    Gaming Nintendo Switch/3DS cartridge lifespan

    I've seen multiple posts through the internet about people worried that their cartridges could die anytime in the future due, and given I have a significant collection, I decided to stop guessing like everyone else seems to be doing and start researching into the matter. First we should talk...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    That game will just not work on a PS2, because of a dirty hack they used when translating the game. From issues 95 where I fixed this: And issue 99 where I rolled back the previous change:

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Hello everyone. I need some betatesters: https://github.com/socram8888/tonyhax/files/6760603/tonyhax-v1.4.2b.zip Specially those owning a PS2, as I've made some changes those consoles might not like. If everything's working fine I'll make a new release.

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    It's possible but I can't do it myself as I don't have any hardware that supports those devices to test it.

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    For the record, type D stands for "disc", and it means a read error from the physical disc (as opposed to type B or "boot" which would be that the data could be read but made no sense). Code 12 means an error occured while reading the table of contents (the very first action performed when...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Just finished with v1.4.1, available at https://github.com/socram8888/tonyhax/releases/tag/v1.4.1 Changelog Improved entrypoint stability, which fixes random red screens in the bowling games (issues #89, #90) Reduced BIOS initialization time, spending less time in the green screen of death...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    @duwen ... yellow screen? Do you mean the green one? If so that's indeed expected, as in order to fix a bugged game (Test Drive 6) I clean the entire console's RAM using the super slow on-ROM bcopy method, which takes its sweet time to finish. In v1.4.1 it will still do it, but it'll be less...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Just released v1.4! It's been just two days since the last release, but this one comes with very fancy and juicy improvements! Changelog Added automatic patching against anti-mochip. Fixes #37, #74 and #76, plus probably every game out there that hadn't been reported yet. Added an option to...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    @duwen thanks for the reports! I've closed the first one. The second one is probably still a pending issue that might not be even fixable, as I think it might depend on the settings used by PS1DRV. For everyone, I went to bed at like 3am but managed to finish a beta version of v1.4, which...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Multiple addresses in a lot of files. Heck, that .XA file is an audio file that has the antipiracy hidden at the end! Anyhow I am working on v1.4. Instead of booting from the second memory card slot (which I depend of FreePSXBoot to achieve) as I wanted to implement for this version, I am...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Yeah this game is rigged with antipiracy everywhere. There's no way this can be patched from within tonyhax.

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    @DarthMotzkus I think that's also working. The antipiracy is in the main executable which I think stays resident even if you swap discs.

    Can you please try with this beta version of tonyhax? https://github.com/socram8888/tonyhax/files/6519361/tonyhax-v1.3.5b.zip I've made three different improvements that are directly related to compatibility on the PS2. Hopefully one of them fixes the issue you're experiencing.

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    I've been thinking about this. Out of curiosity, which model is your PS2? I am wondering if this bug also affects the PS2 under a certain revision, because my slim PS2 (I am not sure about the model at the moment) is totally cool with these hacked memory cards. In fact I can open uLaunchElf...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    Mmmm I've had no problem using MCA to install new updates over the old one. Could you please try connecting the memory card after launching MCA? Yeah that patch is in preparation of booting from the second memory card, so you can leave the memory card permanently connected. So far all I can...

    @ButThouMust thanks for the report. Fixed with v1.3.2: https://github.com/socram8888/tonyhax/releases/tag/v1.3.2

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    You game me a good idea. I could technically patch the BIOS to disable accesses to memory cards where FreePSXBoot is connected, effectively making as if there was no card connected to the port. Also regarding the slot 2, I honestly haven't tried launching tonyhax with the card on the second...

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    You don't need to format it or anything, just flash a new image over the old one and that's it. I'll add a note regarding the file extension. I am using .mcd instead of .mcr because that's what everybody but Annihilator (no$psx, PS1 MC Manager) uses.

    Tonyhax is a new softmod backup loader for the PlayStation 1

    I've had no issue updating the memory card image or even formatting it back to defaults using MC Annihilator while testing, so you shouldn't have any either.
