Playstation GPU reversing [56k Warning]

Meanwhile we receive pictures of decapped GPU (without delayering yet). Old 160 pin GPU and RGB converter http://forum.emu-russia.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=1207 http://forum.emu-russia.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=1206&sid=05138a42fbb413b9ba6d0abd3a86400a Also here is work...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k Warning]

Hello. How far has work on the DMA controller come? There are unused bit fields at the top (bits 31:28) of the DPCR (0x1F8010F0) register. They might belong to a DMA channel, controlled not through the standard registers in the DMAC range, but through dedicated registers in the address space of the...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k Warning]

I continued working on chip. Now my main target is DMA controller. I started from buffer which has 7 blocks with 8bits size. It has 3 address wire and that callow us to store and read 8 different bytes in each block. 8x8x7 bits in total. All data went to this buffer through flip-flops and multiplexo...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

Do you plan to decap GPU, GTE, RAM and SPU later on? I think it'd be even more helpful for emulation than decapping CPU which was already pretty well known. The current theory is that the GTE is part of the CPU. But the CPU is huge, and at the moment, Akari and org are having analyzed the MDEC sect...

Noone ever tried to reverse CPU GTE. Org wanted to do this but he seems to be busy now. Pops-gte is his project too, I dont know if he ever will work on it again.

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k Warning]

These are just pictures where is an actual code like the the code available for CPU and think GTE on Github. Only photos of top level metal is available. This is not enough to start reverse of GPU. If you are interested we can asc our decaper to polish metal and take photo of M! and then polysilico...

Hey Akari, I'd like to help out more with the reversing and posted some stuff on the psxdev.ru board I upload lastest researched data to svn. Most interesting are in 00_control.odg This is core control circuits. Still don't know exactly how they works. Could you maybe have a look? That would be gre...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

Real numbers used for YUVtoRGB conversion are: G=(-88/256 * B)+(-311/256 * R) R=(359/256 * R) B=(454/256 * B) Are you sure? That G formula doesn't look correct to me. According to the tests I ran a year or two ago on my SCPH 7002 unit, it should be: G=(-88/256 * B)+(-183/256 * R) Sorry, my mistake....

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

Quick review about progress: YUV to RGB almost finished. Now I try to finish citcuit that pack converted data to 32bit buffer. Circuit integrated with IDCT control and uses stream of data from IDCT to speedup converting process. Thats overall progress for now ) http://forum.emu-russia.net/download/f...

Real numbers used for YUVtoRGB conversion are:

Code: Select all

G=(-88/256 * B)+(-311/256 * R)
R=(359/256 * R)
B=(454/256 * B)

New update: still trqacing YUV to RGB. Last week it was a bit part of control logic. Now all cells are in upper 05 part, near RLE.

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

A bit of progress on YUV to RGB conversion. Data from UNIT20 (result from IDCT) expanded to 10 bits by duplicate bit 4 and 6. And then used in some multiplication. I can't get second multiplier yet. http://forum.emu-russia.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=1010 http://forum.emu-russia.net/downl...

Akari what's up with it? Do you want to keep it in russian, or are you going to switch to english GUI and agree to translate all pages to english? Maybe some people could help via google translate. Whatever way the translation is done, the goal should be to have all pages 100% in english, and every...

Re: Experimental PS1 Wiki

I don't see why we need a wiki. If you need to find something, just use the search built into the forums. The reason I started psxdev.net was because there are so many PSX 'development' based sites floating around with zero management and are not kept up to date whatsoever. http://wiki.psxdev.ru/ i...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

What I tagged as "constant factor" is actually the factor 8 that is used with the very first element (it's probably 8 in order to compensate for the division by 8 in the following steps). Yes, I can confirm that first value (DCT) left shifted by 1instead of right shifting by 2 as usual va...

Re: Playstation CPU reversing [56k warning]

In the center of the schematic we have the quantization table multiplier that multiplies the data with the elements of the quantization table/matrix. I am fairly sure that this is a variant of the Booth multiplication algorithm where instead of bit slices of length 2, we look at bit slices of lengt...
