ODEs are still preferable to media that relies on mechanical disc drives, but that's pretty rad nonetheless.

>>6557504
>scrolling through a menu and playing a game with issues is better than just grabbing a game off your shelf like you would with a real copy and having no issues

>>6557525
If this means we can finally play burnt ps1 games on a dirt cheap ps2 without painfully complicated modchip install (oh God so many wires) then I'm on board. Really I'm on board for making any console as easy to pirate for as the Dreamcast currently is, where you just burn a self booting disc and set off.

>>6557525
>scrolling through a menu

filled with everything released for the console yes, much easier than having 30 binders full of discs.

>>6557626
>hey staci scroll through this mountain of shovelware instead of grabbing a game off my shelf of curated favorites
You ODE fags and your buyers remorse is getting annoying, fuck off retard.

>>6557636
>not having curated games in one folder and everything else in the other

>>6557497
Yes I saw that, it's pretty cool although as soon as a good ODE is out for the PS1 I'm gonna get it and throw out all my burned discs.

Or you can emulate, doesn't need mods or hacks either and you get a better experience overall with a lot of improvements while not having a piece of trash lying around

>>6557649
Yeah nobody has ever heard of emulation before. Fuck off.

>>6557497
OH YEAH I'M SO BUTTHURT! that solution
came ou like 30 years latter lol

This guy did say he's interested in seeing something like this for every Playstation console. But he said he wants to focus on doing it for the PS4 with a BD-J exploit first, possibly as a long term project.

>>6557497
Okay. Mechanical drives, especially on Playstation consoles, are extremely unreliable and keel over if you look at them funny. While I’m happy this is a thing I’d rather ODEs just continue to improve and get near-perfect compatibility.

>>6557675
PS1 drives are really not that unreliable. PS2's are much worse.

>>6557497
Physical media is becoming obsolete. Its like saying you invented a way of making zeppelin travels 5% faster when commercial jets already exist.

>>6557691
i prefer physical media

>>6557691
This exploit gives you a path to boot ps1 or ps2 games using a hard drive without needing to buy a memory card with Free Mcboot on it. You can just burn the installer DVD and run it.

>>6557697
That’s fine. I prefer the SNES version of Doom for equally inane reasons. Preferences don’t have to be logical.

>>6557681
>PS1 drives are really not that unreliable
Dude, I've had FIVE PS1s die on me before PS2 even came out. Meanwhile my V7 PS2 still works like a champ.

>>6557707
PS1 lasers*
helps to include that missing word*, for autists

>>6557703
it is logical though

>>6557525
>burning cd that will rot even faster with a dying laser
i can do it too you faggot.

There have been bootdiscs for PS1 (that also work in PS2s) for literally decades.

You may need to figure out if you need the shiny or black backed version for your specific console but they definitely will boot backups, you just have to swap discs without triggering the drive sensor.

The point of ODE was never just playing backups, it's replacing highly fallible hardware with a more reliable alternative. Good project and I appreciate the breakdown article, dumbass OP aside.

>>6557897
>it's replacing highly fallible hardware with a more reliable alternative

this, its funny how the poor crowd just doesn't seem to understand that.
>hurrrrrr durrrrrrrrr just burn sum cdrs hrrrrrrr

>>6557959
why cant i burn???

>>6557749
The point of this is bypassing that. Burning backups that boot without any kind of boot disc. Technically we already had that with Free McBoot but you needed it installed on a memory card already or some way to boot the installer. The cool thing about that exploit is that it could spread between memory cards like a virus. This new exploit provides a way to initially install it without having a memory card with it already installed or needing to buy something to boot the ELF to install it. Just burn and install.

>>6557707
I work in a game store and have seen literally hundreds of PS1s. They really don't fail that often. Sounds like you were doing something wrong. PS2's fail a lot more.

>>6557497
Sauce?

>>6557736
But disc rot is for people in swamps unlike broken lasers which is for.... Every single one

>>6557497
Yeah, I'd still rather have an ODE for dying lasers. That's the fucking point.

>>6557497
UniROM exists.

>>6558304
If the kind of exploit talked about in OP was discovered for the PS1 flashing it would be easier.

>>6558059
Just played a shitton of burned discs kid. Didn't help that my first PS1 was launch day system, you know the ones notorious for having shitty lasers. Pulled the ole walmart swap every time another one broke.

>>6558316
>Pulled the ole walmart swap every time another one broke.
my nigga. did that with my ps1 too. decade later did it with xbox 360

>>6558323
I miss the days when I used to peel those 360 warranty stickers with the help of a hair dryer.

>>6558059
Ive had 3 original PS and 2 of them failed, one being the laser(died while being moved in my backseat of car somehow) and the other probably had a bad capacitor or something because it just died
Also had 2 PSones and one had the spindle break(granted this was after years of doing disc swapping to play burned games)

>>6557749
Are you retarded? Did you even read the post?

>>6557497
I have not come across a single playstation that wasn't mod chipped, but cool I guess.

>>6559136
Where I am originally from nobody had a mod but we also didn't get broadband internet until 2002.

>>6557497
>relying on optical media
are you retarded or just pretending?

>>6557714
no, it's not. compatibility issues eventually get patched out and usually only affect a minority of titles, while calibrating new, chink lasers is virtually impossible and so is finding a good burner from the late '90s/early '00s for anything less than 3, maybe 4 digits. than on top of good media itself becoming exceedingly rare.
then you throw all of these variables together and it's the very definition of a crapshoot. maybe the dying psone from your childhood can still read staples cds burned with your laptop dvd drive. congrats. but keep in mind you're the exception, not the rule.
not everyone has a pic related lying around to tune the pots properly. and by doing it blindly you're the equivalent of a monkey with a wrench.

>>6559136
the problem are not the chips. the problem is relying on shitty optical media. even back in the day most burned games skipped. you had to buy from "reputable" vendors who used good media and burners.

>>6559149
2002? that's pretty early, i knew only one other person who already had broadband when i got it in 2006, he had it since 2004

>I have my PS1 modchipped so fuck everyone else retards lol im so fricking smart
>No I refuse to look at other applications for this, I just unplug my PS1 when I go to visit friends

>>6557497
>is going to make a PS1 solution
have you actually read (and understood) the page?

>there's really no reason this general attack scenario is specific to the PlayStation 2

that's like saying "I'm working on exploiting the PS1, I already finished the logo".

dunno pretty much every ps1 that i've come across have been chipped. would've been more useful 20+ years ago imo, but whatever.

>>6557649
fuck off poorfag, nobody cares.

>>6559172
WTF there was broadband in my shithole town in 2000.

>>6559595
yea well, what can you expect from a place on earth that is apparently too insignificant to even bother drawing on a lot of simplified maps
we're most of the size of japan, not some tiny island, yet it's not on for example this map

>>6559667
You've got the last laugh at the moment at least, you guys have basically beaten 'rona for the time being, meanwhile I'm watching fuckwits cause a spike around me because they couldn't go a fucking month without swapping spit as a greeting.

Neat. Ps1 modchips are still cheap though so it doesn't matter much to me that I got one for mine.

>>6559302
You’re the only one who has no idea what’s going on or any of this means gramps now put the name back on

Hopefully this tanks the cost of official physical copies

Disc rot is a meme. Die Gabe you fat kike

>>6559170
>shitty optical media
Die Gabe you fat kike.
Optical media is the king of data storage for longevity despite what the video game and digital distribution industries want you to think

>>6558059
Probably depends on the model but old PS1s are notorious for the laser crapping out.

>>6560549
He's talking about bad quality discs, anon. Some people's PS1s are super picky. Not as bad as Saturns, though.

>>6557497
sweet!

>>6559167
>good burner from the late '90s/early '00s

>>6557749
Those don't work with multi disc games.

>>6560810
How many multi disc games don't give you a save point between discs?

>>6557987
Are you saying this is a softmod for PS1?

>>6557497
will this make the price of PS1 consoles go up?

>>6561085
No because of the upcoming PS1 FPGA
>>6561062
>i-is this a s-softmod
Pic related

>>6558059
i've owned 3 psx's, one just plain died (couldn't tell you why, i was younger and couldn't diagnose it), the other two's lasers eventually had trouble reading discs, i ended up playing psx games mostly on my ps2 instead

>>6559167

tell that to the autists over at club.myce.

there are some homebrew but they're not exactly accurate.

>>6561136
>PS1 FPGA
Link? Who is working on this?

>>6561136
Do you feel smart? I hope you do. Anyway, I just went ahead and went to the OP link since no one seems to actually be discussing the method itself. Looks like it's a header to load a PS2 softmod directly from a burned DVD. I doubt very much this will ever run PS1 games in native mode or be implemented on native PS1 hardware, regardless of one idly speculative paragraph.

Why would I bother telling aspie zoomers anywhere else anything? There are plenty here.

Discs last longest of all external storage you can choose from. Like 100 years. They will outlast the actual system.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this means

>you can create Free McBoot Cards easily instead of buying one,
>or simply run the same shit from a DVD
>play burnt patched PS2 games without any console modification at all.

But it still doesn't affect the PS1 side of things. Because PS1 mode on the PS2 disables DVD so isn't vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the DVD firmware.

>>6561983
Wouldn't the same initial overflow on the DVD just let the PS1 game play?

>>6557649
yeah bro this is totally better than just popping in a disc

>>6561991
it unironically is, who the fuck thinks having less options is a good thing?
the only downfall of emulation is accuracy.

>>6561986
I don't think so because at the moment this still uses ESR. Again I may be wrong but, ESR can't play PS1 games burnt to DVD because the PS2 disables DVD once it enters PS1 Mode which it must do in order to play PS1 games.

As it stands somebody would still have to write another piece of software.

>>6561773

These must've models using lasers other than the 440BAM (considered the best laser).

Look up what a strawman is and stop being illogical with your image macros.

t. an anon that knows that discs last forever, consoles that are chipped beat emulation (obviously) and am too poor to own a collection of whom hates capitalism but doesn't have a degree.

>>6561983
true, the claim seems to be that they're working on a PS1 version of it though

does this work on ps2 cd games like ridge racer v?

>>6566101
no ps2 games that i know of actually use any CD features besides just the one data track, so i imagine you could just burn the cd image onto a dvd and it'll work

>>6564015

Does this means we can easily install FreeMcBoot to memory card?
Or simply just have all the relevant homebrew on USB flash drive?

>>6567524
What is being described here is a method to burn homebrew to disc that will boot directly so yes, it should be possible to burn a disc that boots into a file manager and easily copy the bootloader files directly onto the memory card.

>>6557497
>The guy who made FreeDVDBoot is going to make a PS1 solution that exploits the PS1's CD player
Where did you even heard of this? His official website clearly doesn't talk about any of this, just the PS2 exploit, and google searching it only gives results for the PS2 exploit and PS4 homebrew stuff he did.

>>6567524
Yes, this does mean fucktards will be paying $10 for a CDR to install FMCB

>>6568118
>from which youtube channel did you get your opinion?

>>6567965

>>6569053
you Europeans and your weird PS2 models. it probably is, but you shouldn't be relying on it anyway.
get a pre-modded MC and stream the games. there are a couple ways to do this if you're invested enough.

>>6567965
there's been an installer for a long time now, it will be pretty cool to have a self-booting fmcb installer
and yes, while self-booting games dreamcast style would be pretty cool, fcmb only needs a memory card, which you need anyway, and has things this can't do, like skip the bios boot animation, so i'd keep using that if you have it already

>>6569092
>you Europeans and your weird PS2 models.
he probably just mistyped it, and it's an SCPH-77004
the only difference between US and EU model numbers is that US ones end with "1" and EU with "4" (4 isn't just eu though, it includes all PAL countries)

>>6569105
>he probably just mistyped it
Seething apologist

>>6569105
I know, it's actually 77004. but Europe gets a ton of unique models nonetheless.
some really exquisite PS1 revisions were only made available in Europe.

Yes. This should be obvious.
Yes/sort of. But ftd for you so effectively no.

Yeah if you disable half the shit and only play 2D games. Unless you've gotten yourself a recent processor good luck getting full frames.

>>6569092
Sorry, it's SCPH-77004.
And I'm not in Europe, I live in middle East so ordering a pre modded MC is not really possible.
And not to mention ordering a replacement optical drive.
I could look in flea/scrap market but I doubt I get a suitable one or just get busted/stolen PS2, and the seller would just raise the price if he sense you need it badly.
>>6569357
Anything from 2010 can ruin DS, do you mean 3DS?

>>6569403
if you're hellbent on making it work, you could try cleaning the lenses with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of non-abrasive cloth, or a cotton swab. that alone probably won't work but you should do it anyway.
next step would be disassembling it and tweaking the pots on the laser. you need to be very careful, look up tutorials online. realistically you'll only need to boot a disc once, so you mod your MC. from there on use a USB stick to boot files.
even so burning the lenses beyond repair is easy when tweaking the pots blindly. if you do manage to get it working, look into booting games from USB, lan, etc.

>>6569430
I tried cleaning it, didn't help much.
>pot tweak?
I feel as if the motor isn't spinning fast enough.
Or maybe the laser Burned off completely?
Can you use the MC worth free mcboot as regular MC to save games?

>>6569447
http://www.ps2parts.com/laser_adjustment.html
I couldn't find any particularly good videos but you can search "ps2 pot adjustment" on youtube to get an idea.
it's possible the motor is dead but the laser going blind is much more likely. alternatively, assuming the PS2 is chipped, a component on the motherboard (which controls the laser) might be dead.
you can use the modded MC to save games yes. but there isn't much space left after you install freeMC.

>>6569028
It's how Gramps do.

>>6569257
Don't get it

have you been around children? don't ask them to explain their jokes, there's no point

>>6557497
On one had I'm dissapointed because I was sitting on about 40 to 50 PS1 that I could mod chip my self with mod chips I could make and sell them as modded systems. On the other hand. I'm sitting on 40 to 50 systems that their value has just gone up and I don't have to do anything to them now.

>>6558059
>They really don't fail that often. Sounds like you were doing something wrong
hello, zoomer retard born yesterday. sony's original run of playstations had faulty laser assemblies that would wear out from sliding along its track. sony fixed this problem in much later revisions. shut the fuck up, you dumb moron. men are speaking.

>>6569730
Well I doubt he has a hundred of those. I have >50 PS1s and only about four or five of them are 1001's or what ever with the RCA A/V jacks in the back. I think one or two of those are actually working, but it's been years since they've been tested.

>>6557649

>>6571032
You're too retarded to set your stuff up properly then. Every single PS1 title runs at more than full speed with 2x resolution on a Pi 3B

>>6571053
not sure whats wrong. Spyro runs choppy and glitched audio when i turn high res mode on.

>>6571028
no you don't

>>6571032
original hardware can't either so I don't see your point
plus those 32x32 textures look awful on extremely sharp polygons

>>6571060
You aren't the only retarded child in the world, retarded child.

I've already got a pretty servicable way to play PS1 games but this is nice news. I hope other disc based systems get solutions soon.

>>6557497
Not to be controversial or anything but good luck finding a ps1 that doesn't have a modchip

>>6557497
YES!
I'm one of the few people in the world that has wanted that specific thing for a long time

>>6557497
>is going to make a PS1 solution that exploits the PS1's CD player
he doesnt say hes going to do it, he just says it would be a cool idea

>>6571252
i don't think it will be quite as easy
the CD-DA format is way simpler and more fixed-function, unlike DVD, where there's way more room for fuckups in the implementation
not to say it's impossible, but it probably won't be quite so free

>>6557497
I like having real physical copies of my stuff, with cases and the stuff they come with.

Hey it's my nostalgia, I'll waste my money how I want.
If I really only cared about being able to boot up games and nothing else I'd still be using free mcboot, or alternatively just emulating.

So this changes nothing for me really, I'm not going to suddenly throw my stuff up on ebay and switch to burned discs.

>>6571163
This is very true, I don't know anyone who had a ps1 back in the day that didn't have it modded.

>>6557649
>hey guys have you heard about this new thing called emulation

>>6569495
So I managed to get it working, the motor had issue, it was spinning slowly so I just have it a little push.
Now I managed to get fmcb on the memory card, but nothing seems to work, I tried launching ulancher, but I jut getting black screen.
I even formated the MC.
Any idea? I'm using scph-77004 with fmcb 1.966,

>>6568346
>"from which youtube channel did you get your opinion?"

Again, i'll consider this "PS1 version" of the exploit something that OP got out of his ass until there's concrete proof of it.

>>6571789
could be an incompatible USB stick. PS2 is picky about them. try an older USB 2.0 one, the oldest you can find.
77004 should be compatible with freeMC so that's not the problem.
the important part is that you got freeMC on your memory card. from here on is just throubleshooting.

Can i play burned PS1 games on my PS2slim?

This is indeed true. Every one I pick up in my country is already modchipped. It's actually rarer to find an un-chipped one.

>>6576841
this seems to be true for every 3rd world country. but even in the US chipped PS1s are common enough.
sometimes they're easy enough to uninstall, though. assuming there are no cut traces or video signal mods.
the real problem is that most people yank the shielding/heatsink off.

>>6573283
With free mcboot and popsloader yeah

Bootdiscs have been around forever, the reason theyre not more common they can cause hardware damage.

>mfw my silver PS2 just up & froze like a overheating error on a PC for the first time in 30 years

should I be worried that's never happened before,the entire screen just up & froze ;_;

maybe it was the disk itself

>>6577230
That's unusual. One of the best things you can do for PS2s is clean the lens and disc drive as they tend to accumulate a lot of dust. The whole thing is held together by philips screws so it's easy to get in, just be careful lifting the lid off.

This is unfair. She and Bezos started Amazon. I'm not a feminist but I know how to read. That said, Bezos did her dirty. It's not like SHE cheated, he decided to fuck some plastic hag.

I have a original Playstation and a PSone all unchiped.

>>6577313
Reading beyond a single sentence in an unsourced image on 4chan makes it harder to feel righteous anger at all times, though.

>>6577181
Im not interested in freemcboot

>>6578176
then chip it
faggot

>>6557497
How will this affect Monster Rancher's monster generation. Surely it'd make different monsters.

>>6557649
> Being so poorfag that you can't a PS1

You're living in a shithole, literally

>>6578176
Then have fun trying to swap a disc while it's upside down you stupid motherfucker. You deserve to suffer for your retardation. You absolute imbecile.

>>6557497
What? You could softmod a fucking PS2 for free literally a decade ago and play burned ps1 games. What is actually wrong with you people?

>>6557497
I'll keep an eye on this, thanks OP.
I got one of those action replay things but it doesn't work with multi disc games.

>>6580345
>>6580345
I cant afford freemcboot

>>6557608
PS1 only has PS1 mode on PS2 isn't accessible form PS2 mode

>>6580431
*as

>>6577183
for dreamcast yeah, for PSX it was a fake

>>6580345
The point is freemcboot requires someone with a modded PS2 to bootstrap you a memory card. Availability comes and goes depending on Sony's lawyers running a ban wave through the internet. This exploit means you can make your own freemcboot from any retail PS2.

>>6580456
I made my own Freemcboot with an action replay that has a media player capability (exploit via an usb drive IIRC), but yeah, this method is simpler because it doesn't require anything special apart from a blank CD-R and a burner

>>6580456
>The point is freemcboot requires someone with a modded PS2 to bootstrap you a memory card.

That's wrong. You can pick up Agent Under Fire for 2 dollars and exploit it that way, which I what I did literally eleven years ago.

>>6580626
I did mine with Xploder.

>>6557497
Big if true.

I have an unmodded Fat and I want to play some games on it.

>>6580362
it's like 5 bucks

>>6581556
I
CANT
DO
IT!!!

>>6581597
You live in communist China, anon?
I'm pretty sure even there you could source one.

>>6581602
Listen man i just cant. I dont even own a ps2

>>6580456
Uh no, the exploit in the OP allows you to boot free mcboot with nothing but a burned DVD. You fucking clueless moron. You didn't even read the OP of the thread you are in. You haven't the slightest fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about.

>>6580438
>what is PS-X-Change

>>6557497
Is it out yet?

>>6581642
i don't see any part of his post which is wrong

>>6580456
you could use the even older independence exploit to get the freemcboot installer going, that's what i did

>>6581886
>I've included uLaunchELF recompiled with DVD support as the default initial program. It presents a menu which allows you to select any of the homebrew programs you chose to include on the disc (and also allows booting from USB).
Hmmmm burning the iso you're given allows you to boot any elf you want from a USB drive. Surely that doesn't include the Free McBoot installer. Also what's that? You can add your own homebrew software to the iso if you don't want to launch it from a USB drive? I don't think we can install Free McBoot that way either because he didn't give us a memory card to do it with. False fucking advertising what a liar!

Also if you still don't get it I googled Free McBoot. The first result has a link that takes you to another link that takes you to this guide on how to use freedvdboot to install it. https://www.psx-place.com/threads/tutorial-fmcb-installation-with-free-dvd-boot.30211/ It's not like this info is hidden from you. I got here from literally the first result for fmcb on google.

>>6580345
You can't play burned PS1 games without disc swapping or a modchip.

>>6582062
he said "This exploit means you can make your own freemcboot from any retail PS2."
what exactly are you misunderstanding here?
