Lifting pins is scary business, but I managed it and now one of my PlayStations is rocking an sd-loading Xstation ODE!

@SuperSelena64 FWIW pins have only ever broken for me if flexed/bent back and forth several times. Very cool mod tho. ️

@SuperSelena64 do you have a walkthrough of this handy? i wish there were easier ps1 mods out there

[vandorb12@infosec.exchange]

@SuperSelena64 have you seen the vid of that one dude who kitbashed one of the OG ps1 and the smaller psone revisons? Made a whole custom PCB for it!

I haven't seen that, I should try to find it! Remember anything else that would help?

@SuperSelena64 I’ve always wanted to do this mod on my SCPH-1001, but with MiSTer, another mod-chipped PSone, and a Memcard pro to FreeMCboot on, I haven’t found it worth it. Plus, the original laser still works just fine so there’s really little reason to. But it just seems fun to do!

The laser on this guy was going, I considered swapping or recalibrating it, but decided it was best to just go all the way and put in an ODE!
