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/

Strange. It could be from the database side. I'll check it out.

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.

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.

hey you german shit, why don't you even react on me? no cash, you have not better deserved. stupid liars and idiots. shame on you Please don't talk to other members like that :naughty Warning issued :!: I'm surprised a custom BIOS written for NO$PSX even works on such a questionable emulator for th...

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

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...

What were the four most popular drinks in the middle ages? Answer:

I don't know about you but I'll have a nice cold glass of liquid

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...

The flux used by the factories Sony went with isn't water soluble. Alcohol will help dissolve it, but you'll need to use something like a toothbrush to help assist with breaking it down further into the solution.

There is no service manual for the PU-7 or PU-8.

Hi Shadow, Could you give us a complete specification? I need RV703 in my SCPH-5502. There's a service manual for the 5502. If you don't know where it is, just probe with your scope until you come across the eye pattern on the test points near the CD-ROM ribbon header on the mainboard. Just be care...

NO$PSX and DuckStation are far more close to real emulation than pSX Fin (this emulator has not been updated in many years). The closest however so far to real hardware would have to be Xebra.

I'm certain they're just covered in old flux. It's difficult to tell without either cleaning them or testing them with a multimeter. As NO$CASH said, they're just inductors and they're cheap to replace anyway. Also check the RGB (colour) encoder chip which also looks like it's covered in the burnt f...

To debug, use NO$PSX with the Psy-Q symbols. However, for basic debugging just adding printf() will suffice.
