Credits and Sources

This PlayStation reference section was written as original content for A-Hackers-Guide. The explanations, matrices, and answers here were composed in our own words to be accurate and accessible, rather than copied from any single source.

Inspired by the community

Modding the original PlayStation is possible because of decades of collective documentation, reverse engineering, and tutorial writing by hobbyists. Our understanding draws on the broad body of community knowledge that has accumulated around modchips, optical drive emulators, and homebrew development. Where we describe a tool such as PSNee, xStation, the Terraonion MODE, or PSn00bSDK, the credit for that work belongs entirely to its original authors and maintainers.

Attribution

General reference material was informed by widely available community documentation, including resources maintained by ConsoleMods and other long-standing wikis, forums, and project pages. We are grateful to the maintainers and contributors of those projects for keeping accurate information freely available. Full source attribution is recorded in the accompanying Credits.txt file that ships with this section.

Using this content

This material is provided to help enthusiasts preserve and enjoy hardware they own. Always respect copyright law: modding is for backups of software you legally possess and for running original homebrew, not for piracy.
