The launch of the PlayStation back in 1995

This is an article published on Zeta (Italian magazine) in March 1995. I have translated it into English. It is a memo of the January 19 and 20 1995 London's meeting. Hope you like it!

"Whatever you're thinking... it's not enough," was the motto with which Sony presented its latest creation, the PlayStation, at the Technical Workshop held in a London hotel last January 19 and 20. If the message sounds a bit exaggerated to you, it means you haven't had a chance to try Ridge Racer or Toh Shin Den. The conference began with a nervous Phil Harrison , director of software development at Sony Electronic Publishing, entertaining the many visitors with a long speech; incredibly, the entire interactive entertainment industry was present at the meeting. The atmosphere that had been created after only a few minutes wa...

The Memory Editor

To an experienced GS hacker, the Memory Editor function of the GSPro is one of the most powerful tools around. Without it, some codes would be almost impossible to hack, and testing would be ridiculously time-consuming. Put on your thinking cap (what a gay expression) and concentrate for a moment. So where do I start? Well, the Memory Editor has two main options, besides simple scrolling and editing, which I will discuss later on. First, there is the "Goto Address" option. This is very simple (besides the stupid name); input an address, push "X" and you'll go to that address in memory. Next, there is the "Text Search" option. Its expl...

This Tutorial briefly explains how to load various files on a formatted Hdd for PS2 using the PC and PS2 connected to the network. Needed : FlashFxp; Execftp; Xlink; Method : Now you have to load the games on hdd; here's how to do it: To load the games on the hard disc there are various methods: using the PS2 player directly or using the pc. The first method is also the simplest as it is enough to start hdloader and insert the game to be copied to hdd inside the PS2 player, but this method is also the most harmful because in the long run it ruins the PS2 lens (as it happened to me, so I don't recommend it ..) There are two other m...

What is it ? : Exploit is a method to start an elf file (Playstation 2 executable) on a Playstation 2 without modification or mod-chip. To do this we exploit a bug that the PS2 have except the Slim ones, the later type, the thinner ones to be clear (from v12 onwards). So first of all we need to have a normal PS2 (the big one, that is, up to v10) and an original playstation game. The elf can be any program, from hdloader to launchelf to start other elves! Needed : Independence Compiler; The program (.elf) to be started on ps2; An original PsOne game; A Memory Card for Ps2 with enough free space (the space required varies depending on the ...

This modification is for people who only want RGBS output on their PS2. Other video modes will not function properly. CSYNC is taken directly from the GPU and routed to the video connector; while also removing sync on green in 31Khz + Modes by not allowing CSYNC to travel to the DAC. The 3000X and lower is different from the later models; as it has a different DAC; which allows to disable SOG conveniently by grounding pin32. This mod can be done multiple different ways. The method below was chosen for the ability to return the unit to stock form. That is why parts are removed as opposed to traces cut. There are two available scart cables ...

Playstation 1 bluetooth controller mod

2 Weeks ago I came across a PS1 controller bluetooth mod by /u/Dementat_Deus on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/49thdc/i_converted_a_ps1_controller_to_bluetooth/). The mod was very clean and I knew right away I wanted to give it a go too. In fact I ordered the parts 15 minutes after I read the post. There is one major issue with this build though that I wanted to address. The Bluefruit EZ-Key Bluetooth module used in this build only has 12 inputs for buttons, but the PS1 controller has 14 buttons. Because of that 2 of the buttons are not working. /u/Dementat_Deus used those but...
