Thanks for the descriptions! The broken plastic sounds fixable. It can be difficult to find the correct glue for different kinds plastic though. My favorite dirty trick is using a soldering iron instead of glue, and melt the edges of the broken piece, and then use some spare plastic parts from a rec...

I am afraid that I am also having a habit to investigate those things, like trying to document the most absurd controllers (like fishing controllers) in psxspx. So I would be also interested what is inside of your steering wheel (like any extra stuff like vibration motors or whatever). Oh, a rundown...

Most games are applying patches to the original kernel code. That particular patch is used to fix bug in the interrupt handler of early PSX consoles. In my kernel clone, the opcodes are at different addresses, so the patches won't work when trying to patch opcodes at wrong addresses. However, the ke...

Well it supports analog and negcon standards, and it generally works Ah, I thought information was the resource you were looking for. just the precision of the wheel itself is uh, debatable. Or outright bad, I should say. Then do the ifixit-style thing and take a screwdriver. If it's analog pad/neg...

I would say that Hori has a reputation for having released some controllers that went into mass production - and also a lot of rather obscure stuff that didn't. Did you find any games that seem to support that thing? I would assume that it's capable of mimmicking one or more of the better known stan...

The drive controller has some test commands that can make the spindle motor spin very fast, and it could spin forwards and backwards. Such effects are well possible, and don't mean that you have a mechanical defect. Normally, the drive controller is watching the incoming bitstream, and if it has rea...

Do you really mean derailed like this https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=derail&i ... &ia=images ? The spindle motor isn't on rails. The sled is on rails, but it couldn't possibly derail - unless you are located in a war zone and have observed several direct bomb hits in past some weeks?

The stack does actually grow downwards, so you would want to set it to something like 801FFFFCh. For whatever reason, common values are 801FFFF0h or 801FFF00h. I think 80200000h should also work, although people tend to shy away from using such stack values. I don't know if the heap grows upward or ...

This is wrong, InitHeap3((void*)0x801f0000, 0x00100000);
There is only 64kbyte of memory at 801f0000..801fffff, and your code tries to use 1024kbytes at 801f0000..802effff.
And, I don't know where your stack is located, but it might be also in that region?

In case somebody can't browse github pages, here are the direct download links for the cue, bin, and source code. https://github.com/NewNova88/Hello-EVOKE-PSX-/releases/download/v1.1/psxiso.bin https://github.com/NewNova88/Hello-EVOKE-PSX-/releases/download/v1.1/psxiso.cue https://github.com/NewNova...

Without coding: No, that's not possible. With coding: Yes, it's possible, but only if you have a fetish for complicated self-bondage techniques. It would be easier to write a new game engine from scratch up, or port the existing engine from modern hardware to old hardware. Either way, you won't get ...

Can you explain the game mechanics: How do you gain speed, or lose speed? The obvious ways to gain speed would be: 1) push a button, but paper plain has no engine. 2) dive down, but that doesn't seem raise speed in this game. 3) wind hat would help you to gain speed or height, but there are no visib...

Sorry, multiple controllers per console aren''t yet implemented in no$psx.
It can emulate multiple consoles with one controller each, eg. two player mode with link cable, but I guess that isn't what most people want : [

Crashes are routed to A(40h) SystemErrorUnresolvedException, you can hook the A(40h) function vector at address 300h (=200h+40h*4). At that point, many CPU register are smashed, but their original values should be stored on stack, you can restore them as done in the B(17h) function, that is, like th...

What you are quoting there is about Memory Transfer/Fill commands, that's unrelated to texture pages (and it's a corner case that would happen only if you are (un-)intentionally using invalid parameters in those Memory commands). For the Polygon/Rectangle commands, the texture wrapping occurs each 2...

The main problem seems to have been a dirty lens. That is, the spindle motor is NOT started at all when not sensing reflections from the disc. Either because no disc is inserted, or because of too much dirt. The spin-up and disc detection is now working okay... booting does still hang... I guess it ...

I have replaced some capacitors. The 100uF 6V in front middle looked most visibly bulged, but replacing it didn't change anything. Some of the three 47uF 16V on left side also looked bulged, replacing them seems to have fixed the issue with my reset button (yeah! that issue was bugging me for a whil...

I would expect some kind of change when the lid switch is pressed, as this tells the disc drive to spin doesn't it? As far as I remember, yes, it should spin (at least for a short moment, and then stop spinning if no disc is detected). And, as I remember, Sony didn't bother to start the spindle mot...

Good that you mention those titles without game codes. I don't remember what made me think that there was I-Mode support in that Playstation the Best title, I guess that's been wrong. Also looking at PSXDataCenter, there are these three titles, all with same release date, and with variations of the ...
