PS1 games

I just can't believe that this little thing isin't anywhere ?!

Yes, I figured that the 60 mb psx iso was quite.. useless.


I saw this topic on another forum, and they don't believe in a psx emulator but some kind of ''portage''.. like MTGS: 2 for the xbox..

Most PSBBNAV partitions are using ReiserFS (0x88) and there is one Linux swap partition (0x82).

Once having a RAW partition dump, ReiserFS file system can be mounted under Linux using the following:

# losetup -o 4194304 -f partition.img # file systems starts at offset 4MB
# mount -o ro -t reiserfs /dev/loop0 mount_point

PSBBNAV lists installed HD Loader games. The next logical step is to try to transfer BBNAV originally downloaded game to another HDD. RAW dump might just do this. If it is not enough, maybe a diff onto file systems would give some hints.

2 `ls -lR' lists are attached with the most-interestingly-looking file systems (user names are probably only half-right).

Found out where text resources are and that thing can be translated to english really easy... if you know japanese, that is ;-)
