a couple years ago i had my ps1 modded by osg. I was under the impression that i would be able to play imports and some backups. First game i put in was wild arms 2. I got an anti piracy message and the game would not boot. Mind you i owned a legit copy. No big deal though its just one game. So i learned that i coukd disable the chip by holding reset. Well i did and the ps1 doesnt recognize discs with the chip disabled! Then, i disovered another problem that when playing multi disc games it wont boot the game from any disc but disc one. So if i am continuing a game from disc 2 on say resident evil i cant. Id have to start disc 1 from the last in game save point before the game tells me to change to disc 2. I took the ps1 out of the closet yesterday because i just bought strider hiryu 1 and 2 import. Well i popped it in and guess what happens? I get an anti piracy message and the game does not boot. i only have about 20 ps1 games but thats a small percent that are unplayable. Had i known this beforehand...
