Live demo

I've made some improvements on the tools. Performance has been improved when transferring PSX-EXE data. Give it a try!

Hello everyone, I bought one of Dan's PSX serial-to-USB cables a few months ago and wanted to get them working with my PSXSDK demos. However, it looks like PSXSERIAL jumps to a memory address which does not correspond with PSX-EXE's initial program counter. So I wrote my own version of it with a GUI...

So far I've tested GCC 5.2.0 with no issues. In any case, I would always recommend PCSX-R for testing, as it also supports TTY printf debug messages. AFAIK, no$psx does not recognize joypad input on games created with PSXSDK.

Why don't you use the tools PSXSDK already provides to create a valid BIN/CUE image instead of looking at PSXDEV Psy-Q oriented tutorials? I would recommend you taking a look into the Makefile for my video game, specially lines 60-68.

Finally, the problem was the spindle was too much pressed into the motor axis, making it hard for the CD-ROM to spin, but since the spindle was not properly fixed it could also be easily removed. The solution was to remove the spindle, put some glue on the axis and put the spindle again. That defini...

Time for a new video. This time I had to make some important internal modifications because sprites being rendered in bad order (e.g.: aircraft would be overlapping building sprites). Also, aircraft list menu has been simplified quite a lot.

As the topic title describes, I am trying to load an original PSX CD-ROM (FIFA Football 2005 in this case) and try to run it under no$psx emulator, but I get the following error: http://i64.tinypic.com/2wd1107.png http://i65.tinypic.com/5yys90.png Am I probably missing some configuration parameters?...

I've got it working in no$psx to reach the screen with Play / Credits buttons, but then it seems to hang there. Or, wait, does it require two joypads, and is supposed to 'hang' with only one joypad? It should work both with one or two joypads. In fact, also had the same problem with other PSXSDK-ba...

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.
