Compendium when? :P

No Q-tips needed, just dump the whole bottle on that thing :P

Sorry, I could have sworn that the previous page was the last one... Glad you got it fixed though :)

Yeah, the best tip here is to get a better soldering iron. Seriously, that should just be a fairly simple heat to un-bridge that. You can get decent irons for a not too bad price so I recommend that.

I'm guessing since "the board won't boot without them" ;) and since it's likely one of the few bidirectional communication lines, it was likely to be that. Either that or just trial and error. EDIT: or, even more efficiently, he took a component off, tested, if it still booted, rinse repeat...

Viva la revolución Seriously, between Lightning's DEV9 stuff, and your trimming and documentation work, the PS2 will be alive for portabilzing. :D

Well, seems that won't be happening. I stopped at my mom's to pick up the old fat, and I'm pretty sure it was thrown away :| Sorry.

Not sure what I have, I haven't opened the fat up, and it's been years since I opened up the slim. I'll have to look later when I get home.

Sounds like exactly what I'd do :) EDIT: hmm... I have both a slim and fat ps2, as well as a logic analyzer. Want me to grab you some captures on that if I can manage it?

Think of a logic analyzer as a digital oscilloscope. All it does it is let you look at digital signals. You'll have to determine if it's going in or out. If a signal goes high, it will be registered as a 1 and if it goes low it will register as a 0. The main advantage of a logic analyzer is you...

Looks like all of the code for the dev9 stuff is actually right in the homebrew ps2sdk... Particularly, the code in here: https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2sdk/tree/master/iop/dev9 Looks like there's a "libhdd" that uLaunchELF uses, the library has some functions to check for an HDD and read from...

doing a bit of reseach, it seems that you can call syscalls with an assembly instruction called "syscall". You place a value in a specific register to tell it which syscall you want to call, then execute the instruction. Not sure which reg it needs to be put into, but I did find some syscall...

Usually syscalls are called via an instruction. Not sure for MIPS, but I'd imagine it's the same. I'd recommend reading some MIPS docs to figure out the specifics

Their website is really slow, even on a decent connection. Clicking on what should be a direct link instead takes you to their crappy website UI. The forum pictures are easy to view in full quality, while in some cases you must download images from photobucket to view them in full quality.

Can you PLEASE stop using photobucket? It's really annoying how they do things, and the forums allow you to directly upload pics here for archiving reasons. Just a friendly request :P

Check the compendium. You can find all of the info you need there.

Looks like the data wires might be shorting to ground in this pic: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?attachments/img_4748-jpg.2193/ Not sure if that'd cause your issues with the reset stuff, though.

If this works.... How the hell did everyone miss this O.o Can't wait to see the results :) OT: Why are certain words being hyperlinked on here? I've noticed "test" and "system" today... Maybe @Noah can shed some light? EDIT: to be clear, I did not hyperlink those two words...

+1 viewing things in a digital sense is nice, not to mention usually cheaper than a scope

How did I miss this :| Thanks
