what this mod chip does is it allows you to have 2 different firmwares on one psp so you can have fw 1.5 have all the homebrew you want and have the latest fw 2.7 and have all umds playing and all the new stuff in the firmware

also, the mod chip has 32mb of built in memory (same as psp) for home made firmware files and it will be priced at ~ $90 (75 Euros)

too much for me, why not get $60 more USD and buy another PSP... If you have a 1.5 that it, is you have 2.1+ then you can get $80 more and buy a 1.5 PSP...

I will not buy the modchip until it is $50 USD or less!

so you go download a firmware to put on it? see thats where i was confused im not sure if it would make me stay with what i got and be able to upgrade , or let me have 1.5 , i was thinking it might say have 2.6 and 2.7+ , i donno.

I imagine so yes. I think it will just be the standard Sony PSP update eboot files.

if the modchip can be used to solve a bricked psp - where bricked is a firmware issue- if the chip comes with no firmware how can we get it up and running to load anything/everythin work. Mayabe a simple bios to boot up with- at least enough to get connected with? your thoughts please

The U.P. (Undiluted Platinum) is a flash replacement system for the PSP™ which allows the use of previous flash updates or custom firmware builds, opening up the possibility to run unsigned homebrew code on even the latest PSP systems. The U.P. contains 32MB NAND flash which is programmable from the PC via a high speed USB connection, using our user friendly software. You may boot the PSP from either its onboard flash or the flash contained on the U.P; the flash which is used is determined by a button press as the PSP is powered on (U.P. flash is used by default, hold L1 to use the PSP onboard flash). Since U.P. provides a secondary flash which the PSP can boot from, it can even be used to restore a PSP which has been “bricked”. Every effort has been made to make our flash updater software, which will be freely available for download, both as easy to use and reliable as possible. The software also contains diagnostics which can be used by installers to determine if an installation has been successful or not.

there ya go
