PS2linux hosting PSXSDK with USBSIO

[CyrusDevX]

So I decided I wanted to physically program ps1 software from my ps2. And I finally got a good running Linux system on it. I already started natively compiling binutils-2.13.2.1. Then will go compile gcc-4.3 and build the psxsdk toolchain and SDK. Use my special serial cable I have and upload to ps1 ^^.

This will be awesome if it works lol XD.

That very well could be interesting!

I managed to get binutils 2.13.2.1 and gcc-3.0.3 installed. im working on gcc 4.3 atm ^^.

Compiling GMP6.0.0, then off to rebuild binutils2.13.2.1 and gcc-3.0.3. Then rebuild gmp and mpfr to allow building of gcc-4.3.

working binutils and gcc w/ gmp and mpfr.
on to 4.3 ^^.
Building gcc-3.4.6 on ps2 for mipsel-uknown-elf, then if that works building psxsdk ^^.

Retrying from scratch lol, i messed up to much stuff XD

Lol, it's almost like a rite of passage - installing linux on every console. You're doing god's work, lad.

Speaking of such, there was a Linux port for the PSX. Now that we have a mod that enables 8 MB of RAM for the system, it would be interesting to see if someone can port it and take full advantage of the new memory expansion space. Adding a serial network device, keyboard and mouse is just then the tip of the iceberg

Anybody who's interested in getting runix runningshould reach out to me. I've been looking for others with this interest in mind, we could collab and maybe actually make it happen lol

[CyrusDevX]

I'll look into getting the right compilers for runix. I've also looked into building their special expansion card for usb. I'm working on building my g2bus to PATA hdd board on my dreamcast atm.

Sweet! I tried compiling runic under Ubuntu to no avail, I couldn't tell you the exact error off hand (I'm on my phone), but I can post a screenshot when I get a chance. Just keep in mind I'm an engineering student so my free time is almost nonexistent, but whenever I have the time to spare,bill be working on this...lol

@CyrusDevX, how did you convert the elf to exe, using the included elf2ecoff and then a ecoff to ps-exe ? or some other way? and did you make a memory card hold a filesystem? do you have a example memorycard image?

[LopoTRI]

@CyrusDevX like @CodeAsm said, have you the example memorycard image from runix? or the "psx-mcard.0.8.2.tar.gz" file from runix?
If you or anyone else have it, please can it be uploaded??

I managed to get PSXLinux working, but I am now stuck at the RAM disk stuff (the system issues a kernel panic) because I too need "psx-mcard.0.8.2.tar.gz" for the root filesystem. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, and once it's all working nicely, maybe we can make a GitHub repo for it and just constantly improve on it. Sicklebrick's ASM skills could come in handy to create new libs for it.

Oh, and your PS-EXE CyrusDevX (pslinux-runix-2.4.0.exe), does not work at all.
