SCPH-3000: Later machines, no S-Video jack, PU-7 or PU-8
SCPH-1000: Early machines with a PU-7 board Unlike the US and European markets where SCPH-1001/SCPH-1002 covered a wide range of hardware specs the Japanese changed the part number when they changed the hardware. If it's an SCPH-1000 it will have a PU-7 board in it. The video in PAL mode is also about 1% fast compared to a native PAL console but you are unlikely to notice that. The other is that if you want to run PAL games in color you need an RGB video cable because the composite and Y/C outputs will only display in black and white due to an out-of-spec colorburst. One is that when booting non-Japanese discs the console doesn't show that black screen with the PlayStation logo but rather goes straight to the boot screen of the game. There are a couple of other things you should be aware of Swap the disc with the import one (without releasing the door switch)Įxit from the CD player and the disc should boot Hold down the door switch and wait for the console to read the disc Turn on console with no disc in it and go to the CD player You do need an original NTSC:J disc and there is a specific procedure you need to use. It's true for most SCPH-1000s - this was a bug in the boot ROM and it was changed late in the production run so you might be unlucky and get one where it doesn't work.
