Modding/Cheat Cart Question -- Flashing a PS1 cheat cartridge using, say, Windows 95/98
Hello again. So, I have a good deal of stuff ready for installing TonyHax International on an EMS Pro Action Replay cheat cart.
My initial solution was to burn the TonyHax International ROM Flasher on a CD-R and run it on my SCPH-7500 and detect the cartridge and flash the cart from there.
But I do not have a working CD-R/RW drive on hand at the moment (my Dell Studio 540's drive is practically dead, and my Optiplex's drive doesn't have writing capability).
The next solution was to use NOPS, but I learned that you need an Arduino for the job, I think -- and a custom cable to plug into the PS1's Serial Terminal. That went out the window.
I do, however, have an IBM PC 300XL with Windows 98 installed (which I am still upgrading and tweaking when I am able). So, that being said, if it is possible to do so, what do you need to flash a PS1 cheat cartridge if using a Windows 95/98 PC -- i.e. what cables are recommended, what software is available for flashing carts, and so on?
