| Dumping the PSX Bios | Previous Top Next |
When you own a real playstation, there's also the possibility of dumping your own PSX BIOS instead of getting it from the internet. Below is a short description, which should give you an idea of how dumping it works. If you're familiar with the utilities being used there, you are already able to dump it. If not, searching the net is again a good idea here !
To dump a PlayStation BIOS, you need a GameShark or Action replay and a PC comms link. To start, you need either a real Caetla module or go to Google (http://www.google.com ) and search for "Caetla" (it's a BIOS replacement for your module, so properly read the included documentation before installing it!!).
Now upload "Caetla", and use use the caetla commands for downloading a binary memory image from the region 0x0bfc00000 - 0x0bfc7ffff! Now save the image as SCPHxxxx.bin, where xxxx is your PSX's model number, and ePSXe will recognise it and use it from now on.
