First PSP Modchip announced! This is REAL! Works on all Firmware Versions!

Ok guys, don't let me burst this bubble of joy. I just want to state a few things here, after doing some research on the "PSP ModChip".

- After looking at several websites and forums about the topic, it is very arguable that this is possibly (and I do stress the word possibly) fake.

Few reasons for that being:

Photoshop reveals that if you zoom in (quite a bit) on one of the chips, there is actually a "blotched" out portion of the chip. [/i](You do have to look closely)[/i]



- Manufacturer? URL? Any info from the actual developers? None.

Yes, I am well aware that Actel does sell blank, flashable chips to manufacturers for many numerous uses, but, wouldn't there be an actual label on the chip itself?



(The picture is rather blurry, but, zooming in on the original image didn't turn out to be as clear as I had wanted it to.)

Kinda fishy; from what I understand, chips must have some sort of identification on them. This one clearly does not. BUT, this does not mean that I am bashing the concept of a mod-chip for the PSP. Please, do not get me wrong. If this is an actual true development, then major props to whomever created it. I am just simply showing some extra information that I had dug up on the subject.

Bottom line is: Is it true? Is it fake? I myself am actually leaning towards fake. I am not 100% sure if it is real or not.

 

The othet thing is. There have been like two other mod-chips. Yet none of them progressed after the producer got his time to shine...

 

freaking cool news mother juckers

 

u dont want a modchip??

 

Tut Tut to all you People who said us 2.7'ers were all screwed

Na Na Na Na

=)

 

We'll wait and see.

 

Look at that. Chip is announced by several legitimate sites that have announced xbox, ps2, and gamecube chips for years (all of which turned out to be true) and you immediatly go fishing for proof that its fake. I'll still be laughing when i switching between 2.7 and 1.5 firmware or better!, some kind of custom firmware.

Glass half full on this one kiddies

 

wuts the point of "it's FAKE!" "it's real" arguments?
only time will tell =D

 

ps2nfo have said that its 100 percent real

we have always said check the trusted sites, and they are all backing up and validifying this chip. I guess we'll see. Its not triple bs fault he's doubting it. There were rumours of chips before.
But I must say that I think I am going to back this one. I was just reading up on it, and it may very well be legit.

 

Hey now, I'm not exactly saying, "This is fake, do not believe it!" so please, do not go on bashing me about it. I just posted a few things that I have researched about the chip. If it is real, then that's awesome; I will be looking forward to purchasing it. If it is fake, then, I don't want to be the one to say, "I told you so." =P

Don't jump too quick on the gun to flame my research; it's not what I was implying.

 

I think you are overreacting. No one flamed at all. Some ppl just said that they didn't believe it. And everyone is entitled to their opinion.
So just relax.

 

Well it did say custom firmware, so obviously, you'd want to have 1.5 homebrew compatibility and 2.7 together.... And maybe you might be able to add things such as Note Pad, Paint, etc

 

THIS IS A USELESS RUMOUR WE ALL KNOW THAT ALL THE HACKERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HACKE THE FIRMWARES EXCEPT FOT THE 1.00 1.50 AND 2.00
THE BIGGEST OF ALL FANJITA HAS ALSO NOT BEEN ABLE TO BREAK INTO THE PSP'S FIRMWARE AND FLASK ON ANYTHINK HIGHER THAN 2.00.

SO HOW THE HELL HAVE ALL THIS MODCHIP TEAM BEEN ABLE TO GET THE MODCHIP TO FLASH THE PSP WITH ANY FIRMWARE ON ANY FIRMWARE PSP.

MOREOVER WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SPACE IN THE PSP TO FIT A MODCHIP

SO I HOPE U ALL UNDERSTAND AND MAKE UP ALL OF UR MINDS THAT THERE IS NO MODCHIP ATLIST ON eBAY.

SPARSH

 

Sparsh ur very defeatest arent you. it doesnt have 2 fit it replaces ur flash memory. i dont think they need 2 hack the firmwares i beleve it just allows for dual booting. it wouldnt be on ebay if its not bein sold yet its only just been announced as such. i think u should just wait and see. i have high hopes 2 b honest

 

If it does come out, I hope someone makes a custom firmware alowing external harddrives to work with homebrew which was my initial idea but never came to effect

 

People have been talking about ways to do that for months, it just wasnt possible without altering a hdd enclosures files as we have discussed. Not to mention we all kno that the psp doesnt recognize memory over 4gb.

 

Wow sparsh.. u don’t have to get all pms on everyone =D relax man lol
I don’t understand ur problem.. okay so u paid like xtra bucks to get ur hands on 1.5.. so will everyone else with 2.1+ wen they have to buy the modchip and install it.. if u jus don’t like the fact that everyone gets to use homebrews.. that wud b very selfish of u lol =D

 

I hope this is true,after 3.0 because if it comes out now sony might make things a bit more difficult, damn I'd love to keep homebrew and have the PS1 emu as well imagine playing blood omen, soul reaver (Yeah LOK fan here I wonder if they can continue the series) and most important Final Fantasy damn that would rock, and for the hard drive I think I'm going to buy one of those OTG external cases that work with the psp.

 

Why are people like "lordv88" "Sparsh" getting there tails in a tangle. Take a chill pill lads. People are intitled to what they think. Theres no need to steal a cookie over it.
