ive heard that nintendo are going to or are using a program that detects your mod chip when you go online with your console(microsoft/sony use the same thing apparently),some have claimed your system can be shut down as a result of the chip being detected,some claim that if you use a pirated game while online your ISP is put on record for later investigation,these may just be scare stories but do you really want to run the risk of possibly damaging your console?and do you really want to risk breaking copyright law?,ultimately its your choice in the end on wheather to get the chip or not

the process of " chiping " does have a few advantages, it's a simple task if you have experience with electronic boards. a mate of mine at work has done several including ps's. what needs to be done is aquire the diagrams for the internal cuircitry and obtain the replacement chip which i have been informed cost roughly £3 to £8 pounds. the new chip has to be soldered into the exact position and wires are fed from the chip and attatched to the internal circuitry, this task has to be performed with the greatest of care so as not to "arc the circuits and blow the board, if these steps are performed correctly the only thing that is left to do is to upgrade the firmware of the new chip. i know of people who have paid to have this work done for about £30
