That's just how I like it don't know about the scph 9001 so whatever lol
It has two ports, doesn't it?
The large one can be used with Gamesharks, Pro Action Replay, and some kinds of modchips. You can do dev stuff through it too, I think (I've heard of modified Action Replay bios's that let you write directly to RAM...very cool stuff).
The smaller port I only know to be used by the serial link cable (the cable I have is called the "combat cable"). Some games support some mode of dual-console play (Armored Core, and I think one of the Bushido Blade games). I think this was sort of an early feature that never really caught on. They may be other uses, too, but I dunno.
i wonder if there was n official use for it tho like sony actually waas makin an add on or somthin. yeah that little serial port i know what thats for my friends used to set up playstations toether
