Editing PS1 Emulation

== Description ==
Note: there are no PS1 emulators available in early Tool/DECR and Debug/DEX firmwares (does not have dev_flash/ps1emu or ps2emu folder. dev_flash/vsh/etc/version.txt & index.dat say: ¨ps1emu:NA@NA: ps2emu:NA@NA: ps2gxemu:NA@NA: emerald:NA@NA: bdp:NA@NA:¨).

{{Boxframe1|content='''Firmware changes related with PS1 emulation'''
*Firmware [[1.02_CEX|1.02]]:
**Added '''ps1_emu.self'''

*Firmware [[1.70_CEX|1.70]]:
**Added '''ps1_netemu.self'''
**Added the ability to play original PlayStation format games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
**Added rumble functionality for USB accessories which support it when playing PS2 games.
**Saved data from PlayStation format software now usable on both PSP and PS3 systems.
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved.

*Firmware [[1.80_CEX|1.80]]:
**Ability to upscale PS1 and PS2 games
**Ability to copy PS1/PS2 game saves from PS3 to Memory Cards using a Memory Card adapter.
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved.

*Firmware [[2.10_CEX|2.10]]:
**Added '''ps1_newemu.self''' and '''ps1_rom.bin'''
**Users can now play PS1 game discs on a PSP with remote play, PSP firmware version 3.50 or newer is required. (this feature was not announced).
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved (Update was also unannounced but evident in Sony's backwards compatibility search site).
**Note: since 2.10++ all PS1 emulators, ps1_emu.self, ps1_netemu.self, ps1_newemu.self uses the since then added ps1_rom.bin bios file. In earlier firmwares file was embed into every emulator self file. File '''ps1_rom.bin''' is exactly the same file that was previously embed in all PS1 emulators.

*Firmware [[4.00_CEX|4.00]]
**Updated '''ps1_rom.bin'''. The new rom is stripped from PS2 related functions. As a result is 3565296 bytes smaller than previous version.

== Files ==

=== Emulator versions ===
There is no accurate info in wiki about the different PS1 emulator .self revisions, if you want to collaborate documenting this info see the experimental table on {{talk}} page

=== Game formats ===
See: [[PSISOIMG0000]] and [[Iso.bin.edat]]

=== Savegames ===
*Location: /dev_hdd0/savedata/vmc
Note: capitalisation of filename is important: name it xxx.VM1 instead of xxxx.vm1 (e.g. Internal Memory Card.VM1 for PSX/PSone, Internal Memory Card.VM2 for PS2/PStwo)

The .VMx files appear to be raw memory card data:
* [[PS1_Savedata#Virtual_Memory_Card_PS1_.28.VM1.29 | .VM1 Playstation 1 Memory cards]] can be edited with [[PS1_Savedata#Memory_Card_Tools_PS1 | MemcardRex]]
* [[PS2_Savedata#Virtual_Memory_Card_PS2_.28.VM2.29 | .VM2 Playstation 2 Memory cards]] can be edited with [http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/mymc/ mymc]

==Game settings==

===Game settings hardcoded in PS1 emulators===
*Notes
**The value named "flags" is composed by 2 values unk1[4], unk2[4], located at a second deepth level of  hierarchy structure. unk1[4] '''varies''' in between different ps1 emu versions (this variation indicates that <abbr title="but mostly a counter that could indicate a command ID indirectly from the "slot number" of another table>'''is not a command ID'''</abbr>), and unk2[4] have different purposes, sometimes contains a final value (so it represents the ending of a fork of the hierarchy) or an offset (to move one level deeper in the hierarchy), if the value is an offset also '''varies''' in between different ps1 emu versions

==PS1 games management in multiman==
=== Manual starting SELF method ===
#Insert PSX/PSone disc (region/pressed doesn't matter)
#Start MultiMAN (e.g. 2.07.01++)
::*Since 02.07.05 the PSX and PS2 discs are properly detected. PSX discs will show in XMB Game Column and you can launch the PS1 game from there. It uses ps1_emu.self default (you can choose Load or Load (Net), latter uses ps1_netemu).
#Switch to filemanager mode
#Browse to /dev_flash/ps1emu
#Select either one of the ps1 emulation SELF files

Note: Some games run better with ps1_emu.self (e.g. Mortal Kombat) while others run better with ps1_netemu.self (e.g. Resident Evil 3). If it doesn't work, try another ps1 emulation SELF file.

Downside: memory card options are unavailable unless you created a Virtual Memorycard ''before'' starting MultiMAN (XMB::Category Game:: Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2) > Create a PS1 memory card. Set it to Slot 1 (Press Triangle while selecting the Memory Card, then Assign it). Note: naming it "Internal Memory Card" sometimes works better than other names. MultiMAN 02.07.07 seems to solve the savegame issues.

=== Changes in MultiMAN 2.07.00/01 for ps1_emu handling ===
These options where needed to make above work:
* Added: LV2 access rights to use LV1 Storage Manager (syscall 864)
* Added: LV1 patch for user access to sys_storage functions (syscalls 600 to 623)
