    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Agreed. I'll have to add the Value line note to the guide that seems very good info.

    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).

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Their not exactly lousy, just 'mid tier'. Their are better CD-Rs out there. They work pretty good, but not amazing if that makes sense. Still better then a lot of other trash brands out there now... The goal of the CD-R guide is to make it as simple and scientific as possible. It's a...

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

    Indeed, I was very excited when I got this feature working because not only can Tonyhax International FreePSXBoot 'uninstall' itself, but one can also use the tonyhax international boot cd to format any FreePSXBoot memory card, unirom, original tonyhax, etc. Not many tools can handle the...
