Well, with some of the modchips, aren't you reflashing the dvd drive's firmware depending on whether your loading in an original copy or a backup copy or when you go on live? Thanks.


nope, you flash your firmware, and your good to go. back up/retail pressed disc/ on or off live, you don't need to change the firmware at this time.

I have a hard time justifying a $50 purchase that offers no real clear advantage over flashing the firmware for free.

Modchip - $50 and works

Firmware flash - Free, and works better, can be updated

Best solution if you want an "off" feature - homemade dual fw chip solution with a switch, flash one chip with hacked firmware and the other with original firmware.


What do you mean homemade solution, are you talking about fabricating your chip?

How could you have dual firmware if you dont buy a chip?

Thanks for clearing that up.
