Design Modchip Originators

cravavr3 · 12-05-2004,11:30 AM

Ok,

I am very new into the PS2 modding scene ( 1 month in ) but can't
help but notice that almost all chips on market are similiar in design and parts used:

1) MI
2) Ghost 2
3) Crystal Chip

Can anyone tell me what/who the originators of this design are? And if other 2 are just hacked versions of code on originators code? Or is design and code public and developers just used common design but developed there own code.

I've supported the MI team so far as they showing and helping public with v12 issues more then any other group, all other groups just say use the MI-Fixes along with there chip and install diagrams.

Just curious and sure this question has come up before so should be easily answered.

I also see that idiot box crew at ***4 has released a v12 support code for ***3. What scammers, say old chip not capable, sell new chips to people then come out with code for old chip. I see no real differences in feature from 3 or 4

well they pretty much use the actel chip but i'm pretty sure all use a somewat orig code. the code isn't public. Don't take my word for this. Well someong did try with a ***3+ on a v12 before ***4 came out and it did work somwat .

the big difference is their price feature!

Their code isn't public?

With around 5000 EUR, I can easily manage dumping of DM-S 4 and produce cheap clones in China.

Maybe this is new business ;-)

I am from GSM scene, and we have a lot of cloned flasher boxes there. Even I produced some cheap clones at home (like Motorola V-XXX unlocking clip).

All GSM flasher boxes have their own serial number, to prevent cloned boxes from upgrading and to kill clones with the latest update. But modchips have no S/N...

I would laugh to see the face of DIVINE0 owner, when cheap 25 USD clones of DM-S 4 surface...

Why would you want to make clones of that garbage? There have been so many complaints about that chip not working it would not even be worth buying a single chip to examine let alone clone.

it's just a thought.

now THATs cool :-)

But are those actel chips crackable??

Id buy some modchip code from you for 5k ;-)

Nope, they aren't crackable. Thats why they use the Actel ProASIC Plus chips. Actel uses a patented "Flash Lock" technology that makes them nearly impossible to crack. check it out

I have read some theories about running it at such a high frequency, that there is a sqew between some data lines inside the chip and that u can pretty much do what u want with it that way.

Just no chip-specific details

Theres people doing PhDs in cracking chips.
