Game Enhancer - Simply plug in to the back of the console, but is said to eventually muck up the console and the games.

PSX Change CD - Easy to use (just load put the PSX CD in and then load the copied version), said to wear out the reading system of the playstion, resulting in crashes and audio losses.

First, get a PS2 for gawd's sake. Or any other new console for that matter.
THEN consider importing stuff (NOT pirate copies, you mong) - get a flip-top lid and a boot-disc. Cheap, easy, no messing with the insides.

a. gaming could be at an all time low, if you want to get out in this great, spirit rising weather.
b. if you screw up you ps1 its a waste of time anyway.
c. it would be easier to get a ps2 and enjoy the new games.

Never had a game enhancer or CD or anything like that... so a modchip is best.

But, it does indeed screw up your console after a while.

Get a PS2.
