Ps3 cecha00

[newageretrohippie]

So, i just scored a cecha00 (japanese full hardware) ps3 on ebay, and i wonder if anybody has any suggestions. Im not entirely sure i want to mod it, but im not entirely sure i dont.

it came with 3 games but i guess it only plays japanese ps3 games out of the box, but it will play any ps1 or ps2 game (not that i have any, anymore :P)

what say y'all...?

I'd recommend soft modding the system. The CECHA00 models are known for having a 90 nm RSX, which has given them a reputation for high failure rates compared to the Slim and Super Slim model PS3s.

Soft modding will allow your system to play games of any region, play backups of PS1, PS2, PS3, and some PSP games. The fan speed can also be altered if modded, which can help keep the RSX running for as long as possible. In the case of fat model PS3's, they can all be soft modded, and there is little benefit to keeping your system in its stock form if you plan to use it.

If you have not heard of the website consolemods.org, it is a fantastic resource that gives plenty of information regarding the system's architecture and modding capabilities. The site details how you can mod the system, which only requires a PC and a USB along with your PS3.
