Other
Methods For Playing Backups
Note that I do not condone the use of MOD Chips, the
"swap method", or by using a device
like the Pro Action Replay (also known as a
"Game Enhancer" by some people). I do not support any of these
products/methods. If you wish to use them, do so at your own risk. Or try them
on a friends' PSX, so long as you're bigger than they are. I am not responsible for
that rat in the corner, either.
Now, if you don't want to put a MOD Chip in your PSX, (and
you shouldn't if you don't know what you're doing) there are some other options available
to you. One is called the swap
method. This involves (surprise!) swapping an original game (that has the American
bar code on it) with a backup or foreign game and 'tricking' the PSX into playing the
game. The PSX has tolerances built in that allow it to wait a certain period of time
before 'giving up' on loading a game. By taking advantage of these tolerances, we
can play backups and foreign games in an un-modded PSX. Read all about it here.
Another way to play these other games is by going out and
buying a device called the Game Enhancer. This is a 'box' that plugs into the back
of your PSX. It goes by many, many names... one of which is the Pro Action Replay. I'm not going to tell you
where to get one, how much they cost or anything like that. I picked one up myself,
but I'm glad I've got my MOD chip - it's a pain in the butt to get those things to work
with certain games, as is outlined by my Game Enhancer
section. Read all about it here. If you really
want to know where to get one, go to my Disucssion
Area and post a message about it. Someone will get back to you, I'm sure :).
