This should be an absolute last resort. I had the same issue with my chipped psone. Try multiple dvd burners. I tried 5 different types and only 1 could burn a disc which the psone had no issues reading.
This is very true and deserves mentioning, so I have pinned the comment. The information in this video assumes that you are using quality media, and that there are no issues with the CD writer.
Thanks for the tutorial! I bought a PS1 with a modchip and it was already tweaked. The resistance was 0.384 and videos and music lagged badly. I changed it to 0.410 I think and now somehow it works flawlessly!
This is actually incorrect, the perfect resistance depends on the reader and how it aged, however you can assume that that resistance is fine since the reader didn't burn. I had some units with a reader which was partially reading at 0.8kOhm and then they got fried when lower than that.
You are the champ! I'm running flash carts on all my cartridge systems and burned games in the PSX. Adjusted to about 1.065kohm and it plays FMVs in games perfect!
I know this is pretty old now, but you really helped me out! I found some ps1 systems in my storage and never knew they were chipped xD. Had slight stuttering in cutscenes and lowering the resistance fixed it completely. Thanks!
1.084 Kohm seems to be the magic number for my SCPH-7501 and is what it was originally calibrated to. I thought it needed adjustment, but it turned out that my CD burner sucked. Problems went away once I started burning the discs using a different burner. I wonder if different models need different values.
@@cajunmetabolic7504 XD hahahaha righ now checked and they sually beetween 1000 and 1100 aprox, almot all console in my country, never seen one that had 1200 or more, maybe for the modchip install low the pot
@@danielbarrios4379 Sounds right. Mine was at 1084 ohms. Out of the few I've modded, I think I've only had to go down to about 1030 ohms to get them to read burned discs. I always try to keep as much resistance as I can, it doesn't take a lot of current to burn one.
I assume the struggling with the original games is probably because it's trying to track the copy protection lead-in which is much more wobbly, and I suppose the lower voltage (combined with age) was messing with the tracking since it has to move much more than usual, or at least that's the explaination I can think of
I got stuck having either/or and finally gave up (don't have a multimeter, but thanks for showing it is possible!) Never had a modded PS1 in the 90s, but I don't remember ppl discussing this issue at all. In reading everything I could find on the subject, the most odd thing I found was modern burners often don't do as good of a job as the old ones. Some might actually have a different manufacturer than the PC/program tells you, and there are notoriously bad ones. One thing that bothers me is I can't set my burn speed as low as recommended.
Had to set mine at 910 ohms to get it to barely working again. My poor PSX is on its way out. Would adjusting the RV703 pot on the board help at all? It's the only other pot.
The top value on the piece of paper would have been the resistance reading from the potentiometer before any changes were made. I will note that the unit was a SCPH-5501 model, and not a PSOne slim. Hope that helps.
Worked for me! I have a SCPH-102 which couldn't read neither originals nor backups after have installed the onechip mod. This totally solved the issue. 1.13kohm did the trick for me!
ONECHIP adds some noise by default. I remember someone DID find a fix for that but it's only for the newer board used in the slim PSOne, which is PM-41(2). I couldn't find any fix for the older PM-41 mobo... so adjusting the laser to work.
i looking your this video on 2024 i have a questions what the correct speed for burn games ps1 (2x) my drive did not supprt this speed so i burn at 10x and i have a problems with some games thank you for the video
You generally want to burn as slow as your burner will allow, and use quality CD-R discs. You're going to have to do some research on what is considered quality CD-R media in this day and age. Sorry I can't be of further help.
Is that a metal spindle installed on it? And an helpful tidbit - as far as I remember, stealth chips should have a procedure involving power and reset which shuffles through stealth modes, as far as I remember. .
It was a plastic spindle, and I don't believe it really matters. Also, although I do think you are correct about older stealth modchips, the MM3s, which are the standard these days, don't have any such shuffle feature that I'm aware of, nor do they need it. Thanks for your input!
Many thanks! My ps1 is running fine again, even scratched or dirty disks, and videos are not stuttering anymore. All I had to do was to adjust the resistance from 1300 down to 1160 ohm. My model is a PAL SCPH-5552 with parallel port on the back side, no mod chip afaik.
Just bought a new drive, it began at 850 ohms...stuttered like crazy, brought the resistance up till 880. Kablamooo!!! No stutterings....it really needs such a weak turn
I adjusted my laster but it's still the same, reads only orginal games. Do you know what could be the issue? I've tried; 1.223 1.210 1.130 1.222 1.171 1.081 1.149 1.014 1.104 974 1.062 1.250 1.115 1.099 1.111 1.102
I personally use 4x speed and have never had a problem. I've also read a few guides and they all recommend 4x. As for blank discs I just use cheap "verbatim" CDs.
Crash Bash also showed me the anti-modchip thingy when all other games (even Spyro 3) worked just fine 😳 And I remember playing it back then with this same PS One, must be the ISO.
it's very hard to measure degrees when its that small. and this is going to largely depend on how worn down your laser is, so it should vary from person to person
That's probably doable, but as far as I know all modchips you can buy nowadays have stealth mode to get around the anti mod protection. The wire on this modchip for stealth mode was loose IIRC, so it was a simple fix of resoldering the wire to the chip.
Spyro 3 had two protections, copy protection and crack protection. What you're referring to was part of the crack protection. All modchips for PS1 nowadays get around the copy protection quite easily, so using a cracked version of Spyro 3 is completely unnecessary. So although this was definitely a thing when the game was first released, it's no longer an issue.
@@BoomerElectronics it's actually a two-part crack protection. one is libcrypt and the other is multiple CRC checks during the game. you need a properly cracked ISO to play a backup copy of Spyro 3 without issues.
@@waltercomunello121 Incorrect, all you need is a stealth modchip, which tricks the game into thinking that a modchip is not installed in the system. Spyro 3's copy protection was only relevant at the game's release because stealth modchips were not yet the norm. th-cam.com/video/4GYSeXLr5sY/w-d-xo.html
My old PS1 will only play games if it's stood on its side wtf 😂 I'm guessing it's something to do with the laser maybe but I dunno anyone know what this is?
TLDR: chipped PS1 for backups are a waste of time. I've replaced drives with brand new ones. Gone in there with multimeter and oscilloscope to adjust pots and still can't get useable reliable results. Used all sorts of different brand cd r and different burn methods. It's never consistent and it's never reliable. I'm looking at a PSIO serial port cart now instead. Save yourself the time and stress my dudes.
thanks man, i almost replace my optical disc. i buy psone that already modchip, but can read any original disc properly. so i just play with that.. and works perfect... now my psone can read the original disc... XD
Depends if you tweak the resistance higher or lower, higher resistance will actually preserve your laser by sending it a lower voltage, but a lower resistance will indeed kill it faster
It's pretty simple. If you need a burning program you can get ImgBurn here: imgburn.com/index.php?act=download If you have an image file you want to burn, select the "Write image file to disc" button, browse to the image (usually an img or bin file), and burn it to a disc. To copy a PS1 disc just select "Create image file from disc" and then burn that image to a disc like I said above.
This should be an absolute last resort. I had the same issue with my chipped psone. Try multiple dvd burners. I tried 5 different types and only 1 could burn a disc which the psone had no issues reading.

Really helpful, considering most pple don't show the actual measurements for the most perfect resistance, that was a huge helf for me. Thanks!
This is actually incorrect, the perfect resistance depends on the reader and how it aged, however you can assume that that resistance is fine since the reader didn't burn. I had some units with a reader which was partially reading at 0.8kOhm and then they got fried when lower than that.
The "perfect resistance" is going to vary console to console. Anyways, glad you liked the video.

My old PS1 isn't chipped, but does not read games every time. Do yo think this would improve things for me as well?
@@toober247 Probably yes, one of my chipped systems didn't benefit from this however, so it must need a new laser if tweaking it doesn't work.

I would just replace the laser, sounds like your old one is about done.
Mine worked perfectly at 880, but yeah end is nearing, my other laser still worked good at 1230 ohms
What should the normal laser intensity be?
I torqued my pot down to 1.11 k ohms (close to where yours is) and still couldnt get anything. tried 4 different ohm settings. nothing
What is the default lazer resistance value for your PS1 Slim before any issues had occured?

8x-10x is all right for PS1, write speed has little effect on games. You’d have to find an older CD burner that allows 2x.

But how to check resistance with multimeter? Got problem with second laser which I special buy for my PlayStation. They have no more quaranty.
Just connect your multimeter to the top and right bottom contact, and obviously set your multimeter to Ω symbol
Weird that you're asking this. He clearly mentions that at 0:43
Do you have a step by step on this procedure?
Yo thank you brother, now my 25 years old ps1 with a new laser runs flawlessly with both burned and original discs. Thank you!!
What the hell, my disc wont even spin now.. Does this happen?

Has any of your modded ps1 read any of your burned discs at all? do you at least see the black screen, ps1 boot logo?
You probably need to replace the capacitors. I did, and mine started working properly.
Master class Intel my friend, thanks.
Cd was doing 2 spins then dead, thanks to you is working again, domo
At what speed does a ps1 cd has to be burned in order for the ps1 to read it?
I burn at the lowest speed the writer will allow.
@@BoomerElectronics the lowest speed was at 10x i believe and i used a gameshark and the game wouldn't boot up
It might be the quality of the media you're using. Check out cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_quality.shtml
Speed doesnt matter, only quality of burning
