@PSX_ISO , off-topic but did the serial on the mobo (sticker located on Memory card module, or shielding) match the one at the back of the system ? Somehow serials were mismatched on early models it seems..

A fan kills the look :P What I do is use a 700x power supply in my 100x (500x to 900x series power supplies are ok) as it seems to produce much less heat than the original. The catch is you have to mod the cable. pinout.png wire.png As you can see the 100x needs one extra GND and one extra 3.5V vers...

What does not work with SetRegion exactly ?
You can try Patch-It as well, does the same as SetRegion, but maybe works better for you.

Excellent Orion_, thank you very much for this great soft!

I received the Totalconsole laser this week-end and fitted it today, finally! Of course I checked it versus a genuine KSM440BAM (lifted off a PSone) and now believe it's definitely genuine too. The markings are exactly the same, everywhere (including the sled motor board), the plastic parts definite...

About a month, for an item in stock, you must be joking.
I wished they replied to emails to at least explain what's going on.

So a bit of a warning, I ordered 1 a week ago and while they marked it as shipped, the package still hasn't been handed over to USPS..
My friend in Finland ordered 2 weeks ago and has the same tracking indication (USPS Awaiting Item) as of this day, too.
Buyer beware..

One other thing to do is look at the little PCB on the sled motor and see if the markings differ from the Sony ones.

Good idea, Apsley could you give it one last check? ^^;

Thank you very much Apsley, I see a very small difference in the gray plastic part, the mold "circles" appear fainter. So does the printing on the blue sticker, hmm.. I wonder what the experts TriMesh and Shadow think about those close up shots 8-) rama3, that's what the site claims but how can you ...

This is great news Apsley, by all means please do!

Thanks for your inputs. I'm dubious as well TriMesh.. ^^;
The product can be seen better in this video:

I'm trying the difference game with a known genuine KSM-440BAM but so far no obvious difference..

Hi, I'm wondering if someone already bought a KSM-440BAM laser assembly from this website: http://www.totalconsole.com/KSM-440BAM-Laser-Lens-Drive-For-Sony-PS1-PlayStation-1-PSOne-PS-One--BRAND-NEW_p_370.html They claim they are brand new AND original from Sony, not cheap knockoffs. I really could u...

If you change the Start - End values, an FMV is playing!

How did you solve this issue, by replacing the spindle?

The other difference is that the SCPH-xxx3 models use the same 7.5IRE black level that NTSC:U/C consoles do, rather than the 0IRE level used in Japan. I never understood the impact of the different IRE levels when it comes to consoles. For instance if a JPN system and US system were connected to th...

Oh, ok, I thought these had 'Dual Shock' written on the back label, not 'Analog Controller'.

Strange, I own a Sony Analog Controller SCPH-1200, rev A (as written on the backlabel), made in japan, and if anything, I feel it's actually more reactive (less lag) than any other PSX pad i've tested, including the DualShock.

I've never thought about that, but it makes sense... if the composite encoding/decoding takes some extra time, then composite picture would be moved towards right, or the other way around: RGB picture would be moved towards left? So that's why! I've always wondered why the slight difference. Yes yo...

The slight horizontal position shift when using RGB versus composite is completely normal and happens with all consoles, don't worry about it.

Currently, I just don't have time to work on such a tool as my free time is prioritized for art or continuing development of my very own 3D engine for the PSX especially when I have a full-time job now so I don't have much free time as I used to. I've been considering making such a tool to supplant...
