Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

Maybe this is the first time a game use the additional RAM on real hardware? :?:

However, I am satisfied with the result and I would also like to try some mods for GT2. :D

Ciao!

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

I think it worked with the executable that szalay_1 sent me and I thank you again. ;) I don't know if the test times are regular, in my case about 40 seconds pass between the initial screen and the completion screen, but I have launched the test many times and it has always been successful. :) https...

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

how are you sending via serial? If you use unirom, just add /m to the commandline to see the console output? Sorry for the late reply. I use a normal FT232RL USB-Serial adapter installed inside the console for loading .EXE files and as mentioned, both with PSXSERIAL and NOPS everything works normal...

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

It's very likely that the memory is being trashed. Check the address size and offsets. When Trimesh was developing and testing the program it was loaded by another method and not a serial uploader. Thanks for the reply! :D As I thought there was something wrong, but I preferred to choose the method...

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

I'll start by saying that I'm probably doing something wrong so please have mercy on me. :? I tried to launch the RAM Test (the MAIN.EXE file in the zip attached to the post in the first page) both with PSXSERIAL with the CD and with NOPS via a cartridge with UNIROM. In both cases with little succes...

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

"didn't have a chance to test them before desoldering them" Yes same as here, bought from eBay and no other choice just soldering them... and waiting with great excitement to see if it works or not. We're lucky ! It is also very reassuring after a ram test that all 8 megabytes are availab...

Re: [Hardware Mod] 8MB in (PU-18) Retail PSX

A very fun project to spend a Sunday afternoon on, with the constant thrill that the RAMs wouldn't work because I didn't have a chance to test them before desoldering them, but luckily it went well on the first try. The console works perfectly but in the next few days I will check the RAM with the a...
