I feel like if you said tony, even before I saw it. I’d know what your talking about. But unfortunately I have no clue what you just said.

hahahhah

he did a 540 McBoot

"Hey kid! Do a Tony Hack!"

you never noticed the discs looked a bit different and were cdr's ?

@@waynosdaboss Maybe he printed labels for them. Still you would wonder why the disc wasn't black on the bottom.

Yeah my dad did this although he told me and my brother what it was - we used to go to rental shops and rent out like 10 games to copy at a time

Coolest dad ever

damn thats smart

For some reason it isnt working for me...crazy..

Maybe they just picked this game because it was one of the best selling game for the system, I'm sure there were other games that had a similar save system, but if it was a really rare game it would be harder to do the trick with a real copy.

@@lulkLogan At this rate Microsoft is obv going to one-up them - it has been 16 years and still no soft-modding for the Xbox 360 can be done. Nothing except modifying saves, which still isn't necessarily soft-modding.

technically games don't "defeat" themselves but rather they have programming flaws that can be exploited.

@Johnny Silverhand do you not understand that soft mod means software mod?

@Johnny Silverhand what you're referring too is not soft modding. Soft-modding involves modifying software, disc tray sensors are hardware.

“3 years experience required.” Gets the job with zero experience.

mine too i destroyed mine ops XD

The PS2 chip was fun 22 wires lol

same in Brazil. unchipped psx or ps2s are collector items with no real demand.

I got all my games from a pirated games shop that sold them at a shopping mall of all places. And that's how I learnt English, so yay piracy.

Same in Azerbaijan. We used Russian pirated discs. Some of them even had Cracktro like Medal of Honor.

Wasn't as common for me but they were used enough here in Canada for me to notice as a young child. A local mall to me sold $100 mod chip installations and bootleg $5 games for years before they got busted. I was there when the police were closing their shop haha. That mall shop became a nail salon afterwards 😅🙁

Same in Russia. Japanese didn't care to make games for us, back then they barely cared about Western Europe

I knew I played backups on my ps1 but I wasn't sure of the memory. All I remembered was spoofing the console into thinking the door was closed. And then your post reminded me of the device in the back.

You don't even need the I/O port, just the Gameshark CD and you can do this. Also "Mistakes were made" in this video as the Gameshark method works on the ps1 slim. As shown in a video on KZfaq. It also does NOT work on ALL models of the PS1, such as NTSC-U PlayStation 1 SCPH-1000 consoles (BIOS predates the introduction of the CD unlock command).

Literally a "game changer" 🤣

Did you not watch this video?

@@temporaryscars shut up

Yup. Helped me doing the double swap trick on Saturn model 2 where you don't have a CD access light to assist your timing

Have one in the 90, My brother know how to mod back in the day.

UNLIMITED POWAH

For me it wouldn't have been that much of a difference, since my kind grand father soldered me a mod chip into my playstation. But I can imagine it beeing great for everyone who didn't have someone who could solder a chip in, or parents that wouldn't want to spend the money for a chip.

@@RevCode This, I had a mod-chip installed by the local warez-shop before I even got the console on my hand. I just paid the dude the cost of a PSOne and his modchip work and told him I'll come to pick-up the finished console. I mean, what could I possibly do with an unmodded console and no genuine discs?

@@user-yg4kj2mf1p Ah, I remember seeing such offerings for I believe the original XBox in a bigger city near me, that they modded it in some way. (I never owned own, my step brother did tho.. was fun whenever he left it to me for a few days. I believe he got his in about 2003 or so, which means I was about 13 years old and by then my parents were not as willing to give me money for another console, I had to work for that myself from 14 onwards :D )

It's cool and good actually

And yet the bigger the piracy of ps1 games, the bigger the value of the original well preserved games.

@Stay EZ My Friends most of these games arent even being sold anymore

@Stay EZ My Friends these games came out over 2 decades ago. None of the people that made these games are still making any money off most of them. It’s a victimless crime, like drugs.

But you probably think it's ok for them to sell us games we already own though huh?

I didn't hear any special words...

That's in the video.

Same here, but my guess (since I don't have ways to test/prove it) is that they will. One of the checks has to do with asking the CD drive to re-read the wobble groove at the current disc location. Here's where non-stealthy modchips are detected because these re-reads must not return the region string ("SCEx") required to authenticate the booting of a CD. So here I think it will obviously always pass since there's no modchip in the first place, unless it somehow detects the disabled authentication check of the CD drive. However, another check calculates a checksum of a part of the game's code, whose expected result is stored in the CD's subchannel. Here's where cracking attempts are detected (until this check also gets bypassed of course). So here I believe it depends on also having copied the subchannel data on the "backup" CD. If there are more check methods then I'm not completely sure, otherwise it boils down to how the game handles authentication disabling and if the subchannel is also copied.

TLDR: unless there are check methods that I don't know, my guess is that it boils down to how the game handles authentication disabling (on the CD drive) and if the CD's subchannel is also copied.

When I had a modded Ps1, CD-Rs never worked as well as well as commercial discs. I suppose there’s a way to detect that, but there is always a risk of false alarms especially if the disc is dirty; calling your legit customers pirates is Bad.

if it's an accurate rip, then i think they wouldn't. as far as i'm aware spyro has libcrypt + it's famous custom protection, but the protection only kicks in if the game is modified, so if you have a untouched good CCD or other accurate format dump and can burn it properly then you should be good.

@@fake12396 correct, that's the checksum part i was talking about (but didn't remembered such technique had a name). So if the burner or ripper ignores the subchannel (since in most applications is only used for error detection of its corresponding "sector"), then such check also happens to detect burned CDs even with a modchip installed on the console 🤯. This is most likely the cause of John Simon's issue.

Too slow. This one was a preemptive click.

Gigapixels upscaler can interpolate color as it perceives the 8 bit color im guessing as noise. Taking just a screenshot and processing that cleans it up a lot honestly. We need stuff like this in real time as a tool. Im not talking debanding nonsense but a legit reconstruction tech specific for stuff thats so ancient its the only way to get the textures to resolve with any sort of grace. I have no love for the warpy wobbly software bs of PS1.

Mom bought some kind of bootleg disc at a swapmeet that had that same spring mechanism you mention. You would boot that disc up, it would load to a “change disc” screen, and you could swap and boot up pretty much anything after. It was probably an action replay but it didn’t have a case or manuals or anything

wow, it allowed it to translate the game, I never heard of that. So the action replay would change the text on the games from Japanese to English?

@@brodude3709I can’t confirm but definitely possible, action replay has the ability to modify the games code

So many kids sold the chips for $75 then rented games and sold them for $5 a pop. Proaction replay was amazing.

@@watsonwrote I do, never played them on PS1 but I do have a copy of THPS4 tho

I just stick a piece of paper on the PSone disc close detector and disc swap at the console load screen. Any official game works and I've played countless burned CDs back when I was a kid. This one is a cool alternative, but it's way too many steps and takes too long.

@@CJ9007 everything Sony was made to be hacked

Thinner software stack, less use of seldom updated commonly used third party libraries with known vulns. Also less persistent state of the os means getting an untethered exploit is less likely.

Nah, really didn't need to softmod back then when a spring did the trick just fine

Not really as newer ones are basically pcs while older ones used their own technologies which is why it takes a lot more reverse-engineering.

Not really, i mean xbone is still pretty hard to mod isn't it?

@@danielanju960 that's because of the hypervisor. Microsoft invested tons into virtualization and protecting the windows OS for the home and corporate markets and were able to easily utilize that same research for the Xbox.

You bloody liar You were born in 2002 lol

Yeah that was the default

Yeah it's a shame they can't modify the firmware to load homebrew like the Wii and 3DS. I don't know how common it is to be able to softmod like that though (I've only done those + Gamecube)

ya which makes me wonder how well it works with multiple disc games.

My cousin did this. We literally never had to close the lid as we changed discs. Although I feel that his console was already modded as all their game discs were pirated (I could mention how they looked like, but it's easier to just say that they don't look like genuine PS1 discs) and that we switch between Japanese and USA games with no problem.

to be fair, i personally prefer having all my games on one cartridge for example for n64. i own dozens of copies of my games, i'd be lying if i said i didnt have copies of games i dont own too though. if you have a scratched up disc from year 2000 that you cant play on, at least you can feel like it really just is a backup since you do own the original disc, even if it doesnt work.

They absolutely have to do this. For one thing, saying anything else would be an instant assumption of encouraging piracy, and easily provable beyond a reasonable doubt (Or rather, a reasonable person could easily believe that to be the case) in court. Being fair use is very important for this sort of thing, so saying 'Allows you to play pirated PS1 games!' is a really negative connotation, and could harm the community and the programmers who come up with this stuff.

Not to contradict, but the percentage of people playing (real) backups is not as small as you might think.

Thee paid KZfaqrs have to do it. But when you're me and no one gives a sbit about you, you can say the truth. Yeah i STEAL games. Straight up PIRACY! what anyone gunna do about it? Lol
