Multiman v02.07.07 : Support des backups CD PS1 sans dongle

deank has added a way to launch PS1 games into his emulated XMB.
Most games run (a few sound and graphics bugs may appear).

Install the base version v02.07.05, then update over the network to v02.07.07.
The next time you launch the homebrew, insert a CD-R then go to Game - Playstation Disk.
The game will then launch.

thanks for the news, however it doesn't work, neither with ps1 backups nor ps2 ones, and yet I have a backward-compatible fat ps3, launch = black screen!!!

edit:

correction, it works with some backups only!!

Excellent backup loader, since its release, its creator hasn't stopped amazing us with his many projects.

For now I'm at 2 out of 4, 2 failed attempts (=2 burned cds for nothing) and 2 successful.

Maybe we could offer a list of working backups, to spare people from wasting cds for nothing, no?

Obviously the question is aimed directly at Tgames

That's today's controversy (demonhades), a ps3 is capable of reading cds, so...

Then this controversy won't last because after that will come launching from the hdd...

+1

I would even say there will certainly be bug fixes for backups currently unsupported!!!

...to be continued then
DemonHades has just published a rather interesting article where he lists the various points that aren't respected when reading burned PS1 games with multiMAN, and their consequences.

Reading process:

1. Interpretation of the Media Type

This step is designed solely to read dev_bdvd using interpretation mechanisms, by validating a format it is mounted in a unit with the PS1 Media Type.

2. Mechanisms adapted to interpreting the PS1 Media Type

This mechanism carries out the mounting of all the links tied to such processes, between which a communication occurs to achieve a precise calibration of the lens in order to reduce the risk of damaging it, except when using the memory card system.

3. Resource optimization and classification

The emulator must be native and launched from the XMB, not from a manager as is currently the case. During step 2 of the adopted mechanisms, the necessary memory is reserved and unnecessary tasks are killed.

The final result:

To sum up, the method used doesn't go through with any of these steps, it doesn't calibrate the lens and passes control to a PS2 emulator that contains the PS1 interpreter (with CD drivers dating from 1990).

The main consequence of this is the premature death of the lens, due to poor laser calibration for the type of CDs used.
and Deank's answer:
Very funny indeed. I wonder how the BD drive works when you insert an original psx (CD) disc?

I don't blame him for commenting on Multiman's features all day, since he's been ready with his JFW, and I don't see what else he could do.

Multiman passes all the parameters required by the emulator, and the emulator doesn't access the disc directly. It uses the system's functions, the same functions that the whole ps3 uses when it accesses an optical disc. I hope he'll inform himself a bit more, before posting things that embarrass him.

hi, like all consoles, obviously the lenses don't like backups too much, however I've never had a lens problem with my psOne back in the day.

I think you shouldn't overdo it and especially avoid cd/dvd-rw which wear out any lens no matter what!!!
