Ehhhhh..... I'm not sure..... I thought that 'SCED' was for Sony development discs, that will only run on blue debug units and black net yaroze playstations... (The Net Yaroze Boot Disc is a good example) But I could be wrong. It's probably not even refered to by 'SCED', it might just be ' ' for all I know... Anyway, the point is that the net yaroze playstation doesn't intercept and replace territory codes like the mod chip does, it just accepts them all. FF8 and all other anti-piracy PSX software that comes out in the future will run perfectly fine on the NY PSX because it'll see the country codes it was looking for. However......... This brings back the old "swap trick"... From what I know about the anti-piracy mechanism, the old swap trick would still work fine. And now there are AR replacement roms that make the swap trick possible on all PSX models, not just the 1000 series. So... Peh. Oh well. At least we can now laugh at all of the fools who modified their playstations -- they won't be able to run ANY game with this new protection mechanism built into it, even games from their own territory! HAHA! This new anti piracy CD will really hamper PSX piracy, which is a good thing. I don't know why Sony hasn't been doing this earlier. 'Darco
