Psp Mod Chip!

[lippy]

Just came across this on digg. Mod chip

If it turns out to be true bad news for gp2x (i think).

 

[nickspoon]

Nah, there won't be a huge amount of people modding their PSPs, and everyone who wants a GP2X will no doubt still get one.

That looks like a lot of PCB for what is basically a flash switcher.

/me sceptical.

 

[grahf]

I can see that costing much more that it should. That said, the PSP guys needed it. Too bad for sony it will also increase piracy.

 

[lintsniffer]

yeah, you kind of feel sorry for the PSP scene for all they have to put up with

costs $90

new pic of it installed ^^


Personally I will beleive it when I see it working in a video / a installation video / Installation diagrams... All their is is 2 pics and some details which isnt hard evidence of its existance and its got everyone running around in excitement... Plus is it just me or is their no wires running from that chip??

And for $90, I would rather put another $90 towards it and keep my 1.5 psp and Buy another PSP to run the latest firmware on, Saves the risk of killing my 1.5 and the hassle of installing it!!!

 

[lintsniffer]

$90?
So it costs over $300 for a gp2x with a crappy screen and better SNES emulation.

Don't forget the expensive proprietary flash memory cards!

= 2x expensive as SD, at least.

...Which has hundreds of commercial games, wifi, a screen that is quite good except for emus and soon Playstation Emulation fullspeed with sound.

You know, it wasn´t mde for emulation, and those who will buy the chip will probably do it just for the piracy, not the homebrew.

With this ModChip, the psp will have 1 hour battery

I bet u when it's launched, sony will make u update ur PSP so it dusent work. They're all about the money, thats why i luv Nintendo and the GP2X.

...Which has hundreds of commercial games,

out of which about 10 are actually worth playing....

 

[PSyMastR]

...Which has hundreds of commercial games,

There are 100 games for the PSP?

 

[lintsniffer]

I'm not exaggerating, there are zero commercial games I would buy if I somehow got a PSP.

Ok, still more than the GP2X.

But actually my point was that people will buy this chip to play PSP games for free. Even if they´re all shitty (god knows that most of ´em are) they are not available on the GP2X.

I'm not exaggerating, there are zero commercial games I would buy if I somehow got a PSP.

I think you would ...

Mercury is a Great game, GTA LCS another great game, Toca Race Driver 2, Wipeout Pure, Persuit Force, Lemmings and Worms are all great games plus many more

Dont forget Dark Mirror. I just finished it, and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it

Read the FAQ, its great. This person obviously doesn't speak english well at all lol.

Q: What does "EASY to Install !!" mean ?

A: i say EASY to Install !!
because i found a Method to solderwires onto the tiny traces!!
you just need a "10X Magnifying glass" and a "incisive" Soldering Iron
that Easy than wire the "COPPER ENAMEL WIRE" to PCB
so it is "EASY to Install !!"

How is the average person going to use a 10x zoom while soddering hairthin wires lol.
