V14 SCPH-75001 GH-037 Crystal Chip 1.1 Working with pictures!!!!

[spedmetal]

First off thanks to Jerry from www.crystal-chips.com for the sample. The following are pictures of the new CC1.1 in a V14 SCPH-75001 with firmware 1.7. This chip can be confirmed working but PSX games are bugged as the firmware already stated. However I see they already released firmware 1.8

Look for the hacked version soon?

I will have video of the LED and its sequences soon.

Thanks <G> for fixing the IMG tag. I have downsized the pictures to be less anoying for our low bandwidth users.

This chip is working very well in the V14 console. No ground bounce ever! 100% boot rate just like claimed. I have reset the thing many times in and attempt to get the mechacon to crash and haven't seen an issue yet. Weather this can be contributed to the HA wire or if its the v14 its self I cant say but either way it looks to be a good combo. And the added 2 wires was not such a bitch like others might have you believe. I have taken a few video clips of the diagnoses LED in action. The first one is a good diagnoses and just a quick flash. The second is what an error looks like. The LED will stay on solid if the bios wires are wrong. I simply lifted the V wire to produce this error.

Good LED sequence (http://www.norcalmods.com/graphix/cc/cc11/cc11-led-good.mpg)

I have a nice crystal XCM case that I'm putting this V14 CC1.1 combo in and I have modified the metal shield to expose the LED. Pictures of that will be next.

Here is what the LED looks like through the case.

Nice, but now I heard we have v15 to worry about too... =/

Yeah puargs (http://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/member.php?u=95314) found a V15 early on. You can see pics of it in this (http://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41684) thread. It appears to summ0ne that it might be the same as the V14 just different solder points. Hopefully he is right.
