Please describe the error (copy the error/post a screenshot if necessary) and perhaps somebody could help you. Windows XP is very old, but so was the compiler (Visual Studio Ultimate 2010) I used to write this program.

This is an early European set, which has ROM 1.20. If your FMCB installation is a normal version and was made using a newer model, then that would be why it isn't working - this PS2 expects a different filename.

If you're referring to what l_Oliveria has mentioned before, it's because he encountered some cases where these models stop working properly due to the clock generator chip failing. Over the years, I got two SCPH-10000 consoles. Both seem to have developed failures with similar symptoms: the...

PMAP was based on copied code. I don't think it's something that can be just fixed, if even the Sony tool does not help you. Either way, I have no plans to make further updates. Sorry. PMAP supports up to the H & I-chassis SCPH-50000. That leaves at least 1 SCPH-50000 model that was not...

Sorry, I forgot to mention FMCB. But again, it's only done by FMCB v1.9x. I copied the code, but don't have documentation for it.

I don't have the answers to the crux of your questions, but they never had to add compatibility to fit the new hardware because all PS2s were meant to be forward and backward-compatible with the software. The chips within the T10000 were shared with the SCPH-10000. That PS2 has more of less the...

They're unique. The serial number also makes up the console and i.Link IDs, which are meant to be unique.

The "towers" grow with the number of games that you have played, as well as the number of times they were booted. The data in the history file on the memory card keeps track of the towers' growth. The time is stored in the RTC, which is backed by the battery. System settings are stored in the...

No, it never did.

I vaguely remember that the goal was to disconnect the EEPROM so that the serial number will be 0xffffffff. The old PSPs only expect that. Depends on what you are expecting. Even if it's not the sort that can have a full CFW, there's the LCFW route. What was blinking? If you did the mod...

What he meant is that there are some flaming hoops to jump though, before it will work like ESR does with DVDs. CD-ROM sectors are actually 2352 bytes in size, but the format depends on what sort of track it is; data sectors have 2048 bytes of storage, while audio tracks will have all 2352 bytes...

I don't believe the PlayStation itself supported VCDs, normally. Nocash didn't explain in this thread why Asia/Japan sets need extra hardware, but it could be due to how his code works (to get the disc accepted - it may be linked to the unlock command).

The chip was first changed with the SCPH-70000 (to CXR716080). I would think that it started to become universal with the SCPH-70000 (ROM v2.00), but it was not completed by then; it had the universal DVD ROM, but not PS1DRV. EECONF from v2.00 (SCPH-70000) does not support the mechanism to...

The EEPROM that is mentioned in the wiki does not contain the MECHACON's firmware; it only contains keys and settings. The people behind the dump did not elaborate much, so this thread has quite a bit of speculations made so far. For all we could know, the MECHACON chip models installed are...
