I have a NTSC PS1 that has been softmodded to play Bootleg CDs, one of them is a CB-J. If I were to attempt to run on this would it cause serious concerns within the community due to the hardware situation, regardless of whether I run at a competitive level or not?

I would like to know ahead of time so I dont bother learning J in an invalid way.

Thanks

People have been allowed to run on PlayStation 2 consoles that have been softmodded in similar ways to run bootleg discs, I don't see why this would be any different, you should be fine to do so.

Yeah as long as the iso or whatever that's on the bootleg CD hasn't been modified to change in-game stuff, you're fine. There's a crash trilogy bootleg out there that has been ran on and there weren't problems.

Thank you for asking first :) Any other questions you have, feel free to post more or join the crash 1 discord and ask there.
