New Homebrew Mod Dev Thread

[KaiphaN]

Now that Guichi has closed the magic2 thread i think its time we begin to look into the codes posted above and as SniperKilla said, we should begin to discover our own things and possibly find a way to make a homebrew magic2 mod.

is it possible to burn a no swap modchip hex on a eprom?
hmmm if this is possible where to get the diagramm?

[necrolop]

Sweet, and where do we buy the components? And I cant fidn a price there. Can it be done to program actels aswell?

[necrolop]

Sorry if those are stupid questions but I mean I see no "Buy" button on that site.

The xilinx part could much likely be replaced with a eprom or flash of correct size, but it would make it a 40-50 wire install.

One thing that I think is possible is to solder a flash to the underside of the motherboard. At least on V5 ps2 there is space for a 44-pin flash, the by pulling CE high on original flash we might be on our way. That would make a very clean install.

Then to make it work as no-swap you could connect the scenix or an origa/nova.

This is just a theory of mine, but it should work. I don't have the money, time or equipment to try this

Programmer for the xilinx can be built easily, check http://warmcat.com/milksop/

I don't know about the scenix but maybe an old 16c84 programmer will do?

Seems like a quite comprehensive SX programmer.
