PSIO Supposedly Working

Thanks for this, it does look good (though I'm no judge, admittedly, I'm not a hardware person at all), and I look forward to hearing what other people say when the test units are sent out.

What do you mean for the PS2? Do you mean McBoot + Open PS2 Loader + hard drive (which is fantastic, BTW), or is there a specific backup device for the PS2?

Oh yes, won't that be great? An Atari Jaguar device might be good too (I'm thinking about buying a Jaguar at some point - I've never had an Atari console, and with the Jaguar I'd finally get to play the original Alien vs Predator FPS), and apparently would probably be the easiest disc base console* to make a backup device for, since it's CD addon connected via the cartridge socket.

* Alright, so the Jaguar is a cartridge based console, but it does have CD games too, which can be simulated via a backup device.

Yes, like everyone else here, I do want to see this project brought to fruition, and if it is genuine then we'll all be happy to admit that our suspicions were wrong. What sort of compatibility (with games I mean, not with PS1 units) do you estimate the PSIO will have? What games definitely run at the moment, and what don't, please?

 

Here, added some

 

And sega-cd

 

Oh yes, indeed, how did I forget this one.

 

Conker2012 - I was referring to the ages old PS2 HDLoader, the next best thing since sliced bread

 

Oh right. Have you tried Open PS2 Loader (http://psx-scene.com/forums/f150/open-ps2-loader-project-v0-9-a-62141/), it's much more compatible than HDLoader (Deus Ex: The Conspiracy, for example, won't work with HDLoader, but does with OPL). Plus if you boot with McBoot (http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/) then you don't even need a disc in the DVD drive at all, you can boot (faster) from your memory cards.

 

i didnt change logo- it's such a pirate disc w/ multi game as one person asked me to load one.

compatibility: many games work well. others don't show video but play game. another freeze at movie stage. but we work under reasons / compatibility

psio for ps1 was first idea, next one for dreamcast and maybe for ps2 (ps1 + ps2 games). next i dont know. as i haven't any other cd consoles , maybe only gamecube. but if someone send - it quite possible. basic principles for creating "cd emu" is quite similar.

 

There pretty much is a GC one already using an FPGA on the net, it's not complete but it's a good base from what I remember reading.

 

WII emulators are compatible with GC, DVD drive bus and protocol is same in GC and WII.

 

Yeah, pretty much.

It's just a pity all the youtube videos skip over the how to do it and just show them playing gamecube games, which is pointless as we've all seen someone playing a gamecube game before.

Of course you could pay for someone to do it for you.

That looks like it would not be fun, someone was building a pcb that made it easier but I'm not sure if it was ever finished.

 

http://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=416 this is how to do it except just get the quick solder board from mega and flash Swiss to it.

 

Oh this is good. Send a prototype to someone who is already kissing the ass of those who can't prove the damn thing is real. Send it to Bad_Ad84, if he says it's legit then it's legit. If you send it to a fellow ass kisser of yours it'll just look like more propaganda bullshit and nobody will buy into it.

Also readily apparent that a few have signed on and I agree that testers should get free/discounted units. Basically selling them a non-final product and asking for a decent amount of cash for something that may have a massive flaw that needs fixing to obtain high compatibility.

 

where i can get free parts? free pcb? free firmware?

another words, it looks like, you offer me kiss ass of BadAd until he says "it's legit")))

current version is not for selling at all.

basically, it works on the same principles like ED, so if psio is not "Legit" - same for ED. but i see even independent threads on this forum. so i dont see any reasons to chk is it "legit" or not. we are all in one boat)))

 

The word Legit is clearly lost in translation here. I think RJ is trustable and not kissing anyone's ass and his review should suffice for people to make a definite opinion on the realness of this project.

 

Well, in his early development of the Everdrive, Mr. Krikzz did not send any out for testing because he had a few friends helping him at home. All we knew about them were from his few posts, and a couple of videos which I'm sure someone could find a fault in. The difference here is that PSIO has taken some amount of donations, whereas Krikzz did not, he built them totally on his own with his own money. Again, where are the donators razing hell? Haven't see any.

 

Well, I donated 10$ to PSIO last year, during the project's earlier stage.
I had no reason to doubt the intent of the PSIO team, nor did I ever truly believed this could be a hoax, for reasons I stated earlier, basically this would be a pretty retarded hoax...

This being said, I also considered the possibility of the project not reaching fruition for whatever reason, but I was ready to take a risk with this small donation. 10$ Is not the end of the world.
For about the last 3 years I did not buy any new big commercial games ( except diablo III). Instead I put my money in indie games, kick starters and cool projects that captured my interest like PSIO.

 

actually idea to send psio to RJ was not for review /proof/advertisment.
i offered him chk it out for free. and then, if he liked it - he can buy it.
so the purpose was not money, but enjoy. he decide send money early by himself. and he can get back $ whenever he want.

 

we thnx for donation but it's not automatically means - that we will get good results and send to donators 100% device. donation is not pay for job.
we show how we spend money.

 

Which makes no sense. I was approached by the psio team, I accepted to say it works and demo it, yet you want to charge me $80. Then you are going to send it to RJ for free?

Can you not see how you look like you have no idea what you are doing? This is why people are highly suspicious of this whole thing. You are causing this yourself with how you are handling things.

You approach me - want $80
Someone approaches you - offer it for free.

What?

 

you had started worry about money. so we leave them in safety. - what's problem. just relax.
