Salut @Jolek.

Cette souris me semble être l'exacte réplique extérieure de celles que j'ai eu pour mon ATARI-1040STF il y a plus de 30 ans.

Cet ordinateur que j'ai très "custom" par moi même fonctionne toujours et j'avais créé des extensions mémoires qui lui permettait de démarrer soit en 520Ko, en 1024Ko en 2,5Mo et en 4Mo (maximum). Ces configurations mémoires étaient commandées par des micro-interrupteurs à bascules (inverseurs) en donnant les bons signaux au bons moments. Je n'avais pas créé que ça mais que c'est loin maintenant !!!

I don't understand?!
This mouse is an official one from sony.
Mouse should be in Port 1, DualShock\Dual Analog Controller should be in port 2.
Only compatible games are supported with this peripheral device.

Did you tried it with POPStarter?

 

I have this PS1 mouse and could not get it to work with a number of games on the posted list.

 

@Jolek.

Non, je ne possède pas de souris PS1 (voire pour PS2), je n'ai que des souris pour les micro-ordinateurs ATARI type 1040STF. La souris que tu as mises sur la photo est pratiquement l'exacte réplique que celles que j'ai possédé en leur temps pour mes ATARI (j'en ai eu plusieurs modèles jusqu'au Falcon030).

 

Popstarter will not support this device cause it handle only ps2mode compatible hardware.

 

So maybe this adaptor might help:

 

No like this
$??????? ???????

 

For mode 0x07?
Be more precise about what you want to achieve.

 

Patch 0x07 did not complate. And not stable. We can't play games like Tomb Raidwer III, IV, chronciles well with this patch. Games are looking very bright unwanted. We should config gamma with a cheat code we want to be how much it.

 

Mode 0x07 isn't something that'd let the user configure things such as gamma. It's a dirty patch which hasn't been completed or replaced with something efficient. And POPStarter is no longer being developed, so I cannot provide a hexcode or TROJAN/PATCH, sorry.

 

Is there a cheat to enable DS analog mode at startup?

Desculpe não saber Inglês e Francês:

Eu mantenho um blog sem fins lucrativos no Brasil (https://mundowiihack.wordpress.com/2017/10/22/popstarter-ps2/), e só no ano de 2017/2018 o POPStarter foi baixado mais de 10.000 vezes!
Em países pobres (de "terceiro mundo") muitas vezes só temos um Playstation 2, e o POPStarter que é naturalmente uma ferramenta extremamente poderosa, que proporciona jogarmos Playstation One gastando pouco dinheiro!
Eu realmente espero que um dia você volte a trabalhar neste projeto e esqueça as poucas pessoas que não valoriza seu trabalho, porque MUITAS outras muitas pessoas dependem do seu trabalho e respeitam seu trabalho, e sinceramente estas pessoas merecem mais atenção que o jay-jay!

Desculpe insistir no assunto, mas seu trabalho com o POPStarter faz a alegria de muitas pessoas, principalmente no Brazil!

 

@rogerioronin you can write in your language and put a translation (eg from https://www.deepl.com).
It'll make at least my life simpler.

Here is translation:

Best regards.

 

I agree with @rogerioronin
Unfortunately brazilians have to live with the highest rates in the world thanks to their rulers.
Anyway. Popstarter is amazing. Thank you kHn. I hope you get back to working on this great project again.

 

This news may not be related with POPStarter, but it is realated with PS1,
so I hope no one will complain.

Recently (03/06/2018), New Mod Patch has been released for Resident Evil 1.5 by MartinBiohazard.

Could someone show me examples of DISCS.TXT and VMCDIR.TXT for games installed for HDD-OSD launch method...
I have one Game: Metal Gear Solid

PP.SLUS-00594.MGS_CD1
........\IMAGE0.VCD
........\EXECUTE.KELF

PP.SLUS-00776.MGS_CD2
........\IMAGE0.VCD
........\EXECUTE.KELF

How my DISCS.TXT should look like?
How my VCMDIR.TXT should look like to make MGS CD2 save to MGS CD1 VMC folder?

 

Install both disc in the same PP. partition. The disc change feature does not support multiple partitions (cannot unmount/mount partitions).
First disc must be named IMAGE0.VCD, since POPStarter only looks for that VCD when booting in HDD-OSD mode.
Second disc, IMAGE1.VCD.

Since CD1 and CD2 belong to the same partition, the same VMC will be used with both VCDs (no need for VCMDIR.TXT)

Content of DISCS.TXT (put the text file in the VMC folder of MGS) :

Code:

IMAGE0.VCD
IMAGE1.VCD

Hope I'm correct...

 

Thank you very much! it works flawless

 

Its a shame development stopped on this. I just tried it again over the last few days to see that most of the DDR games are now fully playable. Expect for not surprisingly, DDR Disney Mix but turns out its because of the engine its running on.

Its the Dancing Stage engine that was made for the spin off titles that causes issues because i randomly tried one of the Japanese Dancing Stage title and heard and saw the same audio skipping and disc error message occur during gameplay.

Note i have not tried the PAL Dancing Stage games but those should run without any issues since those are running the DDR engine

TL;DR: The Japanese Dancing Stage engine is the culprit for the skipping audio, not the disc dump itself.
