Can get it to consistently load audio cd image, and read it from start to finish, but no luck loading unirom nor a game, seems there's a problem with region unlocking (works fine for Paulo, not for me but we are not in the same region, Europe here)

Can't wait for someone else to try and help :P

EDIT: tried loading unirom (bin/cue on picostation) via freepsxboot (on memory card), it works !!!

That's amazing! Looking forward to the Chinese make a reliable pcb of it already builded.
Searching for a pu-18, finally, because xStation is too expensive and difficult to import here in Brazil.
Let's hope someone develop a software like xStation, so we can load everything and play on it.
Is this will be necessary solder components like xStation?

Yes soldering is mandatory (and even harder, some pin lifting too), it's exactly the same way to install as the xstation

Can't wait to get an image loader too, would be so much easier to try different games, but that means someone has to code it ^^

well, i pass. Really want an ODE like the Dreamcast one. Solder is not an option to me. Even find a PU-18 is very hard on my country. I found PU-20 and PU-22 only. Some PU-18 but in no-use condition.

I’ve built the board and after a lot of tries was able to boot Castlevania once.
This project has a long way to go but I can’t remember when was the last time I was so excited to see the game booting into the main menu 😂

I have a few of the parts so far. I have the pcb, pico & sd card holder. Waiting on the other parts to arrive to get this one finished.
