NME-360 on Hitachi POT to 2.6KOhms, 2nd Batch MachineMade and SS-Merger v1.7

It’s been a week now since the first batch of Team Underdog‘s modchip has been released. Although it has been received with lukewarm enthusiasm by the gaming community, many citing the chips possess mediocre quality. In Team Underdog’s defense, they have this to say:

One more very important fact we found out is that for the Hitachi DJ drives you can even lower the value of the trimpot to 2.6KOhms for perfect media recognition and without harming the laser.

We see a few irrelevant people complaining about the manufacturing of our chips. Just let us tell you that most of the people don’t care whats under the rubber because the final result is even better than expected. In order to get the chips out to the public we needed to choose that kind of manufacturing for the first batch. The forthcoming batches will be machinemade which will of course make us able to deliver much better quantities and the few complainers will be satisfied, too. 😉

People who still have problems patching the SS to the correct address will receive some help from the upcoming SS-Merger v1.7.

As you’ve read, there are a lot of points raised in their recent statement. First is how you can set your POT calibration to as low as 2.6KOhms. Some may not agree with this one, since generally, rule of thumb is around 3.1 to 3.2, but maybe daredevils will go out there and prove if you really can.

Second, is that since there have been “a few irrelevant people complaining” about the manufacturing of the chips (I personally think it isn’t a good idea referring to them as irrelevant), they are releasing a second batch which are now machinemade, to alleviate the quality of the product, as well as to increase quantity.

The backlash of that, I think, is that the first “irrelevant few” that ordered would start to think that they got the raw end of the deal. But maybe if Team Underdog will have a swap scheme, why not? Third, is the future addition of the SS-Merger v1.7, for those still having some difficulty patching the SS to the correct address.
