It turned-out this was due to partially-desoldered/lifted CELL BE. So until it is soldered right (if it at all still works and the PCB and substrate are ok) I won't know more about what was wrong with this PS3. But I have another PS3 to ask about: SEM-001 - it was originally stopping at 1200...

DKWDRV 1.7.4 USB disk image loading for Optical Drive Emulation support added - second major version with USB, first beta release https://github.com/DKWDRV/DKWDRV/releases/tag/1.7.4 Latest release: https://github.com/DKWDRV/DKWDRV/releases/latest Moved to a new repository...

On DECKARD models, the added code on DECKARD emulates the HDD so it looks to the PS2 the same way as the internal HDD but the speed is not the same. The internal HDD can reach 50MB/s to/from the EE (66 MB/s even to/from the IOP), while this reached something around 5 or 8MB/s, but it was too...

The schematic of the CPLD internal logic of PS2MAdd is attached to this post: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/hdd-for-ps2-scph75000x-later-models.30696/page-2#post-254935 The necessary code should be in the DECKARD added library, attached to this post (I haven't checked in what state it might...

As Agrippa says, SotC uses relocatable binaries in the XFF custom SotC format (not used anywhere else). XFF (maybe eXecutable / eXtensible File Format) is just a converted relocatable ELF. I have made a converter for ELF relocatable object files to XFF for the purposes of adding code to the game...

Thank you all for working on this. I don't know when or if I'll go back to working on mx4sio (though basically I have mostly no involvement in the currently used code if I remember correctly). I checked the first driver I wrote and the new one (in 2020) and both are missing the R1 (and the...

I am getting A0213013 on DIA-001. There were more errors originally. What are the necessary prerequisites for the CELL BE to respond on the SPI bus to the SysCon? On DIA-001, 1.2V_MC2_VDDIO and 1.2V_BE_VCS are both available and the syscon does send /CS, clk and data to the BE, but there is no...

DKWDRV's developer has worked hard and using emulation in DECKARD, managed to make a proof-of-concept loading of PS1 games from USB mass storage devices, emulating the CD subsystem. (In PS1 mode (only) on DECKARD models (PPC-IOP).) Not all CD access commands are emulated yet, which causes some...

I don't know how to help you. I hope somebody else does instead.

You can try the updated version: https://github.com/wisi-w/DKWDRV/releases/tag/1.7.2 I don't know if it has the loading from MC fixed as that is a semi-wLE bug and might need to be fixed in wLE (too). I don't know if loading from USB will be slower but shouldn't be much slower. I think MC read...

New release DKWDRV 1.7.2 https://github.com/wisi-w/DKWDRV/releases/tag/1.7.2 1.7.2 Fixed an IOP init bug which might have impacted boot up on some systems. Allows config saving for PSX.EXE games with no SYSTEM.CNF Memory card 1 or 2 can be selected for saving game config. Config and cheats are...

What controller are you using? Is it in Port 1?

It *might* be that the uLaunchELF / wLaunchElf used may be part of the problem. Some tests show that even launching the same uLE with itself from MC causes it to hang on black screen. I tried some old uLE v4.42 and both relaunching it and DKWDRV (1.7.1) from mc0:/BEDATA-SYSTEM works correctly...

Thank you for reporting this. It is most likely a bug or maybe it isn't meant to be run from MC - I don't know. If a new (fixed) version becomes available, I'll upload it.

GSM will always be problematic because it traps more GS regs that it should. PS1VmodeNeg will work but it can only negate video stuff and is buggy for some games and consoles and detection. It will also not work with component/PS2HDMI if your TV does not support 240p. Use DKWDRV because it...
