Does anyone have the diagrams or instructions to make the switch that turns the mod chip on and off? Thx in advance

turn on the psx, and hold down the reset switch for 6 or 7 seconds. that'll shut down the stealth IV mod chip.

I know that but theres two probs with that. 1 I have a 4 wire chip not the Stealth. 2. If you press reset not only will the game restart but it won't play because the chip is off. I'm looking for the instructions to build a switch so I could have it on when the game boots up and then I could turn it off so it doesn't get detected. Thx for your help anyways.

hey!! i wrote that about the internal switched mod chip!. i am the creator. just hook up a minuature continuos tago switch to the power wire on the mod chip (i think most any pin will do tho), just break one of the wires, add extensions, and then send the wires out thru the little vents on the side of your psx, and attatch them to the tago switch. on and off like a light.

Jeex is right, what you require is a DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) toggle switch. Cut the wires to pins 1 and 8 of the mod chip and put the switch in line, this will completly isolate the power to the mod chip doing exactly what you want to do.

Just to add to spookys solution, you need only cut EITHER the wire at pin 1 OR at pin 8 as these are the wires that power the chip (1=V+) (8=V-), then put the switch in between the two pieces of the wire you have cut.
As I have tried to demonstrate below !!!!!

Hello I'm wondering if the switch will work with the console source stealth II chip this chip uses eight wires Please let me know Ive backed up crash bash but it detects the mod chip my game is ntsc Please let me know and I will do the modification right away. also do you think this will work with the back up or only the original. Thank you

nah. i dont think it will. the only reason i really have it on there is to play originals with mod detection (if the need ever arises). anyhow.. i have another post in this message forum called "challenge me ---", it has the solution on getting past the "crash bash" mod detection.

Does it matter if its Dpst or Dpdt? I couldn't find any of the 1st kind.

OK thanks alot Jeex and Spooky! I have just finished installing the switch, Ya I know it took me a while. But this after noon I bought the parts and installed it. Works perfectly. Do you know the timing of when I should turn it off to load thoes anti mod games?
