It will amuse some to note that I am, in fact, involved in the Yabause LLE effort - although I want to make it very clear that d356 and Cyber...
It's that simple, and that hard. The audio stream doesn't go through the CDB CPU and its buffers. It goes from dedicated lines on the MPEG card...
Update time! I finally found myself with some spare time and energy this weekend. I ended up knocking up most of a firmware update system; the...
Yes, absolutely: everything will be within the footprint of the standard MPEG card.
Or you can leave it off, or cut a hole in a spare door, or etc etc. Hi-Saturns, for one. Also the wacky karaoke one, though it has a footprint on...
Well, the menu software already has region-free mode... and since it has access to the USB drive you could use it for backup to USB too. But yeah,...
For prototypes, drag soldering works wonderfully. For full-scale production, I will probably job it out to the same assembly house that I use for...
Yes, except the ones without an MPEG slot! That was part of the reason for doing it this way and not through the cart port - the original CD...
I know I've mentioned how there will be direct filesystem access from within Saturn software. Well, I've decided it's time to open up the beta...
Well, I submitted my PhD and got a real job! So I'll be Dr. jhl shortly. In the mean time I've been getting to grips with spending 40+ hours of...
Correct. It will work on all release Saturns - at least those with an MPEG slot of course. I have incorporated the region patcher that I wrote...
Precisely. Feasible in theory, but it'd be a tremendous effort; you'd have to route all the high-speed signals all the way over the card, find an...
Indeed. Writing emulators for various things has actually been a major boost to my development productivity; I have greatly enjoyed this. There's...
Still a couple of weeks' work left. When I'm done, there will be a proper announcement and a full update on status - there has been a lot of...
This project uses accurate timing, so the original 1x/2x speeds apply. It would be possible to drive it faster, but depending on the software's...
No. You can already use that RAM by writing sectors to the CD block and reading them back later (although this is poorly documented, the Put...
The last time I worked on this I got up to loading files happily from a USB key. I don't have any time to work on this again until I finish my...
Mostly because it's a lot of work and nobody has had the time. Emulating the SH-1 is accurate, but complex, and burns a lot of pointless cycles....
PS contains a bunch of support code - fonts, menus, etc. If you were to toss out all the user interface, the core loader would be <4kB. How many...
As I mentioned, I'm exceedingly busy with the rest of my life at the moment. I'll definitely post when I have some interesting progress, no fear!
