Re: Datel's VMEM Addon (other questions too)
interesting, if it based on replacing of bios calls, which work around mem-card device (like INIT, READ, WRITE), so it might be possible to redirect it to work like V-mem with other external devices))

Yeah, it's not 100% dead, and the problem maybe in lens, motor, or something else in mechanics, like it load data from center of the disc, but when heal go to out corner of the disc it fails.. especially it relate to FMV fre...

Re: MicroSD Memory Card Emulator
we plan do some thing to save mem card on SD. through ps1 lib access to mem, and read/write sata to SD by psio.
another interesting idea would be emulation by psio memcard as-is, but i see ppl dislike solder wires, so it'll better start from first idea above, just move data to SD.

Re: How to dump your CDROM BIOS (Firmware)
thanx for reply!)
i think if it writes int flag 0x18. it off firing INT line from dsp, and maybe chk for INT status manually. i found and dis-asm this code. as i see it uses no-standard cdlib code. maybe asm/C mix)) and direclty send commands and check INT cdreg.

Re: How to dump your CDROM BIOS (Firmware)
no$cash: can you tell more if you found any signs about extra INT bits. i mean, normally it uses mask of 0x7 (for int1,2, 3,4,5). but there are two last bits (0x8 and 0x10). you told about one of them, used as cmd-acknowledge flag. did you see something about it in dis-asm code? i saw in Resident ev...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]
about EOF flag, just idea. maybe this bit make from 0x64 to 0xE4 , and we need play as xa and send as data at same time (int1) to let know mips-cpu program "this is the end"?

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]
i just thougth LC mechanism uses only combination seekl+getposP. but i see it uses read 1b.
just some games send getposP 10 times or so, after seekP, just wondring if i need update or increment pos. , or it stays on same pos, and only frame changes around last position of seeking..
