@rama3 Lmao you use the hex editor like a real psychopath... 58 columns. Glad you like it tho! My understanding is the -J systems have different CD firmware (rather than something at the bios level)... is that where the sync bytes check would happen? I don't have a machine to test, but thanks for th...

@squaresoft74 Cheers bud, will get that into the next build. I have an Intel-licensed "1 Megabit (128 K x 8-bit)" from a password cart that works, so chances are good! You know offhand if there's any extra drama or fuckery to get these ones written to? @rama3 Lol not a clue! I just used so...

Hi, that's 8.0.b1 out! I'll put the details on the first post instead of duplicating them! http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75 @Apache Thunder Looks like the middle chip is the rom - AM29F010 A lot of clones will say they're one chip while being another, so I'm not sure right now, but if ...

Thanks for PAL4U!! More re-burns unfortunately I first did Explosive Racing and does not bump the image position up like it says ={ And.. I don't know what IPL does but it stops like interrupts UniROM glitching, Explosive Racing now that I 60hz'd it just like its X-Racing counter-part hangs when ga...

https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/NOTPSXSerial/raw/master/social_card_PNG.png https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/NOTPSXSerial The serial tool for Unirom8 and up. Can be used to flash unirom 8's exe to whatever you're running then flash a rom from there. Supports dumping, binary upload, etc. https://...

Hah yeah, sucks about the screen positioning. I've had a look at how IPLight does it - works quite well, but games like Croc 2 (multiple .exe files) don't work so well! I did have a *lot* of luck with PAL4U (which you apply to the actual ROMs but does a fantastic job) on real hardware... There's the...

Or your WiFi Serial project.. Both of those would be good options.
I think the only real issue here is the PSX connector :p

Yeah, I did buy a few cables, but it was easier just to solder some wires in and screw an arduino to the lid. Some actual cables would be great!

LMAO ffs... best thing was you played for like 11 mins. Thanks though, that's a great list! I've tried a few of these on the new Unirom8 loader and it seems to be doing a lot better. Rationing out CD's right now (my psx works with Tesco brand CDRs and nothing else) but I'll definitely get through th...

More notes for future people. There are some solid reasons to *not* use this approach (.EXE in memory, variables in RAM) 1: You'll need to know your entry point exactly. The ROM area doesn't boot from the start, but rather a pointer to somewhere after the header, and you need to work that out. Simpl...

Yeah definitely. Keep in touch. After talking with Squaresoft74 over on the discord, I am currently adding PAR2 detection and dumping/flashing so it correctly changes bank. Also, siocons now runs at 1036800bps. Silly fast, Ah! That's nuts. Both ways? You got it working with non-genuine FTDIs at tha...

LMAO send me the iso/exe and I'll take a look.
Am writing unirom8 atm (skipping 7 'cause it's jank and I want to move away from assembly)... no promises, but I'll definitely take a look =)

Ahh sweet, looking forward to it ^^

Hah, what you doing? I'm so intrigued?

rama3 wrote: ↑March 3rd, 2020, 8:31 am But neither of the 2 CD boot options work (you probably know this :p).

Lmao, now you mention it... I do seem to have removed the working one
Have a look at UniROM 6 if you need slightly more stable booting.
(I think it's also smaller 'cause stuff's decompressed from rom into ram)

Cheers for the .exe! I've added it to the rom for you: This is a kinda pre-release testy version of Unirom7b, so it's not got all the features, but your bios tool is attached. Hit square and wait a few seconds. Seems to work :) unirom_caetla_plugin.rom unirom_caetlaNTSC_plugin.rom unirom_standalone_...

can't make sense of it Oh man, it's not nearly as complex as it sounds. Basically just tweaking the compiler so the program part runs from ROM but the variables are in main memory. E.g. the code doesn't change, but the variables have to. Normally not a problem 'cause you can just extract an .exe fr...

After a bit of debugging, I got it working :D Will leave some details since there's not much info on this. So the secret ingredient was disabling GP register optimisations. E.g. from this: ccpsx -c -DLINKED_STARTUP -O0 -ounirommain.obj main.c To this: ccpsx -c -DLINKED_STARTUP -O0 -G0 -ounirommain.o...

How small have you managed to squeeze it on the PSX :p? For the original release of the game in 2018 the target was 8 KiB (hence the name) for DOS (compressed with aPACK), since then it grew bigger with every new release. Last year I ported it to PSP and 3DS, I didn't care much about the binary siz...

Hah nice!

Might as well keep a running log of this for that one in case anyone ever runs into the same issue: First thing, you can org things like this: org $1F020710 text group obj($1F020710) section .text,text section .ctor,text section .dtors,text org $80010000 othertext group obj($80010000) section .rdata...
