{"product_id":"playstation-xstation-install","title":"PlayStation XStation Install","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe xStation is an optical drive emulator (ODE) that replaces your PlayStation's aging CD drive with a microSD card slot, allowing you to load your game library directly from an SD card. It functions identically to the original drive with accurate timing, region-free operation built in, and load times that are slightly faster than a healthy disc drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e The xStation is compatible with SCPH-100x, SCPH-300x, SCPH-5xxx, and early SCPH-700x series consoles with PU-8 or PU-18 motherboards. Some early PU-8 boards are not compatible — the only way to confirm is to open the console and check the board number. Boards ending in -11 are not compatible; boards ending in -21, -22, -23, or -41 are. The PSone and late SCPH-700x models are not supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation of the xStation requires removal of any existing modchip. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe mod board required for this service is not included in the service price and must be sourced separately by the customer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a send-in service.
