When I was in Junior High School back in 2002, a friend helped me Mod-Chip my PS1. When he decided to open up my PS1 and bust out his chip and soldering tool, I was flabbergasted. Keep in mind, we were 13-year-old kids, I never saw a soldering tool in my life and my Hong Kong friend is soldering them like he's been doing it forever. But it was even more amazing when we booted up the console and it was able to read a pirated copy of Twisted Metal 2.

@@orangebrowntabby3705 yep, on my 14th bday I asked my dad for a CD-Rom burner and got one because he thought that was an impressive thing to ask from a 14-year-old kid. So me and my friend started bootlegging all sorts of PS1 games and also providing service in mod-chipping. We even got one order from a kid who gave us one full album of blank CD-Roms and asked us to burn 25 games or so, we charge like 2 dollars per game. Fortunately, we stopped when we became high-school kids, otherwise, we could have formed a PS1 bootleg syndicate.

4:17 After realizing their mistake with such a simple copy protection system on the PSX, Sony learned their lesson with the PS2, with a system so complex that you can just pop a burned DVD in and it's instantly cracked.

[@aprofondir]

To be fair it did take 20 years to find *that* exploit

[@shanez1215]

That's true, but it took 20 years to find that trick so the protection did its job since Sony isn't selling many PS2 games anymore. Before that you had to use a memory card and that had its own issues. Every piece of hardware gets cracked if there's enough interest, so for a console that sold 155 million to be that resistant is pretty impressive. Like the PS2 was in like 25-40% of US household's which is pretty insane. Meanwhile the Wii was running homebrew software in like 2007/2008. Plus until very recently it was super tough to USB load games and get a good experience on the slim PS2's. The USB ports were half the speed of the disk drive so you had a lot of stuttering cutscenes and super bad load times. The USB loading through a memory card method wasn't discovered until like 2020 and it wasn't perfected until the end of last year

[@anonamatron]

I just bought a PS2 that already had a mod chip installed. Done. I did have to shop around for a while to find one that also played pirated PS1 games, and I've had to remember the button combo over the years to activate that mode since the tiny random shop I got it from in Taiwan is probably not there anymore or I wouldn't be able to find it and they wouldn't remember anyway.

The colored discs were exactly as you guessed regarding physical protection. The color had nothing to do with copy protection from a software perspective. It was hard for even the best pirates to replicate the black dye in those discs. They'd basically have to have access to one of a few makers pushing out colored discs of that type at the time. Colored CD-R/RWs would come down the pipe but usually a lighter hue and not the solid black that PS1 had even when "black".

[@irtbmtind89]

Sony actually ditched the black discs very late in the PS1's run (IIRC after the PS2 came out). Likely they shut down the dedicated PS1 pressing lines at Sony DADC and moved everything to the regular CD pressing lines.

Never realized that the beep when inserting a disc was for copyright check

[@jr540123]

I never knew a PS1 would fucking beep.

[@Kalvinjj]

what you hear is likely the laser assembly itself making that beep, by the lens moving on that frequency, and thus working (unintentionally) as a speaker of sorts. The copy check is mostly a wobble on the disc that has to match a certain frequency when it spins in x1 speed at the start. Ever seen that a PS1 disc accelerates after it has shown the boot logos? Yes, after that check it goes to x2 speed but the wobble check is at the x1 speed. You'll also never hear it on pirated/backup CD-Rs since they don't have a wobble encoded on it.

[@SerBallister]

@@Kalvinjj All CD's have wobble though? It's how the laser knows it's looking at a track correctly.

[@Kalvinjj]

@@SerBallister Yes but the PS1 copy protection wobble is a very specific frequency it looks for when at the boot. The usual lens wobble that keeps it tracked is way more subtle, in fact would be nonexistent on a 100% perfect disc and drive (it would just move veeery slightly to follow the spiral). But indeed, this commonly performed lens wobble during normal CD read is exactly what the drive uses, it just wants to keep itself in focus and on track, but the track is snaking around, the PS1 picks that up and knows that this ONE wobble there is what it wanted.

I actually had a PSX at one point that did not beep at startup. Apparently, some PSX models were prone to the mechanism that makes the beeping noise fail due to some hardware oversight, that allowed too much power from AC into the mechanism and so, fried it. This was never addressed by Sony as far as I know. The one I currently have does still beep, nineteen times of twenty. It's a very old model, one of the first that can play the VCD format (has the composite and audio outputs alongside the Multi Out). It runs okay, for now.

I found that some of those action replay type devices that plug into the parallel port will let you play backups. You have to keep the disk spin button inside pressed down, theres a stick on the lid that presses the button down when lid is closed, you just gotta get a spring from an old ballpoint pen to go around the stick to keep button pressed while lid is open. Put in an original copy of any game and turn on while lid is open, the disk will spin, when it stops put in any copied game and press the start game option on screen and the copy will play.

The copy protection is encoded into the wobble of the data stream. No disc is made perfectly so optical disc readers use a "floating" lens to follow the data stream as it wobbles from manufacturing defects. This is an automatic process for most optical disc readers. Think of it like how we as humans have parts of our nervous system that we cannot control directly. Like our heart rate or digestion process. The PlayStation discs had the region code and copy protection encoded into the wobble of the disc and the PS1 disc drive is designed to be able to read that wobble. Writable CDs have a prebuilt groove that the laser has to follow so you can't recreate this wobble without pressing the CD in a factory. Technology Connection has a great video with more detailed info on this.

Does anyone know which PIC Programmer he's using? EDIT: He's using the Microchip PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit

[@DsiPro1000]

when you were testing if it read legit discs the video stopped for an ad and my heart stopped for a second

[@JohnP55]

Getting the code from an open-source chip doesn't really feel like you're making the chip "from scratch".

6:11 Or while you're online buying a PIC programming board, buy a $1.00 pair of chip puller tweezers, too.

0:57 who remembers this video that played before half of the movies that were produced on CD's i remember that i had few videos, from a kids series (where each CD had like 5, and i had total of like 10 discs) and after putting the disc in this played. i thought it was a bit scary (and i didnt know what it meant cuz i was too young to read english (im not from UK/USA)) (tho i noticed they are stealing a tv and a movie with a scary song playing)
