Title: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: MARIOPARTY53 on March 07, 2009, 10:09:10 AM: First you should already have A jewel and a door ready
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0230-1.jpg&hash=56918ed0e4cff972f4350c6c6efc09ff7aa76f24)You can find a guide for that below
https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=27385.0 (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=27385.0)
Ok you need:
A dreamel
A file
Goggles to Protect your eyes
A pair of gloves
A umd you dont like(or broken)

Alright when you start your cage will look like this
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2Fyhst-8336782827841_2039_79048581.gif&hash=036dd2b2d4e462e1c132fc0c031263be4eae7522)
Alirhgt this is where you need to cut
The red is along where you should cut it, so take a sharpie and lightley mark these areas
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2Fyhst-8336782827841_2039_79048581-1.gif&hash=0b26b853cf86cb2dcd97aa877abc3c76011e458f)
The reason you are cutting this area (shown below)
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2Fyhst-8336782827841_2039_79048581-2.gif&hash=fd3409454548b81f86cb7cb7148ecad206e6dee3)
Is so it replaces this area (shown below again)
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2Fyhst-8336782827841_2039_79048581-3.gif&hash=73e10cca315aeaf61709b696999347e19cbdd35b)
That area just shown lets the umds pop out, but you have to cut this out to see your jewel and game
But the new gap lets it pop up again :dribble:

alright so cut this area
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2Fyhst-8336782827841_2039_79048581-1.gif&hash=0b26b853cf86cb2dcd97aa877abc3c76011e458f)
with these dreamel bits
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0916-11.jpg&hash=30916d148cdb05d4a271a04435b2ea724fa5929b)

When your done it will look like this
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0232-1.jpg&hash=11b29ac1aa9ce64a291635b02e490050ba5ad7c1)

Take your umd you dont like
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0236-1-1.jpg&hash=268e829b458516471cb6b60df0c59f003482b4fa)
And slide it into the cage
If the umd gets marks or scratchs like below
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0235-1-1.jpg&hash=501db498c57e04e346dfd867b0eba22cee13ea32)
Take it out and file the cage untill the umd gos in smooth with out messing up and come out without a problem

Ok take this area below
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0233-1.jpg&hash=f8f30db4ed64793f168dae08481d649e6aa374e7)
And bend it up just a bit

Alright, go test it in the psp, put the door on, see if the umd still pops out without messing up
And also check to see if the umd reads perfect still

If so Your done! and this is what you product will look like
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa193%2FMARIOPARTY53%2FIMG_0234-1.jpg&hash=68332f2758aa317392f460615c7ce71844a26028)

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

Post by: EliteGamer83 on March 07, 2009, 06:22:46 PM: Yeah I know this is for a phat, but I was looking at my slim and it just occurred to me, that the slim door as 2 V shaped metal pieces that look like an X, are the NECESSARY? or can they be removed to add a jewel?

Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: bustinthejustin on March 07, 2009, 06:26:25 PM: I don't think they're necessary. I think they just apply a bit of pressure to the umd.
Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: Jumbo on March 07, 2009, 06:27:44 PM: You can remove that Elite
Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: lookkool3 on March 07, 2009, 07:40:29 PM: THEY ARE NECESSARY!! well kinda it makes it easier to take the umd disc out its hard to explain but the disc gets a little caught and you have to tilt around till you can pull it out
Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: Jumbo on March 07, 2009, 08:45:19 PM: Not at all... They are fine with out them lol

Post by: psp339 on March 08, 2009, 12:27:24 AM: Is that the door from me?
Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: lookkool3 on March 09, 2009, 06:45:38 PM: lol i'm trippin thats the phat when you take out the umd drive it gets a little caught cause it doesn't have the cage :huh: i never took those little metal things off
Title: Re: Tut:How to cut a umd cage (1000)
Post by: rceckspurt13 on March 10, 2009, 06:13:35 AM: That's because those little metal pieces are only on the psp 2000(slim) and the new 3000 model. The phays umd door works much differently.

Post by: EliteGamer83 on March 10, 2009, 06:31:25 AM: In some ways the phat is harder to mod IMO.
