PSIO Supposedly Working

Sure. I got the jist though mate, cheers.

 

LOL
C'mon!No useng their code or GPL violation? He's clairy used gemini code (confirmed by cybdyn) and the screen on his site are the proof.
The issues and the shit that cybdyn wrote are because language barrier? please invent another excuse...
He will let the product talking? really, but he must post a decnet video that doesen't smell of fake.
I just do not plagiarize from him, has matured? we'll see...
Stop trolling and stop creating fake accounts
But my opinion certainly will not change with respect to those two.
That mail sended to bad absolutely cover nothing.

My opinion will only change when bad will receive the working prototipe.

 

Who gives a shit?
If it's real, great. If it's not, they just want attention and you're giving it to them.
Why people are putting all this time and energy into arguing over this is beyond me...

Put your handbags down.

 

Hmm didn't someone a while ago that Bad_Ad84 was going to be the UK distributor of this device? If so how neutral of an opinion can he have on psio?

This thread is right up there on the Resident Evil 1.5 scale of interwebs drama now.

 

Sigh...

Go read post 84 onwards. I have never been a distributor of PSIO and this is the very reason why I was annoyed about tails stating nonsense the first time round (which was about a year ago?!)

Hell, I have been saying this device would never happen for years. Id suggest reading all the back story before chiming in with something that tries to make me look bad. I value my word and trustworthyness above all, I don't take kindly to people making things up or repeating made up things.

 

You have to admit that from the outside it could seem a bit suspect that your receiving a prototype after that accusation was thrown about.

 

I'm not exactly sure if bad advertisement is like giving them attention, especially if Haunted's reaction is that of an angry child who starts creating fakes everywhere and sends email just stuffed with insults. And of course, this isn't either a sign of him maturing either, but quite the opposite indeed.

 

Only if you ignore the fact it was completely made up and the person who said it retracted the statement.

Facts are, if I get a prototype (and it is an if, I am still not convinced the thing works as advertised) - people can request what ever video they want to confirm it works. Hell, if you are local you can come see it.

I am not going to sell PSIO, so I don't see what a lie has to do with it, I have nothing to gain from releasing a video showing it working. If anything, I only have something to lose - my word and the trust people have in me. If it doesnt work, I will sure as shit say so.

I do a lot of work for people with sensitive data (repairing devkits, etc). If my word and trustworthyness was bought into question - I could lose quite a bit of work and therefore money. For someone who isnt going to sell/profit from PSIO, it seems a stupid risk to take if I wasnt 100% sure it worked.

tl;dr

I have worked hard to build a good reputation here. I wont let internet drama ruin it. If I get a prototype, I will document my experience with it and anyone who is local can come see it in person.

 

Thanks for clearing that up Bad_Ad84 no harm was meant I was just curious about it.

 

I am not angry with you, you are just going off what you have read. But it does prove my point about why I got annoyed about it when it was first said.

 

All PS2 and PS3 (at least the fat and slim ones; not sure about the latest PS3 "top loading" model) are backwards compatible with PS1, and Sony has lots of PS1 titles available for sale in their PSN Store, so I'm sure they still care a little about the PS1 (not sure if enough to sue a guy for creating/selling PSIO with/out stolen code).

 

we have not used Gemini code.

 

I'm glad this seems to settle down a little. Cybdyn seems to me like a motivated person with the knowledge needed to push this project to completion, the language/culture can be a barrier sometimes, especially on non-instant written conversations, but I'm sure he will abide to any licence he has to even if he doesn't care too much about it personally. Keep in mind russian and english don't share too much similarities; expressions, idioms, syntax, tone, a lot of stuff can be lost in translation.

Bad_Ad84 is a well-known and respected member here with a (very!) critic mind, I'm sure we can all trust his conclusions once he gets the real deal. Anyway if he wanted to scam people he would have easier and more profitable ways to do so!

Cheers mates!

 

Yeah!right mate!
who give a shit! the important things is using someone code GPL and and claim it as their own!
The important thing it's just that the product is in my hands and the author make money on it!
bah! the world!
Honestly i'm tired of this story, since every time ends at "tarallucci and wine"...

 

Seriously, nothing renders this better than this classic Italian saying!I really like tarallucci and wine, though

 

I think there are plenty of misunderstandings & both sides have made their mind up without resolving them.

I'm more interested in hardware for debugging software on real hardware than playing backups.

There are caetla based solutions for that, but they all require parallel ports in your pc.

If anyone making usb hardware that allows this, I'd be willing to help out on the software side.

I'm not interested in scene drama.

 

A while ago, I built a very quick and dirty proof of concept of something like this - basically, it was an Action Replay with a FT245 USB chip wired onto it and a Lattice CPLD for glue logic. Software wise, all I ever got working for it was a simple downloader and a GDB remote debug stub - I was planning to lay out a PCB for the whole thing (including the Action Replay stuff), but never got around to it. I probably still have my notes somewhere.

 

I've been meaning to put together something like this http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ and an xplorer fx (as I have more of them than action replays ).

I know someone that has gdb working with caetla on the xplorer fx already over parallel port, so it possibly wouldn't be such a big deal to hack that too.

But I've gone off soldering at the moment (I have plenty of other projects lined up that need some hardware work too).

 

The thing I never liked about the xplorer was that it didn't have any ECP/EPP support, so reading data from it was really slow, since you had to do 4 read cycles per byte - the original AR was a lot better in this respect since it used straight 8-bit transfers. My basic idea was to shrink the hardware down to the USB chip, the CPLD and some flash (and possibly a little serial EEPROM for the USB devids - but that could probably be emulated in the CPLD, too).

I disassembled the code in the AR ROM that talked to the host, but I'm not sure where my notes are - the address 0x1F06000x is in my head, but I can't remember if that was the AR, Xplorer or both....

 

Just FYI if you're looking for a parallel port, you can get them off ebay which convert a PCI slot into a printer port, if you're using windows then the software is pretty configurable for modes and whatnot, it isn't in linux but I've got it working with a willem programmer, lspci shows it as: '07:01.0 Serial controller: Device 4348:5053 (rev 10)', though it's not a serial device, there are boards which have serial ports on though using the same chip and loading the driver in linux is a bit of a pain, it's supplied as a blob only).
