Here's something interesting: the SHA1hash may be the same, but I can't get scph5002.bin to work for any of my PAL games. The only real use of a semi-dead open source emulator is the incorporation into Mednafen code IMO, if someone can't write an emulator from scratch, he won't be able to SIGNIFICANTLY improve an abandoned emulator I wonder when someone will pick up Yabause Indeed, it is very unfortunate that all the work done in pSX has been essentially lost. If it's open source someone else usually picks it up. People always lose interest and stop development for years at a time, sometimes forever. You'll notice the only ones still alive are open source. This happens to every closed source emulator. PSX was promising, but unfortunately the author was too stuck up to ever release the source, which means that it's a waste that it's no longer being developed. I see a good future for this emulation core. pSX was promising, but unfortunately the author was too stuck up to ever release the source, which means that it's a waste that it's no longer being developed. I seemed to be missing scph5501.bin so it's good to know they're probably identical.Īnd not actually related to the topic at hand, but I'll have to +1 on the effort of getting a plugin-less Playstation emulator. And even in its alpha state, it's still quite competent for playing actual games.

The fact that Mednafen is, AFAIK, the only no-plugin PSX emulator with native 64-bit support, and being open source as well, tops it all off. I've never liked all the plugin nonsense with the alternatives. It might make sense to add it as a JP BIOS ROM option, as that's its usage in the SCPH-7003.Īs an aside, I'd like to commend you on your efforts to create a more accurate PSX emulator, much like the seemingly dead pSX.

For now, it's very simple to rename the SCPH-7003 ROM to scph5501.bin maybe you could make a note to do this in the documentation, if having multiple ROMs available for each regional system proves to be a difficult implementation problem. So, if possible, adding that as a file name option (scph7003.bin) might help usability a bit.

I think the NA BIOS ROM for SCPH-7003 is exactly the same as SCPH-5501's (check the BIOS version of the two models, they match), as the dump I have has the same SHA1 hash as that of SCPH-5501.
