/vr/ - Retro Games

Just found out my pvm was shipped via fed ex.

Hold me /vr/

I've spent the last hour attempting to disc swap for an import I bought for a friend, Mermanoid, on PSX.

I've watched videos throughout the last week - and we've watched videos as we've attempted to get this disc to load into the console but we're not able to get anything to appear.

In a nutshell after the second swap it seems the NSTC-J game is causing problems. The disc keeps spinning at 2x after the third swap.

My console is a SPCH-7501 and from what I've read is that the disc swapping method works regardless of which console we are using.

At this point I think it's time to mod the console ourselves.

I'm seeing MM3 mentioned in this thread. I did a google search and I'm seeing links to EurAsia - is there a specific chip I should be buying?

I apologize if I sound clueless. I'm just trying my best to get this import to work for my friend since the game was a birthday gift.
