Recently you have been hearing about work being done on getting out an easy to install modchip, that would allow you to run multiple firmware versions on the same PSP, and probably do many more things. Such modchip has yet to be released though, and PSP fanboys are growing anxious. As a solution to this problem, they made their own! Here we have four successful attempts to run multiple firmware versions on the same PSP. Now they aren't as pretty as the modchip that will be eventually released, but these bad boys still work, and also gave a sense of accomplishment.

Nems and Booster(and friends) look best lol, so these all do basically as the UP modchip supposedly does?

Next time avoid using a butane soldering iron. Warping chips is never a good thing. :p

 » da*****!

are these for real?? as there isn't a psp in the picture,

first 1 looks like all the wires are touching,

2nd one looks pretty tidy tho,

3rd one requires you to lug a pc round with you,

and the last one just looks like some wires and a lot of sellotape strapped to a circuit board,

 » ookm is deffo real

Ookm has been doing this firmware thing for months, deffo real, loads of pics, loads of screenies of various diff. firmware version PSPs with 'new' chips, plenty of discussion check out mph's website for more details :)

Nems looks worst of the lot, tip: don't mod PSPs in the middle of a bout of influenza if u want to avoid goo on ur PSP.

These guys indeed have skills. And they keeping the PSP homebrew scene updated with photos and such. Hopefully they come in competition with the UP mod chip.

Am I the only one grabbed their psp when they saw these photos. Kinda like seeing a dead dog and looking to see if your dog was ok haha. Scary stuff but definatly worth the work. Good job guys.

 » where to solder for ps2 controller?

is there anyone who has figured out the soldering points to connect a ps2 controller? obviously it's possible since the psp2tv adapter adds dual shock support, but i haven't heard any mentions of it other than that

:(

D /- M N.... Now dat's hot, bringin' some competition to da game. Maybe the Undiluted Platinum will have a drop in price VERY soon to keep up with the competition...

 » is it me....

is it me or does no.2 done by ryoko_no_usagi look a lot like the UP chip shown in the diagrams for installation, or somewhat like a chunk of the USA?

   by eggwonder - 2006-06-23

 » lol

hahaha this is awesome! i mite end up letting them mod my psp instead of the up! and I really hope the chip drop in price! cmon, thats just way too much lol, but i guess they do deserve it, since they works so hard, and hey, the cheaper the modchips are, the more ppl gets it...
