[WTB] DTL-H2000 Boards, xplorer cart

Post by Nomad » January 31st, 2018, 7:00 pm

This year i've had some hopes of setting up a dev machine to get into this stuff, I have been surfing around ebay and other sources for the last few days and all efforts came up nil, it seems all roads lead here and I might aswell try asking if anyone has a pair of these for sale. :praise

Also I am interested in snagging an xplorer cart if someone has one of those laying around (came up short on ebay for those aswell)

We have H2000's, but we only sell them to programmers who are seriously keen on making stuff for the PSX. Take for example LameGuy64. He made on his H2000 an incredibly outstanding 3D engine. We will only sell them to people who create stuff like that. Best thing is to start with the Xplorer and see what you can do with it. If you create something good and show us, we'll sell you a board :)

The reason behind this is so that the boards go to actual developers and not collectors who will horde them.
Development Console: SCPH-5502 with 8MB RAM, MM3 Modchip, PAL 60 Colour Modification (for NTSC), PSIO Switch Board, DB-9 breakout headers for both RGB and Serial output and an Xplorer with CAETLA 0.34.

PlayStation Development PC: Windows 98 SE, Pentium 3 at 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM, DTL-H2000, DTL-H2010, DTL-H201A, DTL-S2020 (with 4GB SCSI-2 HDD), 21" Sony G420, CD-R burner, 3.25" and 5.25" Floppy Diskette Drives, ZIP 100 Diskette Drive and an IBM Model M keyboard.

fair enough,i'll come back when I got some sort of a setup going, the main reason I wanted the boards is because its obviously more desirable to learn the more "official way", interfacing with actual hardware, versus the emulator or the more common methods but at the same time i guess it makes more sense to start with the more common methods then the die hard way, baby steps, cheers 8-)

Thanks, I am not entirely sure on the differences between the Xplorer and the Xploder, but I found a cheap "Xploder" hopefully it will do the job, I found a few threads here that mention both in use (I think)

I think Xploder was the USA variant, and Xplorer was the UK one. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

That's right.
Xploder = USA, Germany
Xplorer = UK, France, Spain, Italy
X-Terminator = Japan

The price is definitely a bit extreme but if you want a set now.

DTL-H2000's pop up from time to time but it probably makes much more sense to get your feet wet with the Xplorer or psxserial.
