    Hacking PS1/2 Homebrew app GSHAX Tool: Create PSX GameShark Codes That Gain Code Execution Mid-Game

    Guess not. How do you play fear effect or parasite eve like that? Those are just 2 examples of games that require a disc change normally in game play, with no option to save and then reset the console with i.e. disc 2? 1715956881 The executable could probably be extracted but I’m still not sure...

    To give to Sony so that when they come to your house you can show them your console and real game discs ;)

    There are also ADs! Anyways, I tried Tonyhax international for laughs, and it unsurprisingly doesn’t work (no real BIOS file is used by this). On the other hand, open 95 keygen psx works just fine! https://alex-free.github.io/open95keygen-psx/ Neat, but going to delete it. ZodTTD is super...

    Hacking PS1/2 Tonyhax International: Backup Loader For All Japanese, USA, and PAL PS1 Consoles/Early PS2 Consoles + GameShark/Cheat Cart Flasher

    That's all super janky tho, don't you think? I know of these methods to format FreePSXBoot memory cards besides what you mention: 1) Unirom (the **cough** competition) 2) Very recent MemCardRex via PS3MCA (PS3MCA is awesome!) 3) MottZilla's MCTool There were reports that some games could...

    It’s definitely hard out here, economy sucks. Info is here when you’re ready. Seems like a waste to throw out a good CD-R tho? CD-Rs have enabled me to do a lot more then I’d ever be able to with my console and budget if you know what I mean. I definitely, totally, have more then one Japanese...

    It's like 50 something cents a disc f(including shipping) for that last listing I posted. The way I could justify it is you never need to waste money going to the store to buy garbage CD-Rs for the rest of your life (if you really are so sparing with them :)). The store bought ones are crazy...

    I'm unsure what fulfilled from outside Canada means. I just put my VPN to Canada and searched it up. What would be the issue with the listing I linked (genuinely curious USA noob).

    The US still has quite a good used market for them. It's sad when I hear people in Europe explain how shipping there works (if it is even offered for whatever ebay listing). I think anything previous to your 760 IIRC should be a great pick, but for whatever reason the 708 is extremely cheaper...

    Hacking PS1/2 Tonyhax International: Backup Loader For All Japanese, USA, and PAL PS1 Consoles/Early PS2 Consoles + GameShark/Cheat Cart Flasher

    Sounds like my past experiences before I perfected my setup. CMC Pro I'm pretty sure was originally recommended by a Canadian because it was available on Amazon. JVC Taiyo Yuden is also cheapish and essentially the same thing. My Japanese SCPH-1000 launch PSX from 1994 (apparently the 'worst...

    Yes, Cyanide dye is best, then AZO, then SuperAZO, after those whatever else is left is really not great for compatibility. The guide isn't even really PSX specific to a point, even my VA 0 Japanese launch Dreamcast really likes the CMC Pros but hates i.e. Maxell.

    The only thing I would touch by CMC Magnetics is the CMC Pro Powered By Taiyo Yuden Technologies line, simply because all of the Taiyo Yuden engineers went their after the last factory closed. They brought the best manufacturing process to them for that line only, it really is just Taiyo Yuden...

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
