Donate & Support PSXDEV.NET

We have been operating since 2012 providing users with a place for free information, free downloads & zero ads.

It has always been a safe and clean forum with no spam for other members interested in the PlayStation 1 to meet and make new friendships.
It's a place for those who are interested in learning about programming, reverse engineering and experimenting with hardware/software for the console.

We have never asked for donations before but it has reached the point where the server costs are becoming too much for us.
We would like to politely ask that if you use this site that you donate any amount you can to show your support to assist with the hosting fees in order to keep PSXDEV.NET alive.

Users who donate will be rewarded with a new profile rank on their account badge ;)
Just be sure to include your handle/alias when sending the donation or message me here with your BTC address.

Re: Does NO$PSX works on Windows 98 ?

NO$PSX runs on my Windows 98 SE machine. It's not able to run at full speed, but it does indeed run. If I upgraded my machine from a Pentium 3 at 400 MHz to something faster (perhaps 800 MHz) it should then be able to run at full speed. Though, I'd have to do research on my mainboard since the bottl...

Surely the documentation explains the arguments. Try also running a search in the Sony samples to find an example :)

Uhm, BLEEM! was last updated 22 years ago and lacks a lot of the correct PSX core emulation. It is not a better emulator than NO$PSX.

Try a PU-7 or PU-8 board with the analog servos and adjust the laser power slightly since CD-R's require more gain ;)

I couldn't find anything in the database. The issue might be on your end because multiple test sites worked fine with a paint time of approximately 1.5 seconds. Here is a result from Germany: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/230816_BiDc71_35W/

Re: Batch STR Converter

Why go to all that trouble when you can just use FFMPEG. Run the batch below and then merge the WAV and AVI in MC32.EXE to produce the STR.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
CLS
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec rawvideo -s 320x256 -r 25 -an output.avi
ECHO.
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -vn output.wav

But please consider to use the correct spelling. It's called buildcd (like B-U-I-L-D), not bulidcd (B-U-L-I-D).
If you are having trouble using BUILDCD, then try the MKPSXISO tool.

Maybe because it's too easy and the Saturn provides a greater challenge? :shrug

Re: Linker error: Symbol not defined

Don't include libmcrd.lib unless you need it as it'll just bloat your CPE/EXE. The same goes for any other libs if you're not using them. Not sure what's going on, but try replacing libsn.lib with the 4.6 version instead. It looks like mine is from Wednesday, 28 July 1999 compared to Friday, 18 Febr...

Re: TIM transparency

Colour multiply seems to have the most realistic effect, but don't use emulation when experimenting with 3D especially in the field of lighting. Always use real hardware for proper accurate results.

I would like to do that, but I don't want to risk taking appart my PS1. The last one I took appart, the connector for the disc drive broke off the board. I've had that happen too. It's due to a lack of solder paste from the factory which Sony used to manufacture the PlayStation 1. All you gotta' do...
