PS2 Calling Convention

invalid@example.com (Anonamous) — Sun, 26 May 2019 07:14:57 +0000

Does anyone happen to either have, or know where I might find accurate and reliable information regarding the calling convention used by the ee-gcc?

I have found this http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/compilers/compilerindex/PS2.pdf

However some of the information there seems sort of... out there... For example it says that an 8 byte input parameter is split into two and passed in an even/odd pair of input registers (eg a0/a1 or a2/a3) but I don't see how this can be...

Sixaxis/DualShock 3 prototype question

invalid@example.com (Panek) — Fri, 24 May 2019 10:36:38 +0000

Hi guys,

I've got a question about a prototype/development/reference Sixaxis/DualShock 3 pad.
It's the one that has two miniUSBs on top, the model is MSU REV3 M2, made by ALPS.

Inside, it has this weird metal housing which I have always assumed to be the internal battery. But, all DualShock batteries are wired to a connector, while this thing has three cables going out of it that are soldered straight to the board. The inputs are: FR+, FR- and FG. I assume the G stands for Ground, but that...

PS2Netbox / PS2USB network adapter

invalid@example.com (ps2netbox) — Tue, 21 May 2019 09:47:40 +0000

I create two products. One called PS2Netbox ,the other ,PS2USB network adapter.
PS2Netbox is designed for ps2 slim ( but can be used with ps2 fat with network adapter).
It use a simple network protocol for high speed communication. It can load and play game at almost like HDD on ps2 fat with network adapter.

PS2USB network adapter , is designed for PS2 Fat . With this adapter you can connect a variety of high-speed USB 2.0 interface storage devices.

Both of them use a custom OPL ....

PS2 - DSP's Used on Motherboard Revisions?

invalid@example.com (protivakid) — Mon, 20 May 2019 16:02:47 +0000

Does anyone know if the CXD1869/CXD1886 DSP was used only on the earlier revisions and the CXD3098Q was swapped in for the later ones? Or did Sony use either/or through all PS2 revisions depending on which plant was manufacturing them?

From digging online it seems that the earlier ones such as the v4 & v5 PS2s had a DSP marked CXD1869BQ, where as the later v7 & v8 PS2's had the CXD3098Q, but perhaps you experts will know better....

I have gone through all of my TEST units, and kept two of each for the archives. There are some very interesting differenced.

There is the DTL-H10000 I have only seen one of these, it reads debugger on the back. 100volts. AC
DTL-H10000, PSONE ONLY unit, cannot do DVD media, DVDR or others.

DTL-H30000 I only have one, it was supposed to be used in korea only.

DTL-H30001 NTSC, 120 volts
DTL-H30001H NTSC, 120volt, unknown difference
DTL-H30001S Also, unknown. (S for simple was one...

Mechacon, DECKARD and DVD emulator

invalid@example.com (Myria) — Wed, 15 May 2019 14:14:35 +0000

I've wished for a while that we could get a dump of the Mechacon firmware in order to search for back doors and such.

Does the PowerPC DECKARD code of SCPH-75000+ emulate the Mechacon, or is there still a Mechacon on the board that DECKARD simply defers to?

Does the DVD emulation board for the DTL-T10000 have its own fake Mechacon?

PSX DESR DVR update history research

invalid@example.com (AKuHAK) — Wed, 15 May 2019 13:27:45 +0000

There are 2 generations of PSX DESRs:

DESR-7000/DESR-5000/DESR-7100/DESR-5100
DESR-7500/DESR-5500/DESR-7700/DESR-5700

First generation. After researches I found that there can be at least 6 different firmware version. Firmware can be divided in three types: factory firmware, disc distribution, network distribution.

Version 1.06 - factory firmware. Internal version number for all packages - 0.1. DESR-7000/DESR-5000 was released with this...

PSTwo Joyech 8" LCD

invalid@example.com (segasonicfan) — Sun, 12 May 2019 07:27:50 +0000

Does anyone have one of these? I got one recently and was stunned at how poor the quality is. Either my unit has a weird issue or they completely messed up the firmware for the RGB and component inputs. The S-Video input (Game/DVD) looks better quality most of the time, because they use some good comb filtering and other settings built into the IC.

I also find that the white balance seems quite a bit off, but that just may be due to an older cathode bulb.

The audio quality is fantastic...

Strange demo found on testkit

I have found several interesting demo on a testkit.
I think the Deep (working title) demo was from gamescom
The other 2 demos (PHYS00102 and PHYR00004) are of unknown origin, probably not within the SDKs. Anyone know where could these demo origin from?

PSP Testing Tool DIPSW Mystery

invalid@example.com (WorldGenesis) — Mon, 06 May 2019 13:24:15 +0000

Hello everyone!

I decided to do some experimenting with my PSP Testing Tool

On the motherboard there's 3 individual DIPSWs labeled (Normal <-> Flash Write), if you switch them to Flash Write, the PSP screen goes blank but the power remains on and seems to be looking for something.

I tried to hook the USB up and see if its showing up as anything, I'll keep experimenting with it and see if I can figure out what's going on.

On a random note, there's another set of DIPSWs labeled 1/2/3/4...

PS2 Metrowerks Boost

invalid@example.com (Anonamous) — Sat, 20 Apr 2019 14:03:21 +0000

Just wondering if someone with a functional PS2 Metrowerks installation would be kind enough to compile the Boost 1.28 libraries for me. Both debug (-gdwarf-2) and release versions are appreciated. There is a configuration file in boost 1.28 for Metrowerks. I would like to generate Yara signatures from the retail libraries and create a ghidra fidb from the debug ones.

Uploading the compiled libraries shouldn't be a violation of anything as boost itself is open source and the compiled...
