to release a firmware update which allowed for homebrew in some manner. Such as porting SDL to the PSP ( or Allegro ), Would it convince you not to buy the Mod Chip?
hope this thing will be fully functional and see the light of day. this is EXACTLY what we've been waiting for, I might even start bying UMD games again.
nocomment
And there is still one question...Will it be able to play 2.0+ ISOs?
Cause it has two flash systems: A Sony one and a custom one
On the Custom you can play ALL Homebrew.
The Sony one wont allow to play Homebrew.(at least its not 2.01-2.6)
So we will still have troubles Playing 2.7 or even 2.6 games on our PSP
Or MPH is working on a new game Loader
In my opinion this isn't the big deal.
See:
- 1.5 users don't really take any advantage of this yet. What's the big difference for them? They can use the web-browser ok. But those could also upgrade to 2.0 (and later downgrade again).
- Installing a 1.5 besides the latest firmware on your PSP won't give you the ability to load latest ISOs. That's because latest firmwares are nearly impossible to decrypt. So you can't play future ISO-Games anyways.
- What do these people understand mentioning custom firmware? Do you know how hard it is to code a firmware . I mean firmware that brings you REAL ADVANTAGES?
- Good thing is returning bricked PSPs to life.
- Bad thing is: Software-Hacks might die. And these were THE REAL ADVANTAGES! Just think: Wouldn't you rather have a firmware hack in possible 3.0 firmware to play ISOs than to risk demaging your PSP with the installation of Chip (seems really hard to install for noobs in my opinion).
- Next bad thing: Downgrading or doing another software hack won't smash your warranty. You can easily upgrade and send your PSP to Sony. Nobody will even notice you did a software hack. With this chip you don't have any warranty left.
- The Chip will end the fabulous careers of some really great coders like fanjita or MPH.
- Possible incompabilities with later firmwares than 2.7 won't reanimate those coders I think.
- Later chips will be better in any case. The only improvement of this chip is: You can use 2 Firmwares seperately.
Think what you want, but I hate this chip. I don't see it as a real breakthrough but as the end of a great PSP era.
I know it's easy to cheer now. But have a second thought on all of this. Maybe you are with me than.
ok guys this is a big break. But sony will not be defeated. Imagine the whole community of psp's all running iso's. NO new games would be made, and sony would stop making new firmwares.

So in summary of all this get a modchip but still support sony once in a while just not to piss them off too much......
bull*****, sony wont go down that easy just because of iso's. There r more ppl in the world that dont know ***** about iso's. For example in my school, i am the only one that knows about homebrew and iso's.
With Custom Firmware I mean the U.P. one 209
You are right no. 211
in my school I know about 56 Peoples with a PSP.
only 10 of them know about Homebrew.
only 5 of the ten know about ISOs
and only 2 of all have 1.5 (I have)
AND WHY THE ***** IS THERE NO EDIT BUTTON, lol
YES!
But they had to block iso&iso loaders some way.
Me les cago en la madre a todos ustedes cantos de hijos de la gran puta. Lo que tienen que hacer es conseguirse un trabajo para poder comprar los juegos.***** you all. I hope you all die right now.
errr...no. 216 what did you say???
Im not gonna die (well I have geography today so maybe youre right)
^^^^
216 Sorry about that just kidding around.
Wow this made me jump for joy. Thank god my mom kicks absolute ass with soldering, so even if there is some soldering involved I am set. Woot $90 is worth it to me than paying some $400 for a 1.5 PSP. YEAH!
Insane PSP has photos and information on the first PSP mod chip. It supposedly allows users to downgrade to previous versions of the PSP firmware, so that it can run homebrew hacks. It also allows for the use of non Sony memory formats and even external USB hard drives.
Can someone confirm the external USB hard Drives? it be soo cool.
No. 217 said:
"well I have geography today so maybe youre right"
LOL
Pendejo de mierda no tienes idea de la puta de tu madre metete el psp por el culo
If i had a mod chip id buy more UMD Games as i will always run 1.5, but am never sure what new games will run on my PSP.
If i had a mod chip that could run latest firmware and 1.5 id buy more UMD game secure with the knowlege they will run on my PSP under at least one of my firmwares.
I bet there will be a massive shortage of these at first.
Where do you think ud be able to buy em from??
well i can solder basic things but not good enough to do a modchip, on a psp. i guess i will have to restart some soldering projects to make my skills better.
but im with a lot of yall, i want to see the modchip in acton and some hard proof of this working before i see a way of installing*for sure i'm buying one but no installing right away*
#'211 and 213 im with you guys on that, at my school i know a lot of kids with a psp but from what i know they don't know about the iso's and the hack/mod/homebrew world, things of this nature.
what the **** happend to a psp keyboard and crap like that?
i think normal usb-b keyboards don't work now because the psp does not support host mode, is this a hardware or firmware stop?
i give props to all the coders out there its not a easy job, but i do think they should work together and kinda work their way up on a custom firmware like microsoft, dos, 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, xp, vista. their os's got better as it went. maybe we can just use the modchip flash writeing and booting to test new firmware development and we get nicer and nicer as it goes
ppl act like sony psp will die with this modchip average doesnt even know what a modchip is if all this is truh not so much ppl will have this
CHA
sony already know!
you are all fools! this is so fake!!!!!11
wont this new chip allow kernal access even on 2.7 firmware?
What you basically do is install another firmware on it. So basically you end up running 1.50 for example on one firmware chip and 2.70 on the other. You switch firmwares by pressing L1 or something at start up.
this is an interestng development.
but i just have to say... many people will kill their psps in the installation process.
we went through 2 psps trying to instal the psp2tv over at GameSpot. though i'm sure this will not require soldering and only ribbon replacements... the inside of the psp is very tight and presice. trying to place a daughter card in there though possible if engineered right... wont be easy and will create complications. trust me. i can almost hear all the frustrated crying idiots that will break their psps.
Any one know if this mod chip will let me play Region 1 and 2 UMD's on my Region 3 PSP? It would be good if the PSP was a multiregion UMD player!
w00t, il be sure to be a person getting one. And also, I wonder if someone would try to build a house made up of psp bricks... that would pwn!
228 ur so cute trying to get people's attention...
This seems like an amazing and wonderful thing to have. the ability to run the latest games, and yet still have all the classic homebrew? Awesome, is what most people say. Yet consider the cost of the PSP itself, $250, and then the price of this $90. It seems pretty steep, even for something so convenient as having multiple firmwares.
I myself scraped together the last dredges of my money to afford my PSP, and any subsequent games (GTA was worth it) and now I will have to spend $90 bucks to do homebrew? I think not. This PSP lover is willing to wait until the price drops or they have a sale or something like that.
Of course, there is the slightest hope that they purposely claimed the price is higher than it really is, so when they come out saying "It's now only $75!" people will buy it all the more. I will pray for the second.
I am SOOOOO cancelling my preorder for the PS3 of AUD$53.75 for this
Finally!!! Full homebrew for my 2.50 psp for sure. But is it possible that furtre sony upgrades will check if the modchip is there and block access to it during the upgrade???
I'm not sure but it seems possible, but, finally, pmp mod here I come.
Does anybody know the website for U.P ???
>Of course, there is the slightest hope that they purposely claimed the price is higher than it really is, so when they come out saying "It's now only $75!" people will buy it all the more. I will pray for the second.
Unfortuantely, its unlikely to come down in price until the modchip gets copied by another manufacturer. That's generally how its been with all the other console scenes.
i am really happy
because i will pay nothing for sony
but this chip is really that good ?
i doubt
nocomment
it looks great! Although im not willing to void my warranty, and risk braking my psp in the hope of homebrew. Maybe if a small external one came out then id buy it...
has anyone thought maybe sony are behind this mod chip maybe they have used a third party to sell it so no one will ever know it came from them they want to boost sales they know they cant keep blocking our firmwares cause we keep hacking them again so they have allowed this 3rd party to make this mod chip and they can see its gonna boost sales for them.does this mean sony has finaly given in to homebrew, or does this mean for sony yet more to do.
I've got a 2.6 psp and although it can run most homebrew via eloader, this woud be awsome! Hopefully its legit but if it isn't
what have we got to lose? nothing really, just a bit of dissapointment. Unless you're stupid enough to upgrade to 2.7 before it comes out (if it does).
Yay
This is wacker than my uncle George
if i where sony, i would freaking abolish this psp project and let u sckers play ur own homebrew.
disgrace to the gaming world...
very ashame to see such flamming on sony, they made the psp and deserve the credit and u guys are backstabbing them for those hardwork.. sad fark sad..
Erm, wouldnt you think they would release some sort of software to do that, rather than making a modchip?
Sweet, there really isnt a price below £200 that is too expensive for this baby. X_X
To everybody who want to know the company behind this, I saw on engadget it is Maxconsole.
That isnt Sony's policy, give up and do something that is against theirs principle.
Ofcourse, if they did that, dont think they had lost any receipts.
hmm...
whats will this mod chip do?
allow you to run isoS on latest firmware??
or what?
allows you to run custom made firmware?
which will allow to run divx file...other songs file...pdf file..blabla ?
what will this thing do??
Just a few things:
1) There is no conspiracy of Sony deliberately generating this story to get people to upgrade
2) Sony are not making this mod chip, and are not supporting it
3) Sony can come and shout at PSP Updates all they want, they have no reason to provide Sony with any information about the modchip
4) This will probably lead to an increase in UMD sales, because now people can actually play the latest games
5) The ISO fear is unfounded - as many people have said, there are very few people who own PSPs and know about homebrew, even less that know about ISOs
6) This isn't going to be mass-market, only people who actually know what they're doing will be able to install the chip correctly - saying you don't have a soldering iron or have never soldered before means you screwed
>To everybody who want to know the company behind this, I saw on engadget it is Maxconsole.
It's not Maxconsole. It's just they are closer to the scene that they get firsthand information.
Let there be no doubt, I think this rox! Hopefully this product will deliver what it promises.

i think sony will decrypt there next software vershion v3.0 ie let you run unasighned apps homebrew this will totaly destroy the upp comming mod chip and sony will get there own back cause no one will buy the mod chip people can happily play homebrew and have the latest software vershion come on sony hope you are listening here this is your only hope give us homebrew dont let others hack your hardware to do it you give it to us direct and we will buy your games and support you deal?
que maravilla... :-D ¡ya era hora!
if you agrea to comment 257 please post your comments here so someone from sony can see that you will support them if they give us homebrew cause i am in long live sony.
Everyone has to shout their *****ing mouths of dont they... now sony will go looking at this forum seeing all the info they need for this chip then BAM they'll create UMDs that have to run on 3.00 FW and they'll make psps have a block to not upgrade chipped psps to 3.00
You must not have read any of the information or posts about this then if you think there is no advantage for 1.5 firmware owners. There is a HUGE advantage for us 1.5 guys. Yes, we get to use the web browser now, as you mentioned, along with all the other things that firmware 2.7 offers (flash support, AVC video codec, better ATRAC-3 support, WMA support, WPA networking encryption, ability to play every official game released, etc.) Since this chip essentially allows you to dual-boot, you can keep your PSP firmware updated to the latest release to play all of the official games and use all the fancy new software and hardware included. In addition to that, you can keep your mod-chip firmware at 1.5 or some other custom firmware, if any are made, so you can continue to use all of the same homebrew, emulators, and ISO loaders that you used before you installed the chip. The whole idea is to give you the best of both worlds. If you think that playing the latest games and using the new features of the new firmwares is not worthwhile or desireable, then that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I think most will disagree with you.
Your are speaking like 10-11 yo idiots!
Best turns for SONY are:
1. Abandon PSP manufacturing
2. Rise PSP price to actual and include some profit
Will you be happy? Which turn do you prefer? OpenSource PSP?
I dont think so..
Thankz guys, you might officially of stopped firmware updates from now on, seen as thouh sony can't stop this hack, and the only reason why they make new firmware eboots is to stop hacks and add some new features, you might of STOPPED FIRMWARE UPGRADES FOREVER.
So be happy with yourselfs ... *rolls eyes*
a lot of people seem to be righting off ditlew n fanjita now for no reason, they have done a lot for the scene and the scene wouldnt be where it is is without them and who know they might release a moded firmware that kicks ass
but i think it is too expensive.i hope it will be only $30
haha
Ole ole ole, cholo Simeone!
no suprize to anyone who really folows the scene:)
in your face to all the doubters from the previous artical (losers)
all mod chip users for any system make up a xtremly small minority of users so anyone makeing claims of umds not selling or psp being ruined by this are totaly retarded and need to go to sony.com. In reality now that sony cant persicute this very small comunity and keep them from buying new games because of nazi updates they will sell more games. chips didnt bring down the main consoles and we could actualy burn those disks.
Best of all this is great news for the PS3 now im certain we will see a chip for it and not be controled by "updates"
I think it would be in the best interest of Sony to allow upgrades to 3.0 and beyond firmware with this chip. If they don't then they are giving up the sales of the latest games to this crowd and basically saying "please steal our games".
The only reason I haven't purchased Katamari and Street fighter for PSP is because of the firmware requirments on them.
I would buy them now, thanks to this chip.
The best possible thing would be to allow unsigned code to run on 3.0 baring any ISO loading applcations.
no matter what, I wouldn not install this chip BEFORE 3.0 comes out. I'd sooner buy a second PSP.
it's just crap and faaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaake!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
wohoooooohooh
this kicks ass and the only thing im wandering about is how much it coast
Great! €75, that's less than the price of 2 games! And an XB360 (XBox360) game is about €70 here....
Homebrew for all!
Everyone is forgetting one thing. Once the Mod Chip is released, sony can easily come out with an update that won't make the chip work anymore by disabling it, or they can come out with a fw update that won't let you update if you have the chip installed. remember when mod chips first started coming out for PS2, and you couldn't play games online because your system had a mod chip in it? sony can find a way around the chip and make it either useless or make it to where you can't progress the fw of your psp any further.
i think sony will decrypt there next software vershion v3.0 ie let you run unasighned apps homebrew this will totaly destroy the upp comming mod chip and sony will get there own back cause no one will buy the mod chip people can happily play homebrew and have the latest software vershion come on sony hope you are listening here this is your only hope give us homebrew dont let others hack your hardware to do it you give it to us direct and we will buy your games and support you deal?
I LIKE FEET LET ME SEE UR FEET
There has been so many fake news reports in the Psp scene as well as pictures / videos of these fake developments. Just because it has been reported as real it does not mean that it even exists. I will not believe it until I see it either. If this Modchip is real then I will start to buy UMD games again, if not then I will just stay with homebrew, particularly emulation which is my main interest. If Sony want to continue forcing firmware updates with new UMD's then I simply won't buy any. I had no intention of purchasing a Psp for emulation but once I discovered it, I realised how great it was and this is why I will never lose it.
I think this Modchip should be considered fake until proven otherwise. If it is proved fake, just look at how much wasted energy, posts, news and discussion there would have been. Have we not learnt anything from the previous fakes in the Psp scene?
http://www.consolemoduk.co.uk/
Hey.... Let's think its like a business.
-If We have modchip....Sony can sell more PSP & Mem.
-If We have modchip....It would do notthing about the
company who build the game bcause some ppl might
want the UMDs for their collection.
-If We havo no modchip....PSP would die soon or later
bcause of NDSL is growing market.
(Do u know NDSL can play Roms ?)
I'm in agreement with your sentiments regarding sony allowing homebrew to run on F/W 3.0.
In a perfect work they would.
But in reality THEY WON'T. NOT A CHANCE.
If sony can create a patch to disable the modchip, then the value of PSP's F/W
The smartest thing to do is release it AFTER the official ps1 emulator comes out so you could have homebrew on the latest version AND the modchip.
well, i think the people who sell this, can put it togeter as wel, so i think it will be like 90€ everything complete
First time viewing the article, and this is what I see. Actually thought it was a joke from the QJ staff, but I saw it change to 1339 when I clicked Comments.

If this modchip works , THANKS to undiluted platinium team
whats with all this talk of needing the latest isos? having the latest firmware on one flash will allow the use of the latest UMD games, and then having 1.5 on the UP flash will allow all homebrew. PROBLEM SOLVED. iso's are illegal, and they aren't as optimized as the official UMD neway.
i have never opered my psp, will it be easy to put this in it?
does it matter if your psp is american european or japanian(WTF IS JAPANIAN!?!?!?!?)?
in fact there's a new website (http://ng-gaming.com) about next gen gaming, my friend works there and said they would have these mods available once they are out.
i'm getting one there, they said they are also opening a gaming hardware store on the site later and putting for free the E3 high quality conferences
well, good luck sony
This is great and all for people that know how to install things and solder wires but for the average person you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL THIS. People will need to install this for you.
Sony will probably make a patch or something you need to connect to the PSP in order to use newer firmwares.
that said that when the chip comes out sony will make a new update well I don'yt think the chip is gonna be release , I got information ( can't tell where ) that sony got th news from many loyal fans who reported it to sony and sony could take action if they want , probably before it's realeased , I knew there was gonna be *****ing idiots who would go and tell sony the news.
Yes , for all you people who din't know a modchip is illegal cause no hardware can be done to be used directly with another hardware from another company can be made unless permission is given by that company , in other words I duobt sony gave permission to this people to develop a modchip that interferes with the psp.
www.ng-gaming.com
does this mean we get homebrew on 2.7
A modchip may be illegal in countries where patents are honored. But look at a country like China where patents are loosely enforced and you have the means for manufacturing them.
Even the sale of the modchips is feasible if done in a country where there aren't strict standards. You may live in a Western country like U.S., Canada, Britian, etc....but not every sale takes place in the Western World. Someone could easily sell this on the net in a foreign country and it could be looked at as just another piece of electronic equipment by customs.
you guys su(k so badly that you are annoying...

Ok, to all of you calling Fanjita... THE MOD CHIP doesnt compete with Fanjitas and ANY FANJITA's out there work!
Also this is NOT A FAKE because ppl already checked their sources!
This WILL deteriorate game quality, but it will also boost PSP production so sony will be fine, but the games wont be!
Sony WILL probably release a firmware against the modchip, so dont get your hopes that the future is bright and yellow.
It IS illegal to buy/own that chip.
This chip ISNT going to be an easy matter to install.
and finally STOP BEING OBNOXIOUS!!!!
nocomment
I just CAME ALL OVER MY SCREEN.
i think this announcement just made my ***** move!!!! hahahahhaa
the "co-creator" of the mod said that there will be functionability for 5-10gb mods included
i dunno about you guys, but if i have a custom firmware on my psp that plays both homebrew (pending the hopefully functionalable release of n64) as well as isos, i would totally love to have that much memory
anyone notice that the pic provided is a flipped pic. it says it installs over the battery case, but the pic is showing the other side of the psp, the side the IR is on. just something i noticed
#305--If you had actually, and comprehended, what was written, it said the the FPC CABLE end to which the USB connector board attaches is routed into the battery compartment and sits above the battery.
Learn comprehension before you naysay.
a random thought, what if sony puts some sort of reader on the umd's that will detect hardware adds/changes like adding a modchip? so if you have a modchip installed then the umd will detect it and not run??????????????
then you mod the mod and add a cut off switch...
2.01+ PSP owners get your psp's out of the dust and start soldering!!!!

*IMPORTANT PLEASE LISTEN* IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL AND USE THIS MOD CHIP YOU MUST NOT UPDATE UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE ANYMORE SONY HAVE STARTED WORK ON BLOCKING THIS MOD CHIP. IN THE NEXT FIRWARE UPDATE THEY R GOING TO BLOCK THIS MOD CHIP BY REWRITEING THE ENTIRE PSPS CODING ON THE PSP SO THAT YOU CANT INSTALL THE NEW MOD CHIP I REPEAT *DO NOT UPDATE YOUR FIREWARE ANYMORE* YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
the price tag is a tag too big for my liking, £50? that is a lot!
Although it is an amazing step in psp hacking, im not going to install this on my white 2.6 psp, but im going to buy a cheap-o one off ebay. (buy screen cracked ones, and get a cheap replacement screen)
YAY...
PSPUPDATES is going to be EVEN MORE popular!!
and with the ingenious mod chip...the PSP and SONY listen to US! no us listening to them
also...
90$ is a lot of money...but think of the endless possibilities!
Anyways...I dont know how to install it...and i am scared to break my PSP...is their a manual...i am young...so ya....you know...14....
still...
a few cut lawns and that baby is mine!
How Much Will It Cost?!?
if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it....
It appears to be official, as stores have begun selling it.

once i round up 90 bucks i'm going to update to 2.7 and buy this sukka!
I just ordered mine. now i can unbrick people's psp's and charge them for it! wootzers
We here at Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan want to thank everyone who disassembled our console and worked for free to find a way to actually hack the Playstation Portable. We thought that we did our best with our firmware updates, but we were wrong. Thank you for solving the biggest puzzle of all; can the the Playstation Portable be hacked? You answered back with a firm yes, now its our turn. Prepare for BIOS checks and hardware profile checks upon startup! You lose.
-Hyouri Himoshi SCEJ
i guess that answers anyone doubts.. we're screwed now. I love how these hackers and modders like to spill the beanz early right before something new comes out fr the psp. now sony is gonna change firmware 3.0 and check fot the mod.. idiots.. no gps or camera for the modders.. poo.
LOL OMG ITS FROM SONY!! XD XD XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA
seriously, u buying this crap????

How do you like it when i type like THIS,
YOU need to stop acting like you KNOW what your talking about...
Is a XBOX modchip illegal? NO! how about ps2? NO!
It has been proven in court. it is the intent of running pirated software that is illegal.
Check your facts smartass!

YEAH!!! I preorder this mofo, can't wait
How much $ do you want for it???
The place I preordered it from was like $102 shipped

With this psmonkey could probably make a better Monkey64
Do you think there'll be a problem with asterix and other brands faceplates? I want to buy one but... I know its similar but not exactly the same.. do you think there will be any problem with fitting?
sony had its chance to make money and thats exactly what they did with overpriced games for *****ty experience. Yup, the PS2 is better in all ways and is helluva lot cheaper than the PSP. So i say yea, lets stick it to them greedy a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s!!! Now watch how BETTER games come out for a REASONABLE price!!!
PS: UMD movies sucked, are sucking and will continue to suck! That was one dumbass move by Sony! Me shell out double cash for a UMD when i can get DVD? You must tihink im crazy@!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!
F--- YOU THEN!
I was talking to some annoying people that continue being annoying in an ANNOYING way!

lol rip off.. i got mine for cheaper
i agree with some ppl here that say that new games WILL continue coming up.men get serious.u think that every1 will know abt that chip?there r noobs u know!!!!!
and in some specifient countries ppl won't even see or hear anythg abt that chip.don't worry dudes!!!!!!!!!! !!
lol a new era for the psp.I LOVE IT!!!!!
LLLLLLLOOOOOOOL LLLLLLLLL.ANY INFO ABT PRICE?
ok
does anyone believe that crap 319 posted? i bet its some loser begging for attention... if you want attention, you have two choices: Be the first to jump off a spaceship, or go convince Sony to stop making security updates in their firmwares. Either way you'll be gettin plenty of attention
Yeah, spaceship would probablyu easier then convincing sony to accept homebrew....
Anyways, I want this, but it looks too pricey. Now I can see how people think sony would be behind this...
THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Evolution-X FOR THE PSP NOW!
Ok calling all psp hackers is it possible to make a application to run on firmware 2.70 that will decertify the psp like remove the security certs.This has to be possible this will alow you to run uncertified app ie homebrew irm sure if all the top hackers got together they can create such a app that removes the security checking and somehow inject it into the v2.70 firmware can a top hacker confirm this for me thats.The hacker that hacks.
at the forums www.ng-gaming.com said they will be selling some of those once they are out! Swwweet
Im gonna buy my friends bricked psp lol, he said i could have it for $40 .. then put in the mod chip, and i got a lot of fun
Does this Undiluted Platinum thing decrease the battery life?
Well, i think i would DEFENENTLY buy one anyways!
Those who think the next psp firmware will contain the ability to run homebrew apps must really have had too many accidents involving thier head.
If they did do this then the point of developers having to buy the sdk thrown out the window. Considering the sdk is worth quite a bit of money, and that sony make cuts from software sales means that homebrew will never be considered for a firmware update.
On another point i'm quite happy about this mod (if it is real), I guess this would also open doors to firmware modding aswell as a platform for homebrew devs to focus on, rather then stuff for 1.5s and another for 2.0+ and whatever.
Hyouri Himoshi....noway this is not japanese name.
this doesn't exit.
bull *****.
To all of those who doubt our abilities, make note - we will not allow this to continue any longer. Your firmware "hacks" and hardware mods will be useless with our next firmware update.
Hyouri Himoshi - SCEJ
it was 102 shipped, $89 +$13 shipping = $102, And I could seriously care less if it's 10$ cheaper somewhere else
Since Any psp fitted with UP can play homebrew and or ISOs PSP will sell more .Games will be virtualy FREE .If SONY loses money on sales of umds they will make up for it in psps sales .Oh i cant wait to get this .My bricked psp will live again and live freely .Does any one know when this will be out .I hope i can get one of these chips shipped to india.Huge psp market here.
Had anyone tested it out
that's great! fantastic!
What does it do??
sony end!!
If this modchip can flash PSP's firm,it great.I mean Flash to PSP/not modchip flash.
'cause my psp is dead for virus.
I hope this can flash both(PSPand inside of MODCHIP).
anyone know how about it?
This is so cool!!!!!!!!!
no one answered my question - will it work depending on regions???
never mind All PSP hardware versions/regions supported

Damn people claiming fake... It's like claiming the sky is red. My guess is that they're just a bunch of attention whores.
well if you brick your psp and back it up using ur second nand memory (mod chip) to re-wite the bricked portion of ur psp, then cant you just purposely brick ur 2.6 or 2.71 and then wipe the bricked memory and write a 1.5 flash? if so then a lot of ppl would have 1.5's and just put the 2.71< fw on the mod chip?
and the sales for anything psp would skyrocket if this isnt erraticated in the 3.0 fw
just a thought
People claiming sony will introduce some form of modchip detection should do their homework... Detection of a modchip requires the bootup of sony firmware and what happens instead? your modchip boots up, meaning it is impossible to perform such a scan, without sony having to change the hardware of the psp...
I know I won't be using ISOs as i dont have a big enough memory stick I want to have 1.5 fw so i can play smashgp :)
Sorry to burst your bubble there dude, but if you're thinking the Smashgp homebrew plays and looks like Smash Bros. Meele for the game cube, you are so very much in dreamland. The truth is, It really isn't all that great. In fact, it sucks after playing it for 10 minutes, and even with all those caracters available for it (I bet you're one of those people who went "OMGWTFBTWI'dliketosmackyou rmominthebootyR OFLMAOthisPWNSH XZOR!!!!!!") it really ain't all that and a bag of chips. Besides, it's been hurting for an update for almost a year now...and it's not even multiplayer yet. Sorry to spoil your dreams kid, but a 1.50 PSP is worth much more than just for playing Smashgp. :(
Now the up chip is coming out sony are f*cked...
Once this chip comes out sony are gonna lose so much money due to ISO's.
I need a way to save up for a UP chip lol...
Ill have to tell my mum if you buy this you'll never have to buy me another game lol!
I cant believe dat *****...
Biaaaaaatch ...
impossible... sony will loose so much mony inthe next months ! Motha*****as go playin cheeper!!!
Sony losing money is a good thing? I'm surprised as hell that Sony is still bothering with the PSP knowing that there are a bunch of people so determined to ***** them over with it. If this thing is widespread...consider the system COOKED only with any future games they have planned for the PSP. You're going to complain about the lack of games too aren't you?
Truly truly great news, I've been waiting on this to, now I can finally get a psp, I'm glad it was worth the wait.
The new psp's are protected by sony! you cant install a modchip in the new type of systems. ask to check the psp type before you buy. heres a link to the information to the psp types... http://www.psp-hacks.com/images/ta82spot1.jpg
If the part has no text it is compatable with the modchip. If it does have text the modchip will be blocked.
