i know that this question may sound unrelated to this forum's section but..
is there a way to write/extract the 8Kb header (FAT) of a ps1 memory card using..err..ULaunchELF?
that wasn't a feature's request, it would really be a scarcely used feature anyway :D
ah..forgot to congratulate you about your great work :)
It's not entirely offtopic, since it concerns the copying of PS2 media content, which is always relevant to uLaunchELF. But I'm not sure how this could be done. Obviously there must be some ways of reading the entire card, but whether any such way is available to us is less clear...Quote:

Maybe so, but one I'd appreciate myself. If we had this capability we could even make a full PS1 memcard dump, to a file format directly usable by emulators such as ePSXe. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. :(Quote:

Thanks, we're glad you like it.Quote:

yes thanx for the fast response, i asked about that because i was just warned about a bug in PSXRC relevant "i think" to mutliple file saves (like normal+replay's or normal+combat saves) infos stored in that header.
since you say that it's not possible with ULaunchELF i will see what i can do :S , i don't really see for the moment :D
edit:
the bug was a human mistake, sorry
Hi!
To do that you could use this little software I developed:
http://www.brunofreitas.com/portal/files/MCMania12.exe
It reads entire ps1 Memory Card contents to the PC through LPT port (cable building manual included).
The program and manual are in Brazilian Portuguese language. Take a look and tell me if you have any problems about understanding it.
Once the MC data file is on your PC, you could use any Hex Editor to get off the header.
Hope that helps

i already own a ps1 fat sample, i was hoping for a simple and effortless way to do it for lazy video game's players, but thanks anyway bootsector.
