PS2 ODODE - Open DECKARD Optical Drive Emulator (Discussion)

A first variation of this concept has been established in a "proof of concept" closed build of 'DKWDRV', which allows booting PS1-Images (from USB) via the quasi-native 'PS1-Mode' of DECKARD-PS2s!!!

The PS2-Scene is on fire!


Seriously... This is BIGGER than most people even imagine! This is worth pointing out to channels like "Modern Vintage Gamer" or @MrMario2011, who can understand and explain it in a good way! ;)

This makes me miss my silver slim model. Selling it was a bad idea, though it was some years ago.

Probably the best DECKARD model because it works with FMCB.

quasi native?
 
We will Soon™ see some new Informations regarding DECKARD being openly available.

This project here in itself is not done, but that documentation is an AWESOME resource to look at.

I only saw snippets of the info and that was already very interesting!

If you search hard enough you can still find SCPH-90001 8A and 8B FMCB models out there. I went digging through over 500 eBay listings, looking at photos of the labels until I found an 8B. It was a lot of grueling work but it was worth it in the end.

9000x is my favorite model because it's the most compact in terms of no external power brick and is amongst the most reliable iterations of the console. (in my experience)

should have just searched for a japanese version as those are more common. i got like 4 or 5 myself
 
So, there is hope for working with a hard disk (SPEED emulation) on the DECKARD side, and the 75k+ slims will also be able to connect a hard disk as a fat model with a network adapter (accordingly, with the same data transfer speed as in fatkas)? Will it be quite difficult to implement?The last time @wisi did something similar, but the speed of the hard disk was 5-7MB/s, which is at the level of MX4SIO.
