    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    Flash Tool would be software tools for building new ROM images. A new application for this is currently under development. However, to have this on the console, the original BIOS chip must be replaced with a new chip with a custom ROM. Examples of chips that work are: MX29LV320, MX29LV640. These...

    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    If you look in the 'files' folder, there are the scripts for each model, they would be the starting point for the ROMIMG task list, but the heavy lifting is done by MAKEROM.bat. --- Se você olhar a pasta 'files', lá estão os scripts para cada modelo, eles seriam o ponto de partida para a...

    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    Look at the possibilities of having a customizable ROM, running without mechacom, dsp and lan, if we can remove things, we can also add others, like a bus for high-speed reading, endless possibilities, I understand very little about programming, so I think that in the right hands the project can...

    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    I found some small problems with ROMING. We can't have very long directories, because this directory is written inside the ROM, and ends up corrupting it. Another problem is with files named "_", there are usually about 4 or 5 of them, and ROMING doesn't recreate them when recompiling the new...

    By making good welds, the work can be undone later and returning your 75k to its original state.

    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    I remember seeing some projects to burn flash, with stm32f407, but I think they can be easily adapted to the rp2040, if you choose a flash with SOP44 encapsulation, you can solder without the need for PCBs, I have one like this as shown in the photo above.

    75k and 77k use the same ROM, and it is very similar to 79k and 90k, it won't be difficult to do.

    Creating custom ROMs for the PS2

    I'm sharing here a project that was experimental in nature, but I noticed a lot of interest in it from the community, so here we go! I created this for personal use, so it's very rudmentary, made with a simple command prompt script and some free tools. The package doesn't contain any PS2 ROMs...

    Hello guys! How are you? I'll be sharing all my work on the custom ROM on this forum. It's very rudimentary, because I did it at the time thinking it would be useless, hehe. I see that guy is here, great to see that, he created PS2BBL, and PS2BBL was the key piece of this work, I can't help but...

    accidentally I discovered if you delete the line that contains the MAC ADDRESS from the eeprom, the network is not initialized, and in this way the network chip can be removed without generating any problems at startup, connecting the CE2 pin of the bios to the gnd of the ROM1 not is loaded...
