Hi, guys.
I just bought ps scph-9000 directly from Japan, and install chip mmc3 in it, but due of cuted Japanese bios it boot only Japanese backups.. Is it possible to use some bootcd to load another region games?

You need to either patch the images, swap the BIOS ROM or use CAETLA.
Development Console: SCPH-5502 with 8MB RAM, MM3 Modchip, PAL 60 Colour Modification (for NTSC), PSIO Switch Board, DB-9 breakout headers for both RGB and Serial output and an Xplorer with CAETLA 0.34.
PlayStation Development PC: Windows 98 SE, Pentium 3 at 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM, DTL-H2000, DTL-H2010, DTL-H201A, DTL-S2020 (with 4GB SCSI-2 HDD), 21" Sony G420, CD-R burner, 3.25" and 5.25" Floppy Diskette Drives, ZIP 100 Diskette Drive and an IBM Model M keyboard.

Yes, you can use a 1002 BIOS on a 9000. I hope you have good soldering skill though.
I reckon you're rather off buying a new laser for the 1002 and putting the MM3 in that instead of the 9000.
