Can you check the cable with a multitester, or asked someone do it for you? I have multi-meter somewhere...what am i checking ? Continuity between all pins? I also got my hands on Pro Action Replay CD version. The main menu states "ver 1.4 (E.M.S.)". I couldn't get it to work either, alth...

I got this cable now http://www.cablestogo.com/product/02654/3ft-db25-m-f-serial-rs232-extension-cable . Description says all pins are connected. I STILL cannot connect to the Xplorer cart from the PC. :x The thing is, the cart is not FX version. Its just the Xplorer V1. Is V1 supposed to work with ...

I suspected it was the damn cable....i'll get the one you suggested Greg

I'm having trouble getting caetla/catflap to work. Spent a whole freakin' day on this :( I have Xplorer cartrige, the original one (not FX or Pro). See here for different models (http://www.murraymoffatt.com/playstation-xplorer.html) At first, I wanted to back up original ROM. Tried newer PC (from a...

Why did the SCPH-1001 have separate audio/video outputs in addition to the standard A/V multiout?

So I finally got Xplorer, looks like a V1? And its a PAL, so I get a nice B&W video with static audio noise when its activated

So anyhow, is Xplorer supposed to boot backups?

And also, any regular DB25 Male-Female cable will work to connect it to the PC ?

Btw, would a regular analog VGA cable with PC monitor work with DTL-H2000? Or must i have special A/V cable?

So does changing the CPU clock affect the GPU clock as well?

TriMesh, have you looked into upgrading VRAM to 2MB? It should be feasible, because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco_System_11 which is based on straight PS1 hardware had 2MB.

For the JAP pinout diagrams, what is the name of the PDF file and the CD they came from ? Among other things, I am trying to figure out what parts where included in the DTL-H2000 kit.

I found a GS 2.1 at a local pawn shop, but not sure if I can use it for anything.

Can GS 2.1 be used to upload homebrew without the CommsLink ISA card? If not, then what is the issue? Is it a software issue - or truly a hardware problem?

thanks for your reply, Shadow. I'm asking here because its the only major site that I know of dedicated to the PSX. cheers!

I've been trying to get onto assembler games so i can by DTL-H2500. Over the last couple of years I've tried to sign up 3-4 times and each time did not get even as much as a confirmation email. (and no,its not spam folder). I totally understand if they are a private forum and want to keep to themsel...
