I see. that's something i would definitely want to experiment with when i start getting into psx development. str video looks okay on a CRT but on a modern set or using emulators like duckstation, it looks pretty bad. So i was thinking maybe if the image frames are clean then it'll look good when up...

i came across this video of someone testing Yugioh Forbidden Memories with tonyhax v1.2.1 and it got the Anti Piracy message. maybe there's a way around this?

wow i've never seen that screen before. guess it'll only show up if there's a problem with the memory card. here's a interesting read about the hurdles in porting NBA Jam TE https://www.usgamer.net/articles/porting-nba-jam-tournament-edition-16-bit-arcade-playstation-excerpt Chris Kirby was only 18 ...

oh and speaking of potential exploitable games, can you check NBA Jam T.E? it was a PS1 launch title and it auto load at the very first screen but what's interesting about this game is it doesn't give users the ability to save or load. The only time it saves is if we input initials and complete a ga...

wow i actually posed that question on discord once thinking it's the most asinine thing to ask but i was wondering if it's possible to do some sort of a Frankenstein thing where we physically cut the portion with the wobble data out and then stitch a CDR onto it lol and that's how i heard about Date...

looks like there's going to be a lot of games to inspect. i don't fully grasp a lot of the concepts but maybe Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Collection, Kof 99 or Capcom vs SNK pro is worth looking into. Would it be possible for someone to say develop their own homebrew which will all...

you know what's crazy i was following this ebay listing of a user selling ps1 memory cards with tonyhax and just the other day i checked and it only had 1 sale and was being sold for less than $8. then that MVG video aired and then today all 30 of the guy's memory cards were sold today. He had to re...

do you think there'll exist a game that can boot directly into the exploit bypassing all the menus and stuff? that'll be awesome. I'll buy a boot disc of that if someone press it

yeah that's too complicated for a amateur hobbyist like me at the moment but it's fascinating to know what could be possible. while i was modding the PlayStation underground disc to bundle tonyhax i came across these tims that were in 512x240 resolution: https://i.ibb.co/d0p1v3w/ps-underground.png I...

he mentioned something about VCDs being unknown in the west, i disagree. most dvd players could play VCDs and back then blank DVDs cost a lot so many people would encode their own VCDs to burn onto CDR. This was quite popular with anime fansubs and Music videos. Who could forget tmpgenc? There was a...

My idea is to have a sequence of .tim images playing one after another where it loads and unloads the next frames. if this idea is possible then how many FPS do u think we can achieve with this idea? .str video is okay but it doesn't look as sharp. so i was wondering if there's a way to utilize high...

i remember Orion_ showcasing these rare プレプレ Plus Playstation Club Demo discs from japan and thinking wow these demos contain a lot of save files. seems to be more popular in japan. I'm thinking about importing some of these demos. i would like to build a homebrew with this idea from scratch...

Orion's save manager disc "PocketStation (Memory Card) Transfer Tool CD" supports .MCS files. http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=227 that's pretty cool that he made a tool for this because i remember a very long time ago before i got into modding i was wondering how can i get ps1...

If you have a spare PS2 lying around, then I believe that it is now possible to launch regular burned discs on an unmodified machine (for most models): https://cturt.github.io/freedvdboot.html Theoretically, it should be possible from there to load custom data onto a PS1 memory card? i saw Modern V...

now i'm no expert on programming or anything so y'all might have to excuse my noobish questions but i've been working on a RPG Maker PS1 project and I was wondering if it's possible to use a exploit like tonyhax to change the function of a game similar to what a gameshark does. my idea was to modify...

That'll be great if it can. I only have experience with modding PSX games and one of the limitations is that the filesizes need to be equal or less than the orignal file we're replacing. So even for the intro video i had to trim your video and speed it up a bit to match the video on the disc. I hear...

Absolutely, that'll be really perfect. If you plan on doing it from scratch, please note the amount of saves now that it also supports THPS4 exceeds the amount of saves that can fit on a memory card, so you'd probably need to make a menu to choose which save games to install. I've successfully modd...

I've tested it earlier today and CDDA audio tracks work. I also got it to work on my fat PS2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YK6TcbqBBs I imagine the prices for THPS2/3 will increase once more people are aware of this exploit. I believe this little feature to play CDDA audio games is very useful fo...

Yes, CD-DA works perfectly fine. I've tried it with the Spanish version of Hogs of War, which has one data track with libcrypt and two audio tracks, and it worked flawlessly. that's incredible because as far as i'm aware of there's never been a way to get backups with CDDA audio working previously ...

this is awesome. do you know if games with CDDA audio will work with this method? I went ahead and purchased THPS2 on ebay and will test it.
