i hope it's true, but good point about the 16MB issue

i had a psp earlier this year but got bored of the relative infancy of the homebrew on it (neocd and nes were the best things i tried, md/snes were too slow) so sold it on after a month or so.

but then a few weeks ago at work i put 2.7 on a psp and dl'd the loco roco demo and suddenly it became clear - NEED a psp!

shame this news has come a little while before i was due to get me a ds lite. now i'm going to have to decide which one i buy.

provided it isn't a big scam of course!

Have you ever seen a MS-DUO? They are at the size of your thumb, and they can hold up to 4GB's. So the "flash-chip-size-issue" isn't really true.

Come on guys, you really think that chip can hold 16+ mb's of info?
All the psp firmwares I have seen are around 16 megs.  On the chips website nothing indicates that it can hold that much ammount of storage.

That Actel chip isn't a flash chip. It's just an ASIC. As cory1942 said, there's a flash chip near the Actel chip.
And BTW, Sony makes M2 cards which are kinda like the size of a chip like the ASIC and can contain like 1GB of data. Chip's physical size doesn't mean a lot when talking about storage space.

After looking at the chip then inside my psp, i cant see how this will fit if the shape is the same on the photoshopped pic.
it would also need to be at most 1.5mm thick as there is very little room inside a psp.

Also, why is the chip the same as on a dms chip? (according to the pic)

i dont buy it, think this might be a fake, hope i am proved wrong though

After doing  a little research on this I found out that this started inoct of 2005.... they said it would be released nov 19th of 2005, and now all of a sudden its back again.

The original  story for it in 2005 was the same company, same description, but they were talking about only making 100 chips and selling them in ebay.... Which is a load of crap because you cant sell anything like that on ebay.

Also, the original pics made it look like a PC socket type adapter, and now it just looks like a ps2 modchip with an extra flash chip on it.

They were also talking about it having its own 85Mhz processor on it, for overclocking, but that would not only kill your psp in less then a week, but how and why would you put a seperate processor on a mod chip???


Its so full of holes now I know its full of crap.


But, Team xecutor is making something due out around christmas so....

The things some of you say. If this chip is so fake they did an excellent job at it. For those of you who THINK this chip is fake and dont do PS2 modifications like i have and dont know anything, and i do mean anything, about a psp, then read on

ACTEL is a high quality IC made to control, patch, or do both when code is put on it (to do as such).

Actel in a PS2 modchip, like the matrix infinity and dms4 series, along with memory to hold hacked patcher/bios/firmware either patches the bios (Matrix Infinity) or Controlls the Hacked BIOS O/S (DMS4 Pro). So stop saying ohhhh it looks like a ps2 chip. This might be because it functions SIMILAR TO A PS2 MODCHIP. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Look next to the actel chip on this modchip, its NAND memory WHICH IS WHAT THE PSP FIRWARE IS HELD ON
INSIDE THE PSP. THis means that it will have enough to hold its own firmware

A project like this was tried before except it completely overtook the NAND memory and ran dual firmwares with the flip of the switch.


There is a big difference between this chip and devilmod360. Devilmod looked like a piece of shit and the picture wasnt worth piss. This picture is a genuine article and you can tell just by looking at it. This modchip, however, looks very very quality and the fact that it has a NAND chip next to the actel chip convinces me that its real

This post is dedicated to everyone who beieves in this chip

For everyone saying because it has an actel chip, and it resembles a ps2 chip, and that it has to be fake.  Stfu, actel is just a company who makes and sells chips, such as the chips in an xbox mod chip.

For everyone saying it wont fit because it looks big, do you see it sitting next to a psp?
For all you know:

• It could be external
• It might be thin enough to squeeze in there
• You might have to remove the UMD drive for it

Not like I ever use the drive anyways.

Ok why would you make a bare, unprotected circuit external?

You are right, actel is a company that makes and sells chips. High quality ICs to be correct. How many fakes have you seen harboring Actels? And you just agreed with me when you said

actel is just a company who makes and sells chips, such as the chips in an xbox mod chip

But what does it do exactly? It controlls and handles specific functions in an xbox chip, just like it does in an xbox, and soon the psp.

You are so angry, you need to calm down. Stick to installing modchips and not knowing shit about them or there fucntions.

For those reading my post, i didnt mean to sound stuck up or anyting, just trying to say basically observe, thats it. sorry if i offended anyone. But i see we still have 19-21 year old babys on the forums who cant  read for shit.

I hope everyone who read my post gained a little hope.

I wasn't talking about you btw, just the 16 years old part.  

I'm just saying, I read other peoples comments saying how it looked just like a ps2 modchip, and how they thought it was fake.  I was agreeing with your whole post, although that external thing seems dumb now that you point it out.  

I wasn't arguing with you.

Then i apologize. I was wondering because i was trying give ppl hope and i was flamed. oh well i apologize anyways.

[Modderxtrordanare]

Nope, I was agreeing with you.  I'm sorry if it was worded so you would be led to think otherwise.

99% fake imo. there's just no space inside the psp to install even a mini pcb. remember devil360. in few weeks we will also have prove of that scam.

well, i'm happy i have 1.5 already to be honest. hope for you guys it is true. but don't get your hopes already up.

i think you can take out the wifi board. not sure if the psp would even boot up. although the chip looks like a ps2 chip, IMO i think it should because the two probaly run the same way with a different interface and graphics and so fourth but one things that i ponder on is why the chip is in the shape it is.

Info Cut and Paste from Max Console and PSP Update

The U.P. (Undiluted Platinum) is a flash replacement system for the PSP™ which allows the use of previous flash updates or custom firmware builds, opening up the possibility to run unsigned homebrew code on even the latest PSP systems. The U.P. contains 32MB NAND flash which is programmable from the PC via a high speed USB connection, using our user friendly software. You may boot the PSP from either its onboard flash or the flash contained on the U.P; the flash which is used is determined by a button press as the PSP is powered on (U.P. flash is used by default, hold L1 to use the PSP onboard flash). Since U.P. provides a secondary flash which the PSP can boot from, it can even be used to restore a PSP which has been "bricked". Every effort has been made to make our flash updater software, which will be freely available for download, both as easy to use and reliable as possible. The software also contains diagnostics which can be used by installers to determine if an installation has been successful or not.
 
The U.P. has been designed to minimize installation difficulty and effort. A FPC (flexible printed circuit) cable is included which routes the essential signals from the PSP motherboard to the U.P. main board and U.P. USB connector. Copper enamel wire is included, which will provide the connection between the FPC cable and the motherboard signal traces. The FPC cable also helps by reducing the mechanical stress placed on the solder points, making a U.P. modified PSP shock resistant which is important for handheld systems. Installation aids are included, and installation diagrams for all PSP hardware revisions will be available for download, together with flasher software application, from our reseller's websites. More about installation together with install pictures closer to release.

The FPC cable end to which the USB connector board attaches is routed into the battery compartment and sits above the battery. The battery cover can be replaced after flash updating and the cable remains safely in the compartment until the next update is required, whereupon the USB connector can be clipped in place within a few seconds. This means that the U.P. is completely contained within the PSP under normal usage and avoids any unsightly external modifications to your PSP. PSP is after all portable, let’s keep it that way!

In order to maximise the benefits that U.P. can provide its users, we have decided to take an open source approach with U.P and will be releasing source code for any software we release as well as full documentation for the U.P. hardware interface - including information on how to control U.P. from within PSP programs. This will allow anybody to create software which can take advantage of what U.P. has to offer. We have also sent a few prototype units away to some of the scene's best software hackers in order to give them a headstart at working on custom flash replacements - cant wait to see what people will come up with!

Features Announced:

• Ultra reliable and feature rich Actel ProASIC Plus FPGA
• Full Speed USB 1.1 ASIC onboard
• Branded 32MB NAND flash onboard (same flash as used in PSP)
• Stable and reliable flashing software freely available for download
• Installation verification using flashing software
• Ultra compact four layer PCB
• High quality Japanese connectors
• USB cable included
• FPC cable included, reducing installation effort and improving shock resistance
• Copper enamel wire included
• Open platform development system for software developers
• Installation has been optimized to fit entirely inside PSP
• All PSP hardware versions/regions supported
• User updatable flash
• Low power consumption
• Flash select via button press
• Ultra compact PCB has been designed to avoid signal bounce

Bundled Stuff:

• U.P. MAIN MODULE x1
• U.P. USB BOARD x1
• USB CABLE x1
• INSTALLATION AIDS 1 SET
• COPPER ENAMEL WIRE 1 SPOOL
• FPC CABLE x1
