The unit came as a complete deck. I only had to unplug the cables, place in the new unit and connect the cables again. It's also failing to work using other CD-ROMs.

Today I have received my new KSM-440BAM, but my SCPH-102 unit still cannot read any CD-ROMs. You can see the CD does not touch the CD reader surface, so what could it be causing the problem?

Some more progress. This time, also a funny bug happening at the end of the video...

Some more work

Hi everyone, From one day to another, my SCPH-102 decided not to work anymore. The console features a one-year-old Chinese-manufactured KSM-440BAM CD reader. There seem to be two problems here: 1. I dissassembled the unit and I saw that the disk is not spinning freely since the two tiny screws below...

I have added a new, much lighter BIN/CUE image directly on Github (the other >100 MB image was not allowed by Github size limit constraints). Also, I have made some small bugfixes which should fix the hangs caused by loading files. Since y'all have stated that padding is not an useful technique, I w...

The image was made this big on purpose with garbage data (what is usually called like "padding"). I was told that it was easier for the PSX CD-ROM reader to read CDs with more data, and that even some commercial games used this tecnique, as well. On the other hand, Deathball was tested on PCSX-R, pS...

Any thoughts?

My advice is not to take this too seriously. PS1 has always been a tough console for homebrew, hence the small community even in its golden age.

Thanks a lot, Shadow! Your support is encouraging me to keep on this project.

In my opinion, modchipping has never been easier. One can get modchips for less than 10US$ and solder them in less than a few hours. It only requires you to be careful, but it's an easy task nevertheless. Shamefully though, although if PSX is actually being played a lot (see how many gameplay videos...

maybe PSX1 (500 CDs with booklet, manual, signature) version too. forget it, you will sell less than 10. I made a 16bits RPG called Zia and the goddesses of magic, available on my website: http://orionsoft.free.fr/retroshop/ps1.htm I sold about 15 units ... same for my puzzle game Yopaz IceStar, ar...

Added link to BIN/CUE image! Tested under real hardware (PSOne), PCSX-R and ePSXe.

Enjoy!

PCSX-R also allows console output. Just activate these two check boxes on "CPU Config" window:



Could it be possible to modify PCSX-R's source code to allow ELF files with debugging symbols so as to run it using GDB?

Me and a few mates participated on this year's Global Game Jam, and we decided to create a PS1 in less than 48 hours! The result was a 2-player versus arcade game featuring two beach balls fighting for their lifes! Source code link: https://github.com/Galbar/GGJ-2017 BIN/CUE image: https://github.co...

My copy of "Zia and the Goddesses of Magic" finally arrived yesterday.

Hello there, I was looking at Nocash PSX documentation and I noticed about the use of multi-threading in PSX games. I certainly know what multi-threading is and what advantages and disadvantages it brings, but... are there any known PSX commercial/homebrew game or app out there which actually made u...

I admire your dedication, Orion. Just take it easy and spread your work to every corner.
