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...

They are indeed indestructible and rather hard to open cleanly, but it's totally doable.
Since I'll never use composite video, I thought I might as well modify the cable rather than the system..

If anyone's interested, I modified the original Sony PS1 RGB Cable (EURO-AV as they call it), to replace Composite by Luma-Sync. Here's what it looks like. It's pretty hard to open so take your time!

I don't have plans to make a GUI version of MKPSXISO at the moment as it is not really important considering how simple putting together a build script using the included example script as a base is a piece of cake. I beg to differ, while it's clearly not hard putting together a script, a GUI would...

hmm yes, where are you taking C-sync from, OP?

My hunt for this chip(mobo) is over, thanks to a special member of this community for getting back to me on this!
So please close this thread as I'm not looking for one anymore, thank you.

Hey all, I'm looking to purchase a working or dead (doesn't matter) SCPH-1000 JPN motherboard. The reason is I wish to salvage the JPN BIOS chip v1.0 (first BIOS revision released to market). If you have such a motherboard, or even better the JPN BIOS chip v1.0 alone, please reply here or contact by...
