I was making a new short-loop bug patch for GCC v5.3.0, and I think that I know what the new fix for the short loop bug was about. Without it, GCC...
What's wrong with the other two PSX consoles? Do you know if this PSX that locks up, has the same firmware version as the one that you took the...
In the systool_3.0.1.pdf file of the SONY PS2SDK documentation, an "Update Tool for the Debugging Station (EXPANSION BAY Type)" is mentioned. It...
Why did you have to replace the metal arm with the plastic one? Historically, the plastic parts were known to wear out, causing reading problems.
It's not my code, but SCEI's. The revision is never passed to GCC and Binutils. The new version of the workaround is enabled at compile-time of...
Most people here who ask about this problem, got their units like that. They were simply heavily used by their previous owners, to a point where...
I remember that I could set the channel to AV IN, but I just don't remember how I did it and my PSX has been disconnected from the TV and mains....
The PC in it is slow, but shouldn't be much of a problem because it serves as a communications processor. If you put a board in that is too new, I...

Instead of entering reset 2 100, enter reset 0x000f0002 0x100. On a side note, I hope that you know that nobody was meant to log into the TOOL...
Try using 0x000f0002 0x100 as boot parameters instead, to disable the newer runtime checks. If you can, don't change the disc's type because...
