I meant formatted, with the HDD Utility Disc that installs the PSBBN. I doubt that they were made to have no use though. Given that they were...
The disk should be set to Master. Did you try the format option? It isn't impossible for the disk to be already bad (I.e. has bad sectors).
I hope that someone would finally have access to such a disk, to confirm that such a thing does exist and the one that Trimesh got wasn't just a...
I didn't get one. It was @l_oliveira who did. That's because there has to be a ATA Master, so that switch must be always set to device 0.
What's the error? For best effects, use a genuine SONY 8MB card. You must already have a way to run homebrew software. If you need ideas, the...
They're just files. Unless you're talking about a specific game engine, the .MAP files could be anything. If you see no files on the disc, then...
I looked through a couple of the service manuals that I have, and that crystal X202 (54MHz) is the same on both the US (01) and European...
What are you trying to do? What do you mean by "locked"? What platform is this about?
I remember you mentioning this before. But how did you determine that? The PS2's video modes can be programmed (i.e. not fixed modes implemented...
I've never see a PlayStation multitap in real life, so I don't know whether it works the same way or not. But for the PlayStation 2 multitap, it...
The Multitap designed for the slim PS2 will not be compatible with the fat PS2, as it has a different form factor. The same thing goes for the...
The PlayStation 2 will output a video signal that is specified by the program/game. So if your games are NTSC games, NTSC will be output. Even on...
DEX units are region-free, although their PlayStation drivers are still hardcoded to support the region that the DEX was made for (i.e. PAL DEX ->...
The first DEX units that got made (DTL-H100xx and DTL-H300xx) do not support FMCB/FHDB because they could not decrypt MagicGate files. The newer...
You can use a late SCPH-90000 series to install FMCB, even if it does not support FMCB itself. To install FMCB for the PSX, you must choose the...
The firmware failures are caused by sectors failing. There will be NO actual fix for physical damage, ever. Even if you write a new firmware into...
I actually tried wedging the battery from my PSP-3005 into one of my fat PSPs. It will really just refuse to boot with a newer battery inserted....
But lol, having a broken/incomplete system (i.e. broken LCD or dead battery) makes it much less a PlayStation Portable.
It depends. Having debug information does not necessarily mean that it will take up more RAM because the PS2 kernel will ignore the non-loadable...
I think that it'll likely work because that's the (homebrew'ish) known location Master Disc data. But probably nobody found such a thing before...
