Re: PSX Blaster (USB Comms Link)

I can confirm that the PSX Blaster design doesn't work. I simulated the logic in a software and it is wrong, RD_USB goes low require AD17 AND !AD17, which is impossible. Also, the logic voltage are mixed up, some logic chip have 5V, some other 3.5V, and the USB chip receive 5V logic on its pin where...

Re: FreePSXBoot - arbitrary code execution with ONLY a memory card (no game needed)

I had this idea in mind since years, but never took the time to actually work on it, (and I doubt I have the skill to reverse engineer the bios code) so, very nice job on that ! as someone already pointed out, you can use my memory card manager tool to import a save to a memory card easily using the...

Re: Wai Wai Jansou Controller

well, I made several games on the PS1, so I know the C language pretty well but I did not really got in depth low level stuff on the PS1, just relied on the PSYQ SDK for now. I know the no$psx documentation is pretty well documented for low level stuff of the controllers. I might have access to a li...

Re: Wai Wai Jansou Controller

I'm interested in this too, I like strange hardware for the PS1 :)
I just bought a controller like this and hoping to mess around with it so I can display some custom message :D
(I'm not an electronic engineer though, so any help on the protocol is appreciated :D )

Re: Making 3d games with psy-q

I was wondering if you could make a game using psyq that uses the full ps1's graphics potential. Like for example making a game that looks just a good a metal gear solid on the ps1. Is this possible with psyq or do you need a net yaroze system in order to do this can you create a game as good as me...

Re: project help.

indeed, an old version of RPG Maker exist for the PS1, but you have no way of making your own graphics and you have to make the game on the ps1, you cannot export from the PC. I made an RPG myself for the PS1, it took me more than 1 year of work, working full time. http://onorisoft.free.fr/retroshop...

Re: 17 blocks on memory card

Someone recently sent me a memory card save file with a Smackdown 2 save like I can see on your memory card. My memory card reader tool saw this Smackdown 2 save as corrupted, and I wondered why, it's because I did very strict verification in my tool and I discovered that this Smackdown 2 save heade...

Re: Project Scarlet - My very own 3D engine for the PSX

did you do some speed benchmark between your SDK and the one from PsyQ ?
is there a speed improvement using the newer mips gcc rather than the old ccpsx from PsyQ ?
