hmm, kinda strange - did you choose chassis in the selection menu? It seems like it is not selected.

@finalman did you used last version from here? https://github.com/ps2homebrew/PMAP/releases/tag/latest Also, you didnt provide pmap.log from app folder.

For the records mechapwn changes console behaviour not to the devkit (Development Kit) but to the debkit (Debug Kit). Debug Kit has almost the same hardware as retail models, only mechacon, dsp and roms are different.

should work now, please test https://github.com/AKuHAK/PS2Ident/releases/tag/latest

yes, there is something wrong with my build, I will try to investigate when I have time.

should match the GH-019

@Lambada about Power on only button. In some cases it is safer to use that button, cause it will not reset console if it is already powered on. So it can be useful for some scenarios.

Do you have board pics? Never hear about old DSP in 79k. @Alex Boanta could you also for FATs collect BIOS chip marking?

it is no the only way, but other ways are too hard to achieve. It is possible to get into unlimited TESTMODe by writing specially corrupted FAN config into eeprom area. But anyway you need to solder PMAP to get rid of it by issuing commands to mechacon processor. c8d00 command most likely will...

this is "next step". Firstly PSX reads from DVRP where is the "cross" mark (2Gb or 40Gb), then it goes there, splits HDD into 2 virtual HDD devices: hdd0 and dvr_hdd0. And only then it reads dvr_hdd0 content, including "__extend" partition. "__extend" for dvr_hdd0 is the same as "__mbr" for...

1st gen PSX has PS2BBN but it is very limited and is coded as DESR firmware module but PSX firmware isnt driven by Linux (more like PS2 elf). BTW original PS2Linux will refuse to install onto DESR - Sony blocked Linux installation. As about 40GB reservation, its done very similar to Toxic OS...

Sure, but journaling can also occur randomly, APA driver can rewrite journal when it notices something strange in APA scheme, and linux version of ATAD also can do that. APA driver assumes that sectors 7-10 belongs only to him. It is not writing there every second of course, but it can do that...

APA jail has its limitations. GPT partition table and APA filesystem journal uses the same sectors for storing data, so its just matter of time until APA will update the journal and successfully destroy GPT partition scheme. For example it is enough to put Audio CD and BBNav will create temp...

Nice, didnt know about that, this is very cool hack. ah, yes, sorry, 48-bit support was added in different way - by completely replacing Sony driver with ps2sdk driver. This is not applicable for BBNav unfortunately. actually it doesnt differ much from the code you placed earlier, it has the...

Didnt found it in psx-pace, made by @krHACKen : see attached file. It is patching any atad.irx based app or driver to support 48-bit. As I understand you will loose ability to browse online channels after that, even if you redirect them into mirror. Correct me if I am wrong, cause if Scej CH...
