The Playstation console boots really fast. We need to send the right signal to the console very quickly on power on. This all happens in about one second, when you first start up the playstation. When you upload your code over USB, the Ardunio app will first upload a boot strap, then it will upload your sketch/code. When you power on Ardunio, it will first run the Boot Strap and then your sketch. This take about 1.5 - 2 seconds before it will start running the sketch. By uploading over ISP you remove the boot strap, so the ardunio will start executing you code right away. We only have around one second to send the Playstation the right signals to defeat the region checks. If we program over USB, we stuck with it first loading the boot strap code and we lose too much time .
Other then Ebay, I don't know of that many. Keep an eye out for the PS1Digital HDMI mod boards. They should be coming out shortly. www.retrorgb.com/citrus3000psi-releases-ps1digital-install-video.html
Yes. Using an Uno as the ISP should be easier then Nano ISP to Nano. I used genuine Arduino board here but you can use cheaper Chinese Nano boards from Ebay or Ali Express that are around €2 each.
@@piyushtanksale6300 Ground is common, so you should be able to use any of them. It might look neater to use the one on the ISP header but any GND point on the nano should be ok.
Dislike ? Thumbs up here.
Thanks for the tutorial bro. I successfully modded my ps1.
PsNee for all fat PSX works well with arduino bootloader. Only with PsOne you need to flash it with ISP.
Hello, why you don't flash using the usb connection? Can only be flashed using the ISP? Sorry I'm new with arduino's world

@@GameTechRefuge Understood. Thanks for the great explanation 😉
This is my next project. Can you suggest me some webshop where i can find ps1 goodies?

will it work with a nodemcu esp8266?
Not tested it myself but shouldn't have any impact on any ODE. Then again you might not need it, as ODE's will enable you to play region free.
Do not anger the modding gods. haha but sometimes you have no choice. Good job
Thanks VGP&H :)
Double sided tape is cleaner and reversible without the risk of damaging anything.
How it works with PAL images?
Works good. I've tested with PAL versions of RE2 and Metal Gear Solid.
can it work as uno as isp? and instead of nano?
Yes. Using an Uno as the ISP should be easier then Nano ISP to Nano. I used genuine Arduino board here but you can use cheaper Chinese Nano boards from Ebay or Ali Express that are around €2 each.
@@GameTechRefuge where should i use vin pin i mean on vin near GND or on icsp to give power to it?
@@piyushtanksale6300 On the ISP power pin. VIN won't work unfortunately. Once programmed over serial the Nano will use V onr ISP header.
Thank You so i will use pin 2 +5v for voltage input on i from ps1 to nano iscp and should i use same for ground?
