The guide covers how to identify which board revision you have, and how to solder the chip into your board.

I put together a comprehensive guide covering how to install MM3 modchips into every board revision of the PlayStation 1. You can either swap the BIOS chip with one out of an American console, or patch your backups to be NTSC-J region. There is additional region locking in the BIOS. Later Japanese systems, starting some time during the SCPH-3000's, and everything after, won't be able to play non-NTSC-J games with an MM3.You can either patch your backups to be PAL region, or use a chip that supports BIOS patching like the OneChip, or PsNee. PAL PSones (SCPH-102) systems won't be able to play non-PAL games with an MM3.Use a Stealth 2.8a, or a PsNee chip instead. Early Japanese SCPH-1000 (PU-7) boards don't support full stealth mode (meaning that anti-modchip games won't work).MM3 modchips are compatible with most PlayStation 1 consoles, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Read the installation section for more information. Installation only requires 6-7 wires to be soldered.Works with all games, even anti-modchip games like Spryo 3.There are a few exceptions though, so read the compatibility section. Compatible with all PS1 consoles from the original SCPH-1001 through the slim SPH-101.MM3 modchips have a great set of features allowing the chip to be easy to install, compatible with pretty much all PS1 consoles, and compatible with all games. Each chip is programmed and tested before being shipped. I use genuine Microchip PIC chips purchased from suppliers like Digikey or Mouser.

This is a new Multimode 3 (MM3) modchip for the PlayStation 1. The Shopify integration seems to be blocked by some ad blockers. If you don't see the add to cart button then you may need to disable your ad blocker for my website.
