Anyone modify a multitap for 256? I'd be nice to see the game ID and change games easier.
 
This is pre-built sd card structure for 1.0.0-RC1 for SD2PS/PSXMemcardGen2 and will display the dongle name and version on the screen for easy identification.


- Instructions
_______________________________________
1. Flash sd2psxtd-1.0.0-RC1.

2. Drag and drop [MemoryCards] folder from the drag and drop package to a MicroSD card.

3. Put MicroSD into a SD2PS/PSXMemcardGen2.

4. Deploy CIV in the menu under PS2.

5. Change the variant to arcade in the menu under PS2.

6. Use as you would like.

!!!! Remember to check the compatibility and I/O requirements of the game you are trying to boot. !!!!

!!!! All dongles are pre-signed/bound to SD2PSX / PSXMemcardGen2 !!!!

!!!! Remember SD2PSX is not a micro SD card reader for PC so when deploying the civ.bin do not drag and drop the civ.bin where you drag and drop the firmware!!!!


- How to use
_______________________________________
1 . Power externally
2. Turn autoboot off in the PS2 settings menu
3. select the dongle you want to boot
3. Remove external power
4. Put it in your namco and Boot it like a real dongle

This should be possible because of "https://www.arcade-projects.com/thr...th-arcade-magicgate-support.32371/post-451920"

!!! I have a report of this not working through a third party multitap hooked to 256, so this warning will stay here until someone who has a PSXMemcardGen2 that is sanded down and doesn't use a multi-tap on a 256 confirms it working or broken!!!

Hi! :) El_isra

I started renaming the file names as simply as possible.

But I also need to change the order of the files linked in the Card1.ini file for each card.

Isn't there a faster way to do this?

And can you add BMP icons for each game?

I would like to make a Card Fighting Game with all the fighting games combined, a Card Driving Game with all the Driving games, etc.

Is this possible ?

When my launcher is finished, you will just simply choose a game from a list and the card will automatically change to the VMC for that dongle then launch boot.bin
 
Eventually. We have to write replacements for ACDVD.IRX and ACATAD.IRX that allow for such thing. But it's technically possible
For this situation, it's easier to replace acata/acatahd.
 
Is the BR3 an original copy? Non of the images online seem to work...
Hi! :) Are you talking about the CD ?

Yes, it's an image found on the internet, but the .CUE file was missing, so it had to be recreated.:S

It's like the Smash Court Tennis Pro tournament file: it's not complete, it's not even 100 MB.

The guy who dumped it, I don't know what he did ? X/

Can anyone re-upload it in Raw or ISO format, not CHDMAN; that format is really a pain. X(

Thank :thumbup:

yes, I would love BR3 and one of the reasons I got the memory card for the dongle. If you could help get an image that works I would be most happy.

Many files in the Namco System 246/256 game web archives are incorrectly downloaded; they were dumped with their feet X/ X( :thumbdown:
Check this out.

I've never seen a PS2-based game zipped to 62 MB, even for a .gz iso file.

There's something missing from this Dumper game.

It's a CD-Rom image that is barely 100MB. I also have been seeing issues with the dumps from the web archives, I have been having more success with extracting from CHD files from mame romsets

Did not know about this, I only downloaded DBZ which had no issues. Will have to try extracting CHD that was mentioned
