How to get Personified Fear, Fearful Harmony, or Forbidden Image on your PlayStation 1

I'm weird. This is exactly why I'm telling you how to do this.

What you'll need:

CHIPPED CONSOLES

  • Modchipped PS1

    • And either the following:

  • PC CD-ROM game
  • PS2 CD-ROM game
  • Corrupted PS1 game

    • NON-CHIPPED CONSOLES

  • PS1
  • Tape / Toothpick

    • And either the following:

  • PC CD-ROM game
  • PS2 CD-ROM game
  • Corrupted PS1 game

    • Alright, let's begin with the modchipped PS1 folks, for you that were courageous enough to do it.

    Personified Fear (CHIPPED)

    Either put a PS2 CD-ROM or a corrupted PS1 CD-ROM into the system. It's that easy. (Keep in mind that PS2 CD-ROMS will take significantly longer to load than a corrputed PS1 CD-ROM, since the PS2 CD has more data. I'd go with Half-Life for a 3:30 wait time.)

    Fearful Harmony (CHIPPED)

    First, please check that your chipped console's model number is either "SCPH-5xxx" or "SCPH-1xxx". It will not work if you don't have those numbers.

    Just put a PC game in there and boot it up. Wait 30-60 seconds for the song to start after the broken PlayStation logo appears.

    Forbidden Image (CHIPPED)

    Please check that you have model number "SCPH-10x", or models that are not "SCPH-5xxx" or "SCPH-1xxx". This will instead trigger Fearful Harmony otherwise.

    Put a PC CD-ROM into the disc drive. The PlayStation logo will break.


    We're now done with the chipped users. For non-chipped users, this will be more difficult.

    Personified Fear (NON-CHIPPED)

    For Phat PS1 users, please place pieces of tape where the 2 drive pegs meet the back buttons on the back of the drive cover.

    For slim users, put a toothpick under the eject button and have it press the button under it.

    Put a legal PS1 disc into the drive with the lid open, and turn on the PS1.

    When the disc speeds up after spinning, immediately place the PS2 CD-ROM or corrupted PS1 CD-ROM in the drive without closing it. (Keep in mind that PS2 CD-ROMS will take significantly longer to load than a corrputed PS1 CD-ROM, since the PS2 CD has more data. I'd go with Half-Life for a 3:30 wait time.)

    Fearful Harmony (NON-CHIPPED)

    Same setup steps as above. Also, make sure you have "SCPH-5xxx" or "SCPH-1xxx", otherwise it will just do Forbidden Image.

    When the disc speeds up, take it out and put in the PC CD-ROM game. After the corrupted PlayStation screen appears, wait 30-60 seconds for Fearful Harmony to play.

    Forbidden Image (NON-CHIPPED)

    Do the same setup steps as PFear. Also, make sure you have "SCPH-10x" or "SCPH-9xxx", or this will just go to Fearful Harmony.

    When the disc speeds up, take it out and put in the PC CD-ROM game. A corrupted PlayStation screen will appear.
