Installation guidelines for the Undiluted Platinum PSP Modchip have been released. As mentioned in the PDF document (downloadable below) this procedure is not intended for amateurs - it’s wise to have the installation performed by a skilled professional.
- Installation is for skilled professionals ONLY and should not be attempted by amateurs.
- Removal of the soldermask is the most difficult and hazardous part of the installation and requires the most patience.
- The PSP motherboard contains highly condensed traces and components which means a visual aid such as a microscope or magnifying glass will be required. We recommend the use of a video or optical microscope.
Also, the first shipment of U.P. PSP Modchips has arrived at the ModchipStore, unfortunately they’re all sold out from pre-orders. Nonetheless you can pre-order one from the next shipment scheduled for arrival June 30th!

Fuck that mod. Just play your PSP and be happy.
Lol and why is that? Cause you cant install it your self? Cause you dont have the money to let it install for you? Dont reply to the news post if you only want to flame it, makes you look like a 12 year old retard..
you have to shave down the board and all kinds of crazy stuff a local modder told me its a real pain 10 wires have to be solder like a hair away from each other very hard to do the guy is charging 175 to install with the chip. im happy with my1.50 it plays all games but outrun so who cares 1.50 rules no mod need it
Good Luck…I’ve done installs for the last 2 years and i can tell you this is not for the beginners, There are no pogo pins for this one…You will FUCK UP YOUR PSP…Guaranteed. Imagine doing 10 D0’s on a Xbox.
“We recommend the use of a video or optical microscope.”
This say’s it all….
omfg i think i will get modchipstore to install this 1 for me
yeah.. this things way to hard to install for most ppl.
But the good thing is say you bought a 2.7 psp and cant play shit then later on instead of buying a new 1.5 for like $300 you could just pay $200 for this thing and they’ll install it for you.
On the other hand if you only buy it for $99+ then try putting it on urself and break it + your $200+ psp then your screwed!
Still think a 1.5 is still cheaper than buying a 2.7, buying a Modchip, then paying someone to install it for you. Purely an “If you have a 2.7 PSP” sorta thing.
Things are getting smaller, just look at what they cramped into such a little case. Im not suprised you need a pro to install it.
Great idea, but price, solder and then a Video Telescope… who in the hell has a Video telescope sitting in their closet? Oh wait a sec darling just of to get my Video Telescope from the closet won’t be long. Yer right.
I’ll stick to my unmod 2.71 and won’t have the worry of waiting to see if sony make a firmware to screw this thing up. Yer remember once installed there is no going back, and what one man makes another breaks.. it’s only time will get you by the balls.
This is bootleg, i recall it at one point talking about how easy the installation process will be.
look no mod chip is easy to install the first revision, it takes a while one they figure out where all the traces go they might be able to make one that installs better, plus they give you guides to make shave the traces why not use them to solder, makes not getting solder eveywhere good, also there is a “solder sheild” on the traces so if you get a little solder on them it will still work.
So will this site be hosting a nand-dump.bin of 1.5/1.0 made using the software supplied by UP!??!
To the guy that says sony will eventually make a firmware that will break the modchip. Cmon man, thats BS and you know it. Look at the community, sony releases updated firmwares all the time, and it hasnt stopped anything. If they were to release an updated firmware it wouldnt make any impact at all. For one, the people that are getting mod chips installed would know not to upgrade, and two, if they did want to upgrade all they would have to do is wait for a dump of the firmware to be release and upload it to there chip. Or in a worst case senario, they would have to wait for the firmware to be cracked then upload it to there psp. Just look at the community now, firmwares have been updated on the psp from day one and people are still playing homebrews and developing software for the psp. Its only the small few people that cant afford to mod/install the mod chip that are talking down on it because if they had the money to do it they wouldnt have anything bad to say about it and would get theres chipped.
you’re right!! the possibilities of this modchip can’t be seen right now but they’re immense. and there will always be cowards that don’t want the progress… or don’t believe in it!
I will get this modchip and will have it installed anyway!
will the U.P firmware be able to be corrupted?? will the frmware on the up be able to “brick”?
To #2
Nice job flaming the guy yourself.
Back to the topic.
Sounds like a great idea, even though I already have 1.5, It might help someone out in the future.
