			<description><![CDATA[<p>So much effort has gone into great tools such as these.. It would be nice to have them all in a separate thread / Redump software repository because now they&#039;re scattered across many threads.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>update to v1.7.0:<br />- fixed sector buffer output<br />- rised parameter nr. to 6, for some obscure commands<br />- switched () and L1+R1 + () behavior, so now by default only set command will execute<br />- Start =&gt; CdFlush; L1+L2 + Start =&gt; CdInit<br />- set pregaps to different tone, so there would be audiable difference between gaps and tracks<br />added readme.txt with full description of keys<br />bundled with cdrX &amp; sbi2sub into one single archive<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut">http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut</a></p><br /><p>edit:<br />SCPH-5502 PAL<br />BIOS: 3.0 01/06/97 E =&gt; crc32 = d786f0b9<br />ID: SCEE<br />TEST 0x20: 97 01 10 C2<br />TEST 0x22: &#039;for Europe&#039;<br />TEST 0x23: CXD2545Q<br />TEST 0x24: CXD2545Q<br />TEST 0x25: CXD1815Q</p><p>SCPH-102 PAL<br />BIOS: 4.5 05/25/00 E =&gt; crc32 = 76b880e5<br />ID: SCEE<br />TEST 0x20: 99 02 01 C3<br />TEST 0x22: &#039;for Europe&#039;<br />TEST 0x23: CXD2940Q<br />TEST 0x24: CXD2940Q<br />TEST 0x25: CXD2940Q</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>new version<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut">http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut</a><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2930/psogl2001s.png" alt="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2930/psogl2001s.png" /></span></p><p>it adds CD unit control commands, since cdinfo.txt<br /><a href="http://psx.rules.org/psxrul2.shtml">http://psx.rules.org/psxrul2.shtml</a><br /><a href="http://hitmen.c02.at/html/psx_docs.html">http://hitmen.c02.at/html/psx_docs.html</a><br />and this document here<br /><a href="http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/DrHell/ps1/index.html">http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/DrHell/ps1/index.html</a><br />were so interesting</p><p>so one can now retrive CD unit&#039;s chipset information, SCEx code from CD/Modchip, <br />execute those undocumented test commands, etc.</p><p>input besides to what&#039;s given on screen:<br />L2 - flip lower section<br />R2 - flip output buffer pages<br />/\ - set max value ($ff)<br />&gt;&lt; - set min value ($00)<br />[]+DPad - do things faster<br />L1+R1+() - execute selected command only (otherwise it&#039;s always followed with $1a)<br />this is sometimes neccessary, eg. for PLAY Command to work properly<br />L1+R1 + rest buttons - operate with Commands instead of Parameters<br />(e.g. if you&#039;d want to swap CD you could use STOP command)<br />SELECT - change video mode <br />(i&#039;m not sure if it works since all TVs i could get to support both PAL &amp; NTSC but at least it will change resolution<br />basically video mode will be set on startup based on ROM detected so likely you won&#039;t need to use this at all<br />but you could try if you don&#039;t get an output for example)</p><p>chip IDs i get from my SCPH-5502 are:<br />CXD2545Q from sub-commands 23&amp;24. it&#039;s servo system + signal processor, <br />so likely 23 is for servo &amp; 24 for sp or vice-versa<br />CXD1815Q from 25. this is CD-ROM decoder<br />subcommand 22 return: &#039;for Europe&#039;<br />subcommand 20: 97 01 10 C2, which @DrHell&#039;s page given above is described as Year, Mon, Day, Ver and it does look so</p><p>sub-commands 60 &amp; 71..76 look interesting, could be they return unit&#039;s internal memory content</p><p>and please be careful with 00..1a - those control drive mechanics, like you can make it spin with tray open - don&#039;t do it<br />only interesting ones in this range appear to be 04 &amp; 05</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>i&#039;ve stumbled upon this thread<br /><a href="http://psxemulator.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chat&amp;action=display&amp;thread=2601">http://psxemulator.proboards.com/index. … hread=2601</a><br />it&#039;s quite interesting but unfortunately i didn&#039;t had hardware to actually transfer BIOS from console to PC</p><p>so instead i&#039;ve wrote program that calculates CRC directly on PSX<br />and compares this value against existing db: <a href="http://redump.org/datfile/psx-bios/">http://redump.org/datfile/psx-bios/</a></p><p>very easy - record CD, boot on PSX, and you&#039;ll get CRC + status: dumped or not yet<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut">http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmttnwi0ut</a></p><p>didn&#039;t want to revive that theread there<br />and my results from SCPH-5502 are as expected anyway:<br />System ROM Version 3.0 01/06/97 E<br />CRC32: d786f0b9<br />so nothing new but at least i&#039;m sure now this is a good ROM</p><p>maybe somebody else feels like checking out his system<br />if it turns out undumped, you could use Shendo&#039;s program then<br /><a href="http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-psx-discussion/93161-psx-bios-dumping-guide.html">http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-psx-discus … guide.html</a><br />or ask somebody with right equipment to do it for you</p>]]></description>
