classicgamer74 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I'm looking for a PS1 that has a MOD chip. I know you can have them built in and the early model has a plug in the back to put one on. Let me know if you have one you'd like to part with. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopy25 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Does it have to be a hard mod? I have an extra unirom cart that allows for playing backups as long as your ps1 has the right port. I'd let it go for $20 shipped if you want it. That's just the unirom cart though. I have to check on an extra console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 That sounds great. I've never heard of one of those before. How does it work? Yes , pleas see if you have an extra console, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopy25 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It's basically like a psuedo kai for the Saturn. It's a soft modded game shark cartridge that connects to the ps port on the back of early models. I'll take a look and see if I have a console. If I do I'd send the console and unirom for $40 shipped. I just did a quick look around and can only find one that I flashed to unirom and another that's original action replay I was going to leave original but if I can't find the other one I'll just flash that one too. Give me until early next week if you haven't heard from anyone else. I'm pretty sure I have 2 consoles but I have to make sure both read games before I send one off.

I have a bit of sad news with some acceptable news. Lol. Acceptable (because I already said it wouldn't matter): I found the other flashed cartridge. Bad news is I can't get either ps1 to play discs. They might both need a cleaning but idk. They both turn on and run the unirom cartridge but I can't get either to play a game. The offer still stands for the unirom. $20 shipped.

classicgamer74 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 I had a similar setup about 20 + years ago. You had the thing you plugged into the back of the PS1. Then you had a small spring that you put under the lid to make the PS1 think the lid was always closed. You would start it up with a regular PS1 game and then "open" the lid and put a copy game in there and close the lid again. Is that how yours is set up?

Dopy25 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 That's how it was before flashed with Unirom. With the Unirom, you no longer need the spring or swap. It just loads backups (copies). Like I mentioned before, it's like the pseudo kai for Saturn flashed to a gameshark cart. It loads it's own bios or OS before booting the system. I will post an image of the loading screen and you can see. It finds the game file and tries to load it, but the laser has trouble so the game doesn't load. It's the fault of my consoles, not the unirom. If it was the unirom, it would never load or find the game file on the backup disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted both to work so I could have a working one as well but I guess it's a later candidate for the xstation when the price costs less than a CIB Ps1. I still have my Ps2 I can lay on and the other ps1 to look pretty on the shelf with the other systems I don't play. The other one is also the first model with the AV ports and the 4 potentiometers. I have a ps1 with the unirom that plays backups. I've tested a couple. It plays Tekken 3 and MK4. I will pull it out again and check to see if they reliably play or if it happened that I played with it long enough it "warmed up". I'd rather not send something that is not reliable, even if it is cheap. Have you had any other luck finding one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerson Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If need be, I have the ability to program and install Mayumi v4 (SCPH-5xxx and up) and MultiMode v3 (SCPH-100x and up). I also have an oscilloscope and can adjust the laser. Unfortunately I do not have a spare PS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
