148w ago - The
DemonHades Spanish PS3 Development team has been
working on a project which aims to utilize a mod-chip to run PS1 and PS2 back-ups on a PS3 console without
opening it or
using switches and have posted up a concept video today.
According to one individual with a
highly questionable reputation, this concept project could work because PS1/PS2 discs are authenticated only once on the VSH though liblv2 and the PIC chip would just automate it.
However, if Sony updates liblv2.sprx and more specifically ps1rom.bin so the emulated mechacon is updated it could be patchable.
Finally, to roughly translate from the video's caption:
"This video montage shows the operation of the chip that we are developing to load copies of PS1 and PS2 (if you're retro) in the PS3.
This video shows how to work, without leaving the console open and without switches etc out.

this modchip will work only on the PS3 with the PS2 hardware (so 60Gb PAL for example)
