Interesting (SDCard on PS2 via SIO)

On looking into examples of other peripherals being hooked up to the playstation, I came across this..

Looks like someone has something working (at least as a proof of concept) on the PS2..

Re: PSXSERIAL USB Cables

no problem. I did write a guide on here. If you struggle following it let me know I will help you build one then edit the guide. The hardest part of the whole build is just working out which pin in the connector belongs to which colour wire in the cable assembly. I was quite lucky, I managed to buy ...

Re: PSX Keyboard and Mouse Adaptor (SCPH-2000 Prototype)

Rather than mimicking the existing adapter, it should be achievable with a low end atmega 328 or 32u4 or something. All support SPI as they can be used to accept control from Joypads or in Shendos project, a memory card. Would be pretty cool to get a plug-in working for arduino so we could actually ...

Re: Hi folks!

Yaroze creates ecoff binaries that are linked against LIBPS.EXE - this is the standalone yaroze library - basically this contains libraries. Its quite big (400kb from memory). It can be quite limiting in functions and by its RAM usage. PsyQ uses its own libraries, and creates its own EXE's that can ...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Experiments

Gotta make use of those 30 boards somehow! :p Well, I'm sure it can be done. Even if the GPIO run out, there's always multiplexer or some other trick. Do you think a transparent Serial bridge over WiFi could upset the Serial communication? Data can be transferred in large chunks, but there's regula...

Re: ESP8266 Wifi Experiments

I have a Wemos D1, but dont need the extra functionality so far. I only need the UART pins for a serial bridge and the power is perfect for the 3.3v power output of the serial port. I use the ESP-01 because I have 30 of them on hand and my plan was to integrate it into a small PCB that slots straigh...

Re: PSXSERIAL USB Cables

Hi, Basically its down to the cost of a "Genuine" FTDI232 - price would probably be around double the price. You can achieve the same by using another UART and something to invert the handshaking signals such as some 7400 series logic - but this is extra work and more cost so the price bas...

Re: Hi folks!

Thats his page, hasnt been updated in decades. I am pretty sure he used to have the source as part of the download. But basically all the "piss" menu system does is load the rom file into the correct memory address, it loads LIBPS into memory and executes the Yaroze binary (just as you wou...

Re: Hi folks!

Yeah the emulator itself wasn't written.by them, just the menu that loaded the ROMs.

If I remember correctly, the emulator was written by someone called Bero, who also wrote a PC Engine emulator also.

Re: Hi folks!

Hey hello and welcome!

When you mention that old school PISS emulator, do you mean that CD that was doing the rounds with the master system emulator on it? Think that was released by a team called 'PISS' or something.

Anyway welcome :0)

ESP8266 Wifi Experiments

Have been meaning to have a go at this for a while, just never really got around to it. As you will probably know, Espressif make the popular ESP8266 and ESP32, the former was launched as a simple Wifi -> Serial bridge that could be controlled with a slightly modified version of the Hayes AT command...

I know this is digging up an old thread (sorry), just my intereest in this seems to get re-ignited every six months or so.

I would love this to get some traction.. we have other devices these days such as the ESP32 which has Wifi and Bluetooth, as well as supporting upto 4/8mb PSRAM.. could have a simple webserver for EXE u...

Re: PSXSERIAL USB Cables

Hi, No they do not work with the Yaroze tools - the cable works with all the other tools (psxserial and shendo's tools etc) This requires the handshaking lines connecting up (RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR) and the signal inverting. I do have one of these cables but I use this myself so its not for sale. They cost...

This works perfectly for me. (There is some info on how to do this with a PSone in the link in my signature if you cant f...

DIY Joypad using Arduino or some other MCU

Hi All, I know there are quite a few projects around that use PS1/PS2 joypads for control, probably due to the protocol being reversed and the quality of the joypads. My question is, has anyone ever achieved this the other way around? Does anyone know of any examples of someone actually making a PS1...

Yes, I still have for sale. They are made by myself using new parts.
