I was bored so I opened up a PSone I bought on ebay a long time ago. its still works. But the motherboard has some weird jumper connections on it. Any one have any idea what they are for?






I can post more pictures if need.

Modchip. Allows you to boot CD-R's that your computer can burn.

But where is the chip? Its just jumping different point on the board. The only added chip i found is a voltage regulator.

Is the chip not wrapped in the tape on the left?
(Usually the the pins are flattened out like a squashed bug)

oh shoot there is a chip in there. I thought it was just a wire wrap

[sickle]

okay, put it's clothes back on now...
Also, congrats on the pre-chipped system

so it should run any cd with a game iso burned to it? I guess ill have to test it to see if it still works cause i feel like i had to do the swap trick to play back ups before......but maybe i was just doing it with out needing to.

It looks like you have a stealth chip (judging by the amount of wires coming out of it) so it should play pretty much any game you throw at it, burned or imported. Although if you try and play an import that outputs a video signal that's different than what your tv can handle (mainly if you have an older CRT or one of the early flatscreens) (NTSC when you tv is PAL or vice versa) it won't display correctly, but you can use a boot disc or just patch your iso to the right video mode and reburn to get around that...
