Q: Why can't I put real PSX cds into my XBox DVDROM drive and have PCSXBox run them? I can do the same kind of thing with HUGO and NeoGenesis, so why not PCSXBox?
Can you make a tool that will rip my PSX cds onto my XBox?
A: PSX cds are completely different beasts than PCE CDs and SegaCDs. PSX cds are written with Mode2 XA sectors whereas the others are not. I have tried many different ways to read Mode2 XA sectors and the closest I got was getting the XBox to actually read the sectors, but at only 2.5KB per second. Considering that this is about 50x slower than a 1x CDROM drive, I think it's pretty obvious that gaming performance would be extremely poor. Please note that Mode2 XA is different than Mode2 Yellowbook (which is what VCDs are written with) - so XBMP's code is not a solution.
I'm aware that if you install linux on your XBox and then run a linux version of a PSX emulator that it can read PSX cds. I believe the problem lies somewhere in the XDK. Obviously there is a solution to the problem, but the specifics are elusive. I cannot answer "when" it will be solved because if I had enough information to tell you "when", then it would be finished by now already.
Furthermore, if I could write a tool that reads PSX cds and dump them to the HD, I would be able to make PCSXBox read PSX cds. If you want to wait 75 hours (650MB at 2.5KB/sec) for the XBox to rip/write your CD onto the HD, then I've got just what you need. I think it would be faster to rip it on your PC and then upload it to your XBox, though..... |
its not hard to rip it on your computer, just use the guide that diontae18 left
