"I know an AR cart was in development here on this forum with a USB port, but is it still available ?"
Do you mean for PSX Blaster ?

yes

I'm thinking of getting a newer PC and getting rid of my beloved parallel port in the process the only system that I need the parallel port for, is the PS1 with my xplorer FX + caetla so I would like to replace this dev setup with a modern one using USB I know an AR cart was in development here on t...

ok, I finally set up my logic analyser and here is what I got: CMD 01 42 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 DAT FF 73 5A FF FF 00 00 0F 00 CMD 01 42 01 00 0A 00 00 00 00 DAT FF 73 5A FF FF 00 00 0F C0 CMD 01 42 01 00 12 00 00 00 00 DAT FF 73 5A FF FF 00 00 0F 0A CMD 01 42 01 00 07 00 00 00 00 DAT FF 73 5A FF FF 0...

I updated the PS1 version of Zia and Yopaz so they can directly be played using the PSIO flashcart!
(CU2 and BMP cover included)

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...

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
(I'm not an electronic engineer though, so any help on the protocol is appreciated )

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...

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...

I compared the data of the files you posted and here is my finding. The WWF 2 Smackdown (BASLUS-01234) save, which is 3 blocks, contains corrupted data. The first block is correct, the second block is in fact a copy of the "BASCUS-94560TM4MHT" save. and the third block is empty (zeroes) And I think ...

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...

yes, in this one @ 13:30

but the intro is so long that I didn't made it until the playable part, sorry

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 ?

The driver for the "ps3mca-ps1mc" used an old version of libusb's driver that wasn't compatible with 64bits (due to driver signature needed) Now I use the new version of libusbK's driver, which have a signature and works with all version of windows :) I know lots of people complained about the Windo...

I made this tool that allow you to manage your game saves from a Playstation 1 Memory Card on your Windows PC. You can: Read from or write to a real Playstation 1 Memory Card using the official Playstation 3 Memory Card USB Adaptor. Load a Memory Card from multiple file format (*.mc *.mcr *.mcd *.mc...

you should understand what you are doing, this will avoid you headache. on the PS1, you have 2 screen buffers, one that you drawing in, and one that is currently displayed on screen (while you draw on the other), this avoid flickering. The function GsSwapDispBuff swap between these 2 buffers. Now, a...

I had a project to code my own sdk for my favorite console, but when I see all the work you have done on this SDK, I simply can't believe I would have succeeded in doing the same thing myself. This is an awesome achievement you made there, optimized in assembly, with a capable 3D engine, I hope you ...

There is 2 last copy of the game available on my website !
http://orionsoft.free.fr/retroshop/ps1.htm
be quick before sold out !

it's up to you, you have to code your own animation engine.
the simplest is frame by frame, either one frame per TIM, or with a spritesheet of multiple sprite per TIM image.
or sprite composed of multiples mini sprite like Rayman, you have the freedom to do whatever you want.

maybe you should read again my tutorial
http://onorisoft.free.fr/psx/tutorial/tuto.htm
and particularly the "CDRom and Data loading philosophy of my library." section and "Creating a valid Psx CD Image."
