There is a rumour spreading around the net that a group known as Team DST are working on a new PSP chip. This supposed chip is said to be solderless and will play any region UMD movie as well as allowing the running of homebrew software on PSP regardless of the firmware revision installed.

This is nothing but a rumour, the picture of the chip is very blurry which gives absolutely nothing away. The details are very scarce, the whole solderless concept is very much doubtable for a first generation mod, and lastly a PSP chip selling for $22.99 is iffy as well as the method of distibution on Ebay. Last time I checked, chips were against Ebay's policty regardless of possible uses.

We think it's a fake for sure, let us know what you think on the forums!

lol, the picture reminds me of a candid "Bigfoot" shot... "We were camping one day and out of the blue saw a PSP modchip scamper across the plain... all we were able to get was this one fuzzy screenshot though"... such elusive creatures!

blah blah blah. this is BS blah blah blah. whenever something too good to be true is posted, everyone immediately calls BS. then it actually happens and those same people are all about that product. you guys are probably the same ones that said the cube will never have a modchip and will never be able to boot burned games.

You make it seem like there is no reason to have doubt. That most projects that are announce happen just like they promise and on the dates they do. I'm sorry if you cannot understand why people aren't saying "Wow, I'm looking forward to this!" when all we have to go based on is a blurry photo. If that is all they could supply at the time they should have waited.

But that's all everybody has is doubt. Hell, I remember back when DC first came out. People kept saying they'd never be able to mod a dreamcast and burn games for it. Turned out you didn't even need a modchip. Oh, and lets not forget my personal favorite, the DRE issues with cube games. Everyone saying the problem isn't with the chip, it's the media and DVD burner you use. You have to use blah blah blah. Oh, look at this, a BIOS update for the chip, nomore DREs.

I'm not saying people should get excited and jump for joy, I'm saying people shouldn't be saying it's not possible already before it's even been tried.
