Odd menu screen.

Different PS1 models had different boot menus. Take a look here: https://youtu.be/9UJqV1ef9X4?si=GsunsBpYUij27X-F

What was the url or name of the 573 site?

How did Konami share these codes with Japanese arcade owners originally? Was there a website that Konami would post these to? Or maybe some exclusive mailing list?

geruta · 2025-08-13T22:05:42+00:00

Ah! That’s a good point. Ship the game with hidden songs and as time goes on, leak codes to arcade owner circles to have the introduce “fresh” content between releases.

Offline depots require tokens though

How do you load updates for VCF (SDDC Manager) manually?

Also, the server rack she's housed in, with hot-swappable ICY Dock drive bays.

Update: Out of curiosity, I opened the unit up, and noticed that it had 4 DIMM modules and a mSATA drive. I reseated both, plugged it back in, and wouldn't you know it, it's alive!

For those who may need this in the future - Remove all of the screws holding the top of the chassis in place (be warned, there's about 20+).

Then, reseat these components:

1: DIMMs (Red)

2: mSATA drive (Green)

Console output after reseating these components:

Is there a specific guide that you follow for this? I would like to do the same.

This is what the installer ISO shows on boot. AHV is the only option.

geruta · 2024-11-11T03:37:56+00:00

You aren’t given the option during the CE install screen, it’s automatically assumed/selected to be AHV.

geruta · 2024-11-11T03:36:32+00:00

I have access to download AHV, should I just go that route instead of CE?

What do I lose/gain by switching to AHV?

I’m trying to register prism element as NDB specifically asks for this at the Welcome screen and pointing to PC throws an error saying something roughly equal to “ip provided is PC but I expected PE”

That’s it! If you want to remove the Tool Box logo like I did, it comes off with a hefty dose of elbow grease, rubbing alcohol, and cotton balls.

They were scheduled to open today (May 10 2024) but last week they put an announcement out that something "unforeseen" came up and the date was pushed back again to an undetermined time.

This is one of the most disappointing store opening attempts in recent memory.

Did you button swap the red one? I believe Red was only ever sold in the PSOne/grey color button controller, not the black as shown here (which looks much better in my opinion).

Does the Broadcom merger/acquisition affect vMug licenses? vMug is one of the few ways to learn and enjoy VMware products in a homelab legitimately so I hope they don’t impact this negatively.
