* What is a mod chip? *I'm trying to decide if this is an *upgrade I can't live without, or is this a gizmo cheat de-vice? *Would one of these degrade the quality of gameplay, or enhance it? *If I seem naive about this it's
because I am. *I'm pretty new to both gaming and using
my computer. *However, I would appreciate usable feed-
back.

[b][color=green]Mod chips are completely unnecessary,jerdog-you'll live without it very easily.We here at API do not recommend using them.It's very easy to ruin your system if the install goes wrong,and in some cases it has reduced the lifespan of the system.Also,most newer games have coding to sniff out chips and prevent them from playing on modified consoles.

Finally,we at API are very much anti-piracy.Promoting the use of these chips for that purpose can result in an immediate banning of the offending member.

Hands down no! *My friends use a mod chip and the PSx life span is going down, he has slow loading time and the graphics are starting to freeze up. *I dont recommend it. *Believe me, your better off.

* I take it from *your replies that a mod-chip is used to
copy games. *If that's so, then the staffer was absolutely right, I'll get along fine without it. *I thought it
may have been another cheat device like a *gameshark.
Thanks for the information, *I'll not bring it up again.

Good call jerdog, you don't know what a mod chip can do to your systsem, i had a mate have one put in his systsem and after 2 weeks he had to have it removed because the copied games weren't playing anymore. His playstation was never the same again....his games took longer to load and sometimes the games never loaded at all.

GOOD GAMING!!!
