G'Day Shayne,

The modchips are fairly easy to get and not all that hard to install if you're
a deft hand with a soldering iron. If not...get it installed by someone else.
I'm in Adelaide and can help re modchips if you need it.
I found several people installing by searching on Altavista and specifying a
location to narrow the search down.

They're needed to overcome the copy protection on the original psx discs. Also
let you play imported games that are not available in Oz (eg NTSC games).

DAO is best if your burner supports it. I find CDRWIN the software of choice
