Reply With QuoteI've been trying to figure out how the mod chip will get it's firmware.
It would definitely be illegal to ship the modchips with sony's firmware 1.0 or 1.5...
They could ship it with blank flash, so you have to write a backup of your own firmware on to it.
But Im not sure you can put your firmware backup onto a different NAND, and it would have to come from your own psp...
So if you don't have 1.0 or 1.5 currently on your psp you won't be able to even make the backup.
Im guessing it must have it's own custom firmwares or something, but that's a little complicated...
lol When I first saw video clips of the ps3 version, i had the same feeling...Originally Posted by acn010

modchips are legal if they come with no firmware on them..this 1 wont it will come ready to be flashed with either sony official or some modified firmware. (the modchip wont have the limits of official sony chip).
chips arent illegal once you bought your psps you can do what ya want with it. sony couldnt sue if you smashed it up..copying and selling copyrighted games IS illegal.
i may be wrong but thats the stance on xbox chips..the cips arent illegal..copied games are

I'm a bit afraid of using this modchip...
What is if Sony heard from that modchip and releases in further firmwares an another "wall"?
Or maybe they get further: brikking your whole 2 PSP flashes
Just a stupid thought...

is it for sure that we can only have 2 firmwares on the mod chip or is that just speculation? i can't wait for homemade firmwares, imagine the possibilities.
edit: hopefully sony cannot do anything to diactivate the mod chip or something like that.

It would not be limited to firmwares
I wonder since it would be modded ... Is there some way they can put a harddrive in too?

Even though I have 1.5, I think this is awesome. Now, more people can experience homebrew while having all the additions from new firmwares (even though they're not great at all.) I really hope $ony doesn't sue them for this (it would be bleem! all over again.) As for the soldering, I bet it is easier than soldering console modchips.
