Re: [DEV] - Flash Boot Rom PS1

That's a pretty sick BIOS ROM mod kit Xrider! I imagine this would be most useful in turning PsOnes into compact development units by storing a serial loader or a customized BIOS menu with serial loading capabilities into BIOS ROM.

Re: sioloader

Huh? This is interesting, I couldn't even get reliable communications to work at 230,400 baud. I suppose it could just be the fact that I was using a CH340 based UART and not an FTDI.

Re: LITELOAD - Yet another PS1 serial loader

Just published LITELOAD 1.2 which has been ported to PSn00bSDK, making it the first homebrew to be ported from an official SDK to PSn00bSDK with only a few modifications done. The switch also made LITELOAD over 50% smaller than the previous versions, which were built with PsyQ/Programmer's Tool SDK....

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

I do not have any plans on adding C# support into my SDK, and I don't have much experience in C# to get a Mono to target the PS1. I don't see the point of supporting it since C/C++ is generally preferred on PS1 development. Meanwhile, I finally published a commit yesterday that adds the long awaited...

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

I've made quite a bit of progress on PSn00bSDK as of late, mainly C++ support which I'm going to push out in the next commit, along with a few bug fixes which I've ran into after further testing on real hardware. I've also done a bit of restructuring to make it a bit more convenient to compile and u...

Re: 17 blocks on memory card

Interesting, but the memory card file system was only really designed to handle up to 15 file entries. It might just be something about the memory card that is screwing with how the BIOS is drawing icons.

Can you actually fill more than 15 file entries on that card though?

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

Lately, I've managed to implement a global interrupt service routine handler that makes handling interrupts a lot easier and Serial I/O support onto PSn00bSDK. Hopefully, I'll be releasing these updates by next week.

You can find more details about it here.

Re: Homebrew AR/PSX blaster like project

ASMPSX and ARMIPS can be used to create expansion ROM programs complete with header data. I even have a cart based CD booter program made using GNU assembler (not recommended) though its quite crude.

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

I'll try my best to keep working on this SDK for as long as I can. I want to make this SDK at least functional enough to make some interesting things with such as getting low-level CD-ROM and better SPU support working.

Re: Homebrew AR/PSX blaster like project

Getting a EEPROM chip to work on the PS1's expansion port shouldn't be too difficult to do. Wiring up the address, data and chip select/output enable should work provided the EEPROM contains some code that the PS1 will execute. The AR and even the Xplorer's design isn't really all that complicated a...

Re: Project Scarlet - My very own 3D engine for the PSX

I haven't done benchmarks between current GCC and the old GCC from PsyQ yet. Though its possible the better optimized library functions in PSn00bSDK might offset the lower performance of current GCC if its slower than old GCC.

This project has been in a bit of a hiatus as of late as my focus as switched to the PSn00b Debugger and PSn00bSDK projects. I'm still considering continuing development of this project but I'm most likely going to migrate it over to using PSn00bSDK instead of the official Programmers Tool/PsyQ SDK ...

Just pushed an update to the main Github repository that adds controller and CD-ROM support using BIOS functions.

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

Likely has something to do with how I'm currently hooking the VSync handler using the PS1 kernel's event system which is not exactly a good way of dealing with VSync IRQs as acknowledging the interrupt there breaks things like BIOS controller support which depends on the VBlank IRQ. PCSXR's high lev...

Re: PSn00bSDK - My very own PS1 SDK project

I just got controllers working using BIOS controller functions which are implemented as _PadInit(), _PadStart() and _PadStop() in the psxapi library. The advantage of using this is it automatically polls the controller data on every vsync but the downside is you can't send data to the controller yet...
