PSone

[AzNSouL]

I just bought a PSone console recently and downloaded a game yesterday.  I don't have a modchip installed but I had downloaded a lot of "BootCD" softwares from KaZaA.  Then I burned them as iso but, however, none of the them work.  Is there anyway of playing burned games without the modchip?

I too have wasted a lot of time and blank disks on downloaded playstation boot CD's.  None of them work something to do with them not being bootable when you burn them from ISO, NRG, CUE & BIN or any other format.  The only boot disks that work you have to buy, the best  one I know is  PlayStation PS-X-Change 2 ModChip CD -
(http://www.consolesource.com/playstation/ps-ex2-mod.htm)
It does work and it's pretty cheap for something that will allow you to play CDR backups and foreign imports  without having take you PS apart and solder a chip in.  I have tried copying ths disk but the copies don't work on a PS.  Hope this is helpful.

I don't know about the new ps one syytems.  but I do know you really don't have to have a mod on the psx systems. Although MOD chip are well worth the money.
this is what you do

What you Need:
spring with 1 end with a point.
an original game or preview disc

1.Turn system off

2.on the right side of the system where you insert your disc there is a button that lets the system know when the door is open.  right above it is the bar that pushes the button when it closes.  take a spring put it over this bar and have it hanging 1/2 inch beyond it so it holds the button down when the door is open. The will make the psx think the door is always closed even if you have it open.

3.place the original disc in system. turn system on. right when you here the sony logo screen turn on remove the original disc while its spinning and replace it with your backup disc.(This will take a coulpe of tries to get it right so be patient and keep trying)

Note this will work  for mosts games but It is easier done with a mod chip because what the mod does is stop the disc right after the region code has been dectected. plus most mods now are plugins like a gameshark and require no electronic knowledge, just plug and play.

I tried that method but it doesn't work.

I heard many rumors that a GAMESHARK for the PSX can let you play Burned/Import games on PSX/PSone without a modchip/bootdisk.  Is that true?

That is false information you have there. I have a Gameshark and it does not boot burned games w/o a modchip.
