NO$PSX V2.1 Released (20th Aug 2022)

Post by nocash » August 23rd, 2022, 9:01 pm

Heya, I've been away from psx scene for a while, anyways here's a new no$psx & psxspx update.
http://problemkaputt.de/psx.htm - no$psx homepage

The main theme for that update are File Formats. Why? I just thought I would have a quick look at "what is on a CD?", and then I somehow couldn't stop and got entangled in documenting & supporting hundreds of archive formats and dozens of compression methods and bitmap/texture formats (mostly for games that were on Playstation Magazine demo discs, plus some more titles).

The Filesystem viewer In debug version (menubar, Window, Filesystem) will show the whole cdrom content as tree view (which can be neatly browsed with cursor keys: up/down=select, left/right=browse child archives/folders). The window at the bottom shows a hexdump/bitmap of the currently selected file. It doesn't go deeper into game specific formats or models, but it's quite nice to break down cdrom archives into smaller pieces & to get an idea which files are where.

The file formats are also documented in CDROM File Formats chapter in psxspx... which does now come in two versions (the whole document in one htm file, and all chapters in separate htm files, the latter tends to load faster in web browsers).
http://problemkaputt.de/psxspx-contents.htm - PSX Spex, multipage HTML version
http://problemkaputt.de/psx-spx.htm - PSX Spex, whole doc HTML version

Apart from the file formats stufff, there are also some emulation fixes and some new debugger features.

Thanks for the new update of your emulator nocash nice. But there are some missing info on your CDROM Disk Image Formats.

.CHD - CHDMAN is made by Aaron Giles of MAME. It's named Compressed Hard Disk but later he change it to Compressed Hunks of Data. Now there 5 versions of chd, the v1-v4 uses same algorithm but he completely change the algorithm in v5 and it's the latest one. v5 uses cdzl (cd zlib, deflate), cdlz (cd lzma), cdfl (cd flac). It's for cdrom compression algorithm only I don't know what approach he used for the hard disk image but you'll see it if you use the DOS CHDMAN app. It's a lossless type compression that allows random-access and can also be decompress using the app. It's compression ratio exceeds .CSO and .GZ compression. The latest CHDMAN works in win98 because it's just a simple DOS app you don't need to use the MAME emulator. If you need the CHDMAN just tell me I can upload it here.

.PBP - Sony's official disk image format for PSP but they also use this to compress single disc psx games and combine multiple disc psx games (like Final Fantasy 7-8 with 4 disc) into one .PBP from their official online store.

Quoted from redditor Zapeth about .PBP

//To be fair there are actually two different kinds of PBP files/formats, the official proprietary one from Sony and the bastardized, reverse-engineered public one that is similar enough to be loaded on a PSP.//

//The official one features a different kind of compression for both data and audio tracks, and at least the latter offers better compression ratio than CHD (presumably at the cost of the audio compression being lossy, unfortunately we don't know because it is still unknown how the audio data can be decompressed).//

//The public one just uses standard zlib compression on the entire disc, so it is bound to have less efficient compression ratio compared to the CHD format.//

Many thanks for this update and glad to see you back, amazing work as always ! :)
On the other hand i can't get any game to boot when using any retail bios with this release (2.0 is fine).
It won't pass the first white Sony boot screen unless using the Bios intro skipping option or the BIOS clone instead.

Also Parasite Eve 2 is still broken sadly and won't go further than the intro movie.

I'm happy to see an update! I really like the emulator's debug features.

In v2.0 it seemed to set mode A0 (read full sectors) which is unusual and then it just repeatedly tries to read LBA 462 ( 00:08:12 ) forever.

CHD and PBP sounds interesting, especially if they provide some reasonable compression with random access, data and audio compression, and filtering out sector headers and error correction stuff.

For CBD source code, I've found this: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/ma ... chdman.cpp (this is called "CHD compression frontend", where "frontend" seems to mean "commandline interface").
And this https://github.com/mamedev/mame/tree/ma ... c/lib/util (this seems to contain more low-level functions for the actual sector handling... and seems to include some ECC error correction support).

For PBP source code, I've found this: https://github.com/RupertAvery/PSXPackager (I haven't looked too closely at it yet).

Are the CBD and PBP formats documented anywhere, describing file headers etc? Or would one need to rev-engineer them from the above source code (or is there some other/better/more relevant source code somewhere)?

Yes, having a win98 compatible build of the CHDMAN tool would be nice! Or some sample CHD / PBP disc images with some small data and audio tracks (best something that is free... and it doesn't need to be for PSX, a DOS CDROM image would be fine either, as long as it's a CDROM, not a HDD image).

Thanks! I've looked into it, and figured out what's wrong: The DMA interrupt flags in DICR.bit24-30 do trigger when enabled in DICR.bit23 (but do NOT need to be enabled in DICR.bit16-22; but no$psx did incorrectly insist on that those bits to be enabled, too).
I am quite glad to have fixed that! The old no$psx versions did use some ugly emulation tweak for getting videos in Alone in the Dark IV running... that tweak isn't needed anymore with the improved DMA interrupt emulation : )
I'll upload a bugfix soon (after looking into other bug reports).

Hmmm, yeah, that's still happening. I'll try to find out if it's a setmode issue, or cdrom issue, or timing relate

Format documentation?

For CHD, there are some specification but the info isn't completely detailed. I can ask Aaron Giles on his social networking accounts if he still have all the info.

For PBP, some programmers try to rev-engineer it but it's half failure. Why? because it works on the native built-in PSX emulator of PSP like how an official PSN eboot works, failure because they don't know what type of compression is used in audio and video. They don't know if it's lossy or lossless and they don't know how to decompress it.

File headers?

For CHD

https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/ma ... util/chd.h

For PBP

https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Eboot.PBP

Oh I forgot about this, PBP is also called Eboot.PBP. All PSP/PSX-PSN games needs to be renamed to Eboot.PBP in order to work on a real PSP hardware. PSX emulators that supports PBP games doesn't have this restriction.

CHD specification quoted from Aaron Giles old MAME history log

https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-1964 ... #pid429827

Relevant source code?

For CHD, that's it the author embed it to MAME's source code. There are some from others too but it's incomplete like there's no hard disks and only specific CD formats support.

https://github.com/rtissera/libchdr

For PBP, you can look at the documents of Official PSP Software Development Kits (SDK) it's available in archive.org. There are open-source too.

https://github.com/pspdev/pspsdk
https://github.com/AKuHAK/psxtract

Upload for CHD/PBP samples?

I have some clarifications there are two types of PBP. The official PSN from SONY store and the reverse-engineered public one. I think I should upload two types of PBP ROM, the official and unofficial.

Can you give me the names of small sample of PSX ROM with small data and audio tracks that you want me to upload? Retail, homebrew, demo, debug prototype, etc.?

For official PSN PS1 games here's the list, I don't know if there's free or what. It's limited but you really need it because it's official that they didn't completely rev-engineer yet.

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/inde ... ial_Eboots

CHDMAN tool?

Here I put some ELI5 instructions there it's the readme.txt file just ignore it because I intended to upload it for people who really like to play PSX games in CHD that doesn't know how CMD works or any programming skills. I will also put the commands and .BAT file for easy usage.

Correction on DOS app

I just mean MS-DOS like app that can be use by using CMD.exe.

Good question... are there any PSX freeware titles with audio tracks?

Otherwise, let's start with the Marilyn game here, http://www.psxdev.net/homebrew.html It doesn't have audio tracks, but does have XA-ADPCM audio streaming, I don't know if Sony is also re-compressing that in PBP files(?)

The Roll Boss game here http://www.psxdev.net/homebrew_2.html does additionally have a STR movie. The STR compression isn't so bad, but it could be improved when storing only each Nth frame as full MDEC bitmap (and storing differences to next/previous frame in the other frames).

Btw. one interesting finding when looking into PSX file formats was that STR movies and BS pictures are actually using Huffman compression (per software) instead of solely relying on the MDEC hardware's RLE compression. Well, that isn't really new, but I wasn't aware of it until recently.

Okay I discovered something, converting multiple track PSX games to PBP will lose the soundtrack if it has any audio tracks before converting. So it's not advisable to convert multi track PSX games to PBP.

I found an unlicensed demo debug prototype of Psalm 69 (Hybrid in beta/alpha stage of development) CDROM image, it has 1 data track and 2 audio tracks and it can only be converted to CHD not PBP.

For debug options
http://hiddenpalace.org/Psalm_69_(May_1 ... n=monobook

For PBP, I found an official one from PlayStation store but all PSONE Classics there are not for free they sell it all, no demo samples.

The name of PSONE Classic game I found in PBP format is Bowling USA-PSN PSP EBOOT, it has 1 data track and 14 audio tracks. When the PBP file is compress in ZIP it's only 14MB.

I'll upload the file to catbox.moe, our forum only supports 3MB per file. Please tell me if you can't download the file.

Verified files via redump.org

Psalm 69 (Japan) (Beta) size:
Uncompress - 72.1MB
7zip - 05.50MB
CHD - 20.00MB

The chdman.exe tool isn't very good. I've tried to convert the DeathBall homebrew...

Code: Select all

> chdman createcd -i "dball.cue" -o "dball.chd"
chdman - MAME Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) manager 0.146 (May 21 2012)
trk 1: 1826091 frames @ offset 0
Error: file already exists (dball.chd)
Use --force (or -f) to force overwriting
It's always throwing the "file already exists" message, no matter what output name I am using.
It felt risky to use the "-f" force option in a tool with apparently broken file_io functions, but I've tried it anyways...

Code: Select all

chdman - MAME Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) manager 0.146 (May 21 2012)
trk 1: 1826091 frames @ offset 0
Output CHD:   dball.chd
Input file:   dball.cue
Input tracks: 1
Input length: 405:47:66
Compression:  cdlz (CD LZMA), cdzl (CD Deflate), cdfl (CD FLAC)
Logical size: 4,470,273,216
Hmmm, "Logical size: 4,470,273,216" sounds weird (dball.bin is only 1,371,216 bytes), and "Input length: 405:47:66" is that a cdrom with 405 minutes???
Anyways, it doesn't create the output file, instead windows is throwing this error message:

Code: Select all

CHDMAN.EXE used an invalid or uninitialized "critical section".
The crash is triggered when chdman is calling "KERNEL32.DLL!DeleteCriticalSection".
Working CDROM compression would be nice, but I am not too convinced that CHD is the right way to go... are people really using that CHD stuff???

The "file already exists" error seems to happen to many people. Maybe it's only working in linux (and perhaps 64bit windows or whatever).
The chdman EXE is from 2012, I don't know if any newer versions exist (and if they are better or worse).

I tried to compress dball game in CHDMAN, it works no problem on my computer automated using .BAT and manually through commands. Maybe it has something to do with OS compatibility? Or driver problem? cmd.exe version?

Windonws 7 32bit
Windows 10 64bit

I tried it in a PSX emulator that supports CHD it works without any problem.

Yes, they're using it right now because almost all PSX/PS2 emulators supports CHD. PPSSPP doesn't support this because the author said CSO can do the job of CHD/PBP but there's a cost the emulation will become lag if you maximize the compression level. PBP/CHD doesn't have this kind of problem.

Yes, that's the latest one no update as of now from Aaron Giles.

Try this if it doesn't work.

Move CHDMAN folder to the root of your hard drive (The very first location when you open your hd).
Move the BIN/CUE files to the CHDMAN folder.
Open cmd.exe with administration rights.

Below a sample of unofficial public PBP. It works in PSX emulators.

Multi track BIN/CUE files converted to PBP doesn't lose its background music. That problem is only specific to an emulator, the ePSXe have this bug.

The below link is a multi track sample of the PSX game Demo Psalm 69 (1 data track plus 2 audio tracks) in PBP format.

Awesome to see NO$PSX getting some love again, thank you for the update!

I saw there's a change to the bios that relates to the PocketStation. Does this affect the emulator at all? I've been unable to get Pocket MuuMuu (a Japanese PS1 game packed with PocketStation games and apps) to transfer PocketStation games to the memory card, I wanted to be sure.

One other thing that I tried to email you about. Does No$PSX implement the COP0 data access / data write breakpoint? I tried to use it awhile back and it doesn't seem to work. It's possible I made a mistake but I don't think so.

Many thanks for the PBP and CHD sample images! They are very helpful to see how the data looks like in practice.
Squaresoft74 wrote: August 26th, 2022, 4:06 am Anything that could help here ?
Yeah, the encryption stuff might be useful (for retail disc images). And it's having some "lz" compression, I am not sure what that's used for, I thought that it would use standard "deflate" compression(?)

I've created separate threads for PBP and CHD formats, with yet incomplete file format specs:
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=3980 - CHD Format (MAME)
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=3979 - PBD Format (Sony)

The extra chip select delay in the last line of the release notes? That should affect real hardware only.
I haven't tried, but what you say sounds as if that MuuMuu games refuses to store pocketstation files on regular memory cards, which makes sense to me.
I'm not sure what you want to do: Store pocketstation files files on regular memory cards, but why? And do you want to do that on real hardware, or in no$psx, or in any other emulators in general?

Ah, no, it doesn't. It's supporting only COP0 code access breaks (and even that won't work if they occur in branch delays).

Btw. did I miss any important/standard PSX File Format in my specs?

Are there any further standard archive, bitmap, model, sound, compression formats that are still unsupported/undocumented in no$psx?
