That makes sense now. Assume the mapping of the switch into ROM is done by the GAL/PAL? I only have 256k flash parts on hand anyway so that shouldn't be a problem. I do remember you looking at the AR carts and USB transfer a while back..do you know how hard would it be to implement the contents/mapp...

Thanks Trimesh,

I shall give this a go. The seller of the PSone on eBay mentions running Caetla - by patched would I be able to just flash caetla?

Would I be correct in assuming that if I use a supported flash part, and wire up W/E I should be able to flash it using xflash?

Thanks

Interesting... https://www.ebay.com/itm/PSOne-CAETLA-0-34-SCPH-102-PS1-gameshark-action-replay-cheat-codes-/233062693491 Looks like it is just a PSone with one of these fitted.. https://assemblergames.com/threads/hardmod-or-softmod.66268/ Anyone know an easy way to make one? Quite fancy having PSXSe...

More speed improvements. Now transfer speed is the same as using a CP2103 USB UART, with 100% reliability. Have started on the console mode, that will be a command line option so whether or not it goes into console mode post-execution. Also, got sick of constantly reloading the PSXSerial CD, so swap...

Made some more adjustments to the transmit part of the code. Now the transfer speed is around 5x faster than in the video with the ESP8266->PSX connection still at 115,200bps. Also, need to code in the handshake... it works at the moment due to their being a 2 second delay after sending the sync byt...

And we have success! Fair bit to do, polishing up the client side, speed improvement and console mode. Then going to add serial support to the code so its a dual purpose tool, as I think the only other linux client for Psxserial is the java based one. The Python code is horrible, with no checking of...

Further to the above. Went trying to log serial activity to work out the protocol, and remembered that someone on here documented it.. of course, Shendo did this years ago... @rsoft: Yup. As I said I used SerialMon to capture data and analyzed it. The protocol is basically this: 1. Send sync byte (0...

Started work on the client.. promising start. Currenly written in Python3 so will run on Windows/Linux easily. Only using standard modules so setting up should be fairly trivial.

Hi Chris,

Did you manage to test the output from your setup on real hardware at all? I have a nice linux machine setup for this and was going to give it a try.

Just to add,

there are other forked versions of dosbox that support this, I just chose DosBox-X as it seems to be the most actively maintained and works on Linux.

You could also try DosBOX Megabuild or one of the other builds from here :- https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds

Hi All, Not sure if anyone has tried this before, didnt see anything documented anywhere so thought I would give it a go. Anyway, some forked versions of dosbox have parallel port passthru, which works in both Linux and Windows. I tried with DosBox-X, which is a port that adds loads of extra feature...

Looking at source for the Windows client for psxserial, it looks fairly simple, I have added some annotation. public void SendExe(string path, string com) { string text = path; // sets path to file to load byte[] array = null; // set up empty array for data SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort(com...

Now back on with this after a hiatus of over a year. I have been doing testing and can send bytes straight through the ESP8266 to the PSX at 115.2k without any loss. ESPLink does the job pretty well so cannot see the point of rewriting that - it also supports AVRdude over IP so its pretty robust. La...

Hi guys, If i buy Dragon Hacker i can use it for UniRom? I searched on google but it seems almost zero information about it. Do you have some information? Should i buy it to test "for the community"? Doesnt matter about the cart - its the flash part that it contains that needs to be suppo...

Easiest one I found was actually activating by telephone... always works no matter where I got the key from. I think after a while Microsoft stop actually caring after a while as I had the same with Office 2010.

Hi, If you are running the board inside the PlayStation you just need to solder the connections inside. The easiest way to do this is by using the connections on the motherboard for the SIO connector underneath. Alternatively, you could also look at the schematics for your machine and find some test...

I'll add my bit... Not sure how you can do it as I am not 100% certain that circuit will actually work with any of the standard ROMS and I am not entirely sure how you would bang out the Caetla protocol over a USB Fifo - there isn't anything in there to latch the data. USB isn't great at that kind o...

I would reactivate windows and reinstall the vmware addons... if the version of vmware is different from the version it was created in the VMware additions wont work correctly.

Windows XP activation - there are plenty of WPA activators around.

Cool,

What are your plans for the software client and ROM? Interesting stuff.

Sorry, am I missing something? You asked for recommendations , you got pointed in the right direction. Then you said you wanted specific parts - I gave you some motherboard model numbers - but they you say thats not your concern. So, what exactly is your question? It seems to me you need help deciph...
