which bios to use for ps1?

Ok why in the hell would you spend money on a modchip when it is pointless, the swap trick is FREE!. So buying a Mod-chip in a sense is rather stuiped

Call me strange....but I'd get the mod chip so I don't have to waste time swapping?

It doesnt take but about 5 seconds to swap, takes as long as the game takes to boot about. and swapping is kinda fun . So you would rather spend money than be Patient?

Yeah but using the swap trick over a period of time you risk causing damage to your spindle & motor (So I've heard)

[Vivi]

I have never heard of that but ok, yea you can also fuck the whole system installing a chip and you warrenty would be gone, if you motor go's out swapping you can get a new one.

If you find it inconvenient to spent a few bucks for a few seconds of convenience, get a better job lol.

[Vivi]

Ok for the record i am only 14. And a few extra bucks you mean 20 bucks

[MeanMrMustard]

also swaping usually dont work with games that have more than 1 disk.

[Vivi]

Wrong...agian Works just fine. I do it all the time

[MeanMrMustard]

Generally only the very first consoles would have problems after installing a chip. Something to do with the laser I think. I had one & that was messed up by chipping but the warranty had long ran out by that time anyway. About 5 years ago bought another console didn't even open it & use it. Took it straight to a store & got it modded. Still works like a dream to this day no jumping or anything.
Personally I prefer a modded console but each to their own I guess

Cons: This method only works with the VERY old versions of the US and Japanese
PSX's. I used to have a 1001 version and this trick would not work. Why? Because
as soon as Sony discovered it, they fixed it. You would simply insert the spring
into the icicle-looking thing and have it push on the button beneith it (called
the "Drive Sensor"). This would tell the psx that the CD door was closed but it
really wasn't. You'd just go into the CD menu on the PSX, have it read the CD,
take it out, put in your import/CDR and exit. What was wrong with this? Usually
many music tracks would be lost when playing the game and sometimes the game
would stall for no reason. And if you're not careful, you may risk scratching
your lense and/or ruining your turntable in the process of popping in a disc as
fast as your arms can carry it. I won't post the many swapping methods here, so
if you know you have a really old PSX, go look for them.
