Multimode 3 (MM3) – PlayStation 1 (PSX, PS1, PSone) – Modchip

I have written guides for installing MM3 modchips into various revisions of the PlayStation 1. If you have a PS1 and are interested in installing a modchip into it, then you can purchase preprogrammed MM3 modchips from me.

I use genuine Microchip PIC12F629 chips that I purchase from Digikey or Mouser. This is a more modern alternative to the PIC12C508 chips that are commonly used for PS1 modchips.

I program and test each chip myself.

Features

  • Compatible with all PS1 consoles, from the original SCPH-1001 through the slim SCPH-101.
  • Plays game backups from any region.
  • Plays genuine games from any region.
  • Works with all games.
  • Installation requires only 6-8 wires to be soldered.

You can choose from the following regions.

  • America – For American PS1 consoles.
  • Europe – For European PS1 consoles.
  • Japan – For Japanese PS1 consoles.

You can also choose from the following wire configurations.

  • No wire included (chip only).
  • 1×144″ wire included (single loose wire).
  • 8×18″ wires included (eight loose wires).
  • 8×18″ wires included, and presoldered (eight wires soldered to each leg on the chip).

Installation notes

  • Wiring diagrams (you can also send me a message with your board version and I’ll send you the correct image).
  • You’ll need a fine point soldering iron, solder, and wire cutters/strippers.
  • If you are having trouble playing backups make sure your wires are short, and your soldering connections are good. If you are still having problems try burning your games at a slower speed. 
  • If you are having trouble playing backups sometimes restarting the console fixes the problem.
