    PS1 Castlevania SotN Save Editor

    Which Japanese version is this hack based on? If it's based on version 1.2 or "Rev 2" the memory locations for many things should be very close for a lot of things. For example items, if you pick something near the middle of the set and see what it actually gives you then you can work your way...

    PS2 Does playing backup PS1 discs on a PS2 burnout the laser ?

    More ODE options would be good so long as their compatibility is good. What is mstation exactly? From a quick look it seems to be an ODE designed to plug in the same way the original Laser Lens Assembly would? That is something I've wanted to see. In theory if done right you should get 100%...

    PS1 Castlevania SotN Save Editor

    The save editor looks for a certain file name on the memory card. The Japanese version uses a different file name. You could possibly change the name to match the North American version, edit the save, then change the name back. But yeah by default it's intended for the North American version...

    PS2 Does playing backup PS1 discs on a PS2 burnout the laser ?

    While using POPStarter may be fine in some cases, I'd certainly disagree with it being "the best way" to play any game. It depends on your priorities. I find the best way to play PS1 games these days is on a real PS1 with an optical drive emulator. No need to use any discs. But they aren't cheap...

    PS2 How to burn the perfect burned discs?

    The quality of the burn is dependent on both the writer and the media being burned to as well as the combination of the two. The recommendation to burn at the slowest speed probably comes from how a buffer underrun is very bad for a burn and that is less likely to occur when burning at the...

    PS2 Does playing backup PS1 discs on a PS2 burnout the laser ?

    If you are that worried about wear and tear on your PS2 by playing PS1 CD-Rs on it then just get a PS1 console to play those games. There are plenty of options to boot CD-Rs on them now, you can even use your PS2 to install the FreePSXBoot on a memory card to do so. I don't think playing high...

    PS2 How to burn the perfect burned discs?

    100%, using low quality media can lead to so many problems. Some people will think their laser is having problems when all that is wrong is the DVD-R/CD-R is terrible quality or the burn quality was not good. To be fair it can be difficult or even expensive to find high quality media. Most of...

    PS1 Advice needed on PS1/CRT setup

    Your CRT TV does not need to support NTSC if you use a SCART RGB cable. You just need the TV to be capable of 60hz vertical refresh rate. I don't know if those aren't very common in the UK but I suspect that the later model CRTs it was much more common than older ones. Using a PS2 is not a bad...

    PS2 Playstation 2 Master Disc Patcher for MechaPwn

    Viewtiful Joe fails patching because of a badly formatted SYSTEM.CNF file. I can't update the program for it right now but you can fix the ISO easily. Open the ISO in a hex editor and search for the string "BOOT2 =". To be clear search for just what is in those quote marks. You should arrive...

    PS2 Playstation 2 Master Disc Patcher for MechaPwn

    Which exact version of Viewtiful Joe? Linking the redump page for the exact dump helps. Otherwise the exact name should work. Then I can look and see what the issue is.

    I'm guessing there is a displayed time field separate from the actual in game time. If I get a chance I'll try to address that in the future.

    PS2 Playstation 2 Master Disc Patcher for MechaPwn

    Call of Duty: Finest Hour (Usa) CRC32: 5FF068E6 patched without any problem for me. Please check to make sure you are using the newest version of the patcher.

    PS2 Playstation 2 Master Disc Patcher for MechaPwn

    You can take Notepad, type just the letter U or letter J and then save that as region.ini and you have the file. This only affects some magic number related stuff that probably isn't relevant to the Mechapwn exploit and only important for actual debug units. So you should probably ignore that it...

    PS2 Playstation 2 Master Disc Patcher for MechaPwn

    The region.ini is simply a text file with either the letter U, J, or E. If no region.ini exists it defaults to U. Changing the region may not be necessary for things to function anyway. All that matters is that the mechacon mounts the master disc as readable and you have a way to then boot the...
