== Memory Card ==
==Misc==


The Playstation Memory Cards have an interface similar to the Controller Port, which is similar to SPI. They normally have 1 Mb or 128 Kilobyte of EEprom memory. Serial data transfer is LSB-First format. Some bigger non-Sony Cards use internal bankswitching (Multiple virtual Cards with a button switching to the next bank each press / alternatively some do not have a button but rely on buttoncombos with the Dualshock controller). Other bigger non-Sony Cards (e.g. Datel MAX 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB) address it as a single card (and thus can be very slow).
This simple mod (adding Led) also works with PS1 Memory Card plugged into the Memory Card Adaptor or the Memory Card Adaptor itself:


=== Sony Playstation Memory Card (SCPH-1020) ===
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be5rSKFuxJY  //video should be removed because it s a mess, but before need more infos/photos/wiki format


Aside from the Sanyo LC86F8604A chip, the board additionally contains some resistors, capacitors, z-diodes (for protection against too high voltages), a 6MHz oscillator (for the CPU), and a 5pin reset generator (on the cart edge connector, the supply pins are slightly longer than the data signal pins, so when inserting the cartridge, power/reset gets triggered first; the 7.5V supply pin is left unconnected, only 3.5V are used).
Video s comment:
you need 32 guage insulated wire and 3mm LED (does not matter what color...) and you drill the hole
(without the chip inside to avoid damage) 2 - 3mm  from the left side on the outward edge.


==== SONY CXD8732AQ ====
Official PS2 Memory Card pins are numbered (8: negative & 5: positive), official PS1 Memory Card hole for the led can be more centered.

</gallery>


The "SONY CXD8732AQ" chip is installed on memory cards with "SPC02K1020B" boards, however, the text layer on the board says that it's an "LC86F8604A" chip. So, the CXD8732AQ is most probably a standard LC86F8604A chip with a Sony Memory Card BIOS ROM on it.
== Memory Card ==
The "SONY CXD8732AQ" comes in a huge 64 QFP pin package, but it connects only to:
  5 = /IRQ7  (via 22 ohm)        2 = /RESET (from U2)
  6 = JOYCLK  (via 220 ohm)        30,31 = CF1,CF2 (12 clock pulses per 2us)
  7 = /JOYn  (via 220 ohm)        14,16,25,32,38,39,61 = 3.5V (via 3.3 ohm)
  12 = JOYCMD (via 220 ohm)        8,15,28,29 = GND
  13 = JOYDAT (via 22 ohm)        All other pins = Not connected


The Playstation Memory Cards have an interface similar to the Controller Port, which is aswell similar to SPI. They normally have 1 Mb or 128 Kilobyte of EEprom memory. Bigger Non-Sony Cards use internal bankswitching (Multiple virtual Cards in one). Serial data transfer is LSB-First format.


=== Pinout ===
The controller port is exactly the same electricly as the memory card port.


Caution: The "diagonal edge" at the upper-left of the CXD8732AQ chip is Pin 49 (not pin 1), following the pin numbers on the board (and the Sanyo datasheet pinouts), pin 1 is at the lower-left (near the dot mark) and follow a counterclockwise move notation.

==== DATA ====
==== DATA ====
Signal from Card to PS1/PSone. This signal is an 8 bit serial transmission synchronous to the falling edge of clock (Both the incoming and outgoing signals change on a high to low transition of clock. All the reading of signals is done on the leading edge to allow settling time).
Signal from Card to PSX. This signal is an 8 bit serial transmission synchronous to the falling edge of clock (That is both the incoming and outgoing signals change on a high to low transition of clock. All the reading of signals is done on the leading edge to allow settling time.)
==== COMMAND ====
==== COMMAND ====
Signal from PS1/PSone to Card. This signal is the counter part of DATA. It is again an 8 bit serial transmission on the falling edge of clock.

==== VCC ====
==== VCC ====
VCC 3.6VDC. The main board in the PS1/PSone has 2 surface mount 750mA fuses, one for each port
VCC (heared to be) 3.6V. The main board in the PSX also has a surface mount 750mA fuse that will blow if you try to draw to much current through the plug (750mA is for both left, right and memory cards).
==== ATT ====
==== ATT ====
ATT is used to get the attention of the card. This signal will go low for the duration of a transmission. Time is 16msec between SEL from previous SEL.

==== CLOCK ====
==== CLOCK ====
Signal (high) from PS1/PSone to card. Used to keep units in sync. 250kHz clock for PlayStation.
Signal from PSX to card. Used to keep units in sync. 250KHz clock for PlayStation
 
==== ACK ====
==== ACK ====
Acknowledge signal from Card to PS1/PSone. This signal should go low for at least one clock period after each 8 bits are sent and ATT is still held low. If the ACK signal does not go low within about 60{{micro}}sec the PS1/PSone will then start interrogating other devices.

=== Dumping ===
Similar to SPI protocol.
 
*You don t really need to solder wires but instead use generic jumper wires attached to each other with some rubber (they should fit the spacing of the memory card pins, 1" / 2.54mm) as the insulated terminals/insulated solid tips are also 1" thick.
 
==== Arduino ====
Any Arduino/compatible board.
