Awesome thank you. I managed to get CAETLA .38 flashed on there but I don't have any codes. What do I do in order to get codes on there now?

I see. I need to create a bootable cd I guess. Never done that before. Are there instructions floating around some place?

Gagh. Ok. So no go on using XP?

Anything?

I'm doing this on a Dell Optiplex 760. I'm not having much luck. It just hangs no matter what I do.

OK. I bit the bullet and installed XP on an older machine I had sitting here but for the life of me I can't get it to work. It gets as far as looking for the device in CAEFLASH but that's it. Right now I'm using the command:

CAEFLASH -P10 -T -XT

It just sits there.

Or better, is there a way to load codes via the memory card ports or something?

I see. Does someone sell one or something? Unfortunately I sing have the skills to make one myself.

Ok. So I have a caetla flashed action replay. From what you wrote I can plug directly into the parallel port on the pc and send from there. Is that correct? This is mainly to send cheat codes.

Is there a diagram or something that shows how to use a regular parallel port with an action replay? Isn't there something that you have to do in order to reduce the voltages?

I see, but are there files for Japan/US/EU floating around or would I have to just DL a whole mess of codes and stick them into a file?

I see. I was hoping there was some all encompassing file b/c I've got a slew of japanese and american games.

Is there a place I can get a cheat file to update my Xplorer with new codes? I haven't fired this thing up since 1997 and I'd love to get it going again.

Ok cool. I'm happy with that. Is there a good codes list I can DL and transfer to this thing?

PM me...I'll see what I can do.

I was given one of these way back in 1997 at E3. I was wondering about the hardware in it. One of the Devs mentioned that it could be plugged directly into the parallel port of a PC but I'm too nervous to try that. Does anyone have experience with these things?

They are...I went ahead and got another unit for the princely sum of $15 working. Now I just have to solder in a mod chip. I might take you up on it likeabuaus though, since this is one of the original PSX units from Japan.

What do you do to repair anyway?

I'm here stateside. Not sure if sending it out is an option for you if you're in Australia.

Oh my. How do I do that?

When I start the unit is when it is having problems. I would think that it is all audio, however, when it plays a video, it is significantly lessened like in RE3. I made a video here:

Does that help?

I dusted off the PSX in anticipation of getting a PSIO, when I plug it in, there is some awful audio coming from the thing, through the audio ports on the back. This is one of the very original units, bought in Japan in 1995 slightly after release. It has a mod chip in it. Any suggestions? I opened ...
