@ITNonsupport @Johnneh_80 Namco didn't mod anything
Sony took the PS2 USA release motherboard model, stripped it from certain components and repurposed the DEV9 interface (where network adapter connects) into a generic interface for buyers to connect additional hardware.
English

@Johnneh_80 Namco modded the ps2 platform into an arcade board. They used it for Tekken, Soulcalibur, time Crisis, and the like
English

This is cool! Is that a PS2 arcade board?
Matías Israelson@El_Isra_a
Silly me didn't realize the answer was in front of my eyes all the time The FPGA Altera APEX EP20K100EQC208-2X has lines connecting it to the ACRAM and the IDE port So basically it's acting as ACRAM manager and ATA controller
English

@DCFUKSURMOM @Johnneh_80 It jumps to an error screen and doesn't go further bc Pcsx2 doesn't have MagicGate emulation
My fork will not require MagicGate bc the solution is very simple:
Instead of executing the encrypted MagicGate bootloader, just execute the elf file the bootloader is supposed to run
English

@Johnneh_80 I wonder if the bios from it will work in PCSX2, the dev kit bios and TV (Bravia KDL-22PX300) bios work in it
English

@Johnneh_80 Yes! Namco system246 Rack C
The first one of the system246 family to have a motherboard made fully by Namco to shrink it
Older models had a PlayStation 2 COH-H model made by Sony which was connected to an extra board holding all the extra components Namco wanted


English

The SRAM is wired to it too, yet I can dump it without uploading a bitstream to the FPGA
Basically, the ATA and ATAPI stuff I've been writing to #PCSX2x6 is the FPGA emulation lol
Fortunately, there seem to be only 4 versions of the bitstream, less variations to emulate
English

@Hera_Aoe Original is pure nostalgia
New one is kinda fun bc one of the characters there looks like terry crews LOL

@_987123879113 @lorizzuoso sorry for the necro, someone linked this tweet and wanted to give it a shot
I'm trying to make a PCSX2 fork for sys2x6
github.com/PS2Homebrew-ar…
English

@lorizzuoso I was never working on Sys 246/256 support. The PCSX2 fork was only ever meant to support Konami's Python 2 platform games. MagicGate support (taken from balika011's fork) was required for Python 2 to be able to run.

Non-paseli pfree is really cool (finally) and all but... DJ PUSSY? 🤔

@aldostools @tobi_esto A little detail: the PlayStation2 bios does not have the actual sound we hear, it has several sound samples that sound nothing like what we hear, it's the OSDSYS program that mixes and modifies it on the run. PS2 audio extractor tools can pull it off from SCPH-10000 bios image

@beeeemooooo The emotion engine is not that hard from what I gather, the hard part is the GS stuff and the VUs
English

@YahyaDanboos For some reason there are two versions of the bundle with different product codes and covers
Both carry the two games

English

@HuntShowdown When will you deal with the issues regarding CPU and GPU usage on the main menu?
My GPU usually sits at 60° while in a match
But gets to 100° in main menu lol (if I open a settings menu it falls back to 60° instantly)
English

Hunters,
The Live Servers will be taken offline tomorrow, March 23, at 09:00 CET, to deploy the 2.7.0.3 Hotfix. With this hotfix, we will temporarily remove the All Ears Trait as well as implement the fix for the issue where opposing players could spawn next to each other in Bounty Clash as well as make the game mode fully available again.
Est. Downtime ~3 hours
Full patch notes can be found here: steamcommunity.com/games/594650/a…
We will inform you when the servers are back up. Thanks for your patience.

@dtox3r @CiskoNokia Ya tuve una PSX y la vendí porque necesitaba la plata. Por el momento no estoy interesado en tener ni hacer nada por las PSX, estoy centrado en las PS2 arcade.
Además estoy en argentina y el solo envía por la UE

#PCSX2x6 is progressing slowly
I've got system246 SoulCalibur2 to the stage where it reads the first DVD sector
The idea is to do a brute implementation where SoulCalibur2 and at least another game that uses joystick works kinda well
& Release that as an Alfa to drag attention
