Emulation on a CRT monitor with a dualshock 3. For PS2 and OG Xbox I have modded consoles.

I've been looking into a modchip for my Playstation, though I also need to learn how to solder.

Until then, I use the Goldfinger swap trick with backups to varied, usually poor results.

>>3989375
swap trick only affects games that use redbook CD audio since it reads the TOC for it in the first pass. which is why you should swap trick with a game that uses CD audio to fix it.

>>3989410
is there a list of games with CD audio? I think that may have been what I was doing wrong with the trick previously.

>>3989375
I've been wanting to get a mod chip but I want to flash my own chip. Is there a good place to learn how to do this? Also, is there a reliable way to swap trick with the PSone? As I may just want to stick to that if modding isn't an option.

You can use a modded PS2 or PS3. It is not emulated perfectly however.

Mednafen has pretty good PS1 support and new methods like PGXP are being introduced which makes PS1 emulation even better.

There is also PSIO, but can only be used on PlayStations with the parallel port:

It is marketed as a homebrew tool for legal reasons. This is the best solution so far as optical disk reading tends to get unreliable.

You can buy a PIC 12C508A chip off eBay for around $2, and a K150 programmer (software: https://buyhere22.com/components/k150/) ) for around $5. Here's the .hex files (what you flash to the chip) for the MM3 modchip. This woks for all consoles except PAL PSOne systems (they need the OneChip instead).

Pic related is the diagram for using a MM3 with the PSOne.

Note that the pinout for the chip is kinda strange, it has to be wired up like this

Gameshark swap.

>>3989419
I can tell you from personal experience that my silver backed PS-X-Change 2 disc allows me to swap in backups on PSOnes

>>3991748
>PS-X-Change 2
Is there any advantage to getting a modchip over this? I only want to play backups.

>>3990913
How good is the compatibility?

>>3991846
Those "swap discs" and the Gameshark knockoffs you plug in the parallel port don't work with newer games that check if you've swapped the disc (Final Fantasy VIII and IX and Dino Crisis are a couple that come to mind). Those games also don't work with an older 4 wire modchip, hence why you need the 7 wire Multi Mode 3.

PSIO is so fucking shit, please don't waste money on it. They dropped the ball when it went from an add-on to a modchip and have kept dropping it ever since, the '100% compatibility' it started as barely covering 50% in reality.
