I personally think that a chiped playstation is Xtremly unfair to most of us. I say this because I have had my playstation for over 4 years and I wouldn't want it to blow!
You have probably come across someone with a chiped ps1, as you might not have your own chiped. Well I don't have mine chiped and I still hear of others rhyming on that they have got the likes of a new game on the release date for only a lousy fiver. It would probably take myself a good while if I was to save up for a brand new game which would actually work.
So if you were to get your ps1 chiped, I recomend you all not to, for a start it doesn't take much for the ps1 to be destroyed after chiped, and besides most chiped games don't work. I find this totally unfair that others get so many games for so cheap and you're definately not allowed 1 cause its illegal as well.
So the best thing to do is to always buy proper games from the likes of SR as they are so cheap and that they are very reasonable!

What do all think bout chiped ps1's and games?

I'm afraid psx2's are very chippable, a ten pound chip in cinjunction with an action replay disc can get around the copy protection. There are even developments to use the usb ports to apply a chipping solution.

I personally don't have my playstation chipped but i certainly don't think it's immoral - and i bet those of you who were damning chipping are only too quick to tape a good album from your mates aren't you? (rhetorical question... for inner reflection :o)

The PS2 is chippable, but as of yet only allows you to play copies for the PS1, for the simple reason that nobody has found a way of copying games for the PS2.

You are wrong, if you go to gametek in dundee, for the past 4 months they have been able to chip your PS2, to play imports backups (of PS2 and PSOne games), play any dvd region and play in colour through a RGB Scart cable.

The games are available to download off the net in ISO format, only the DVD games are so far unscathed by piracy.
