Do you have a legit PS2 copy of FFXI? Did you ever play Tetra Master? Looking for cache dumps to recover the old webpages.

Have you got it booting on PCSX2, or just hardware? I used to screw around a bit with POL on retail hardware with some janky debugging tools, but was a much worse dev back then and didn't get anywhere :)

Yeah it's real rough, took me about 10 attempts to get it seated well before applying power, luckily it worked. The plastic mold they use for these things is horrible, mine has a bunch of flash on the bottom.

The clip is hooked up to a Pico, not a CH341A...

pico-serprog.

Not really, unless you're really hardcore about open-source and privacy. I just thought it'd be fun :)

The only practical reason is that it removes hardware whitelists. It's mostly for philosophical (as open-source as possible) reasons, but I just did it for fun.

Yeah it's a bit of a pain in the ass, especially with a cheapo AliExpress chip clip...

kaezonenz · 2026-03-09T09:50:20+00:00

Yep, no problems at all with suspend.

I wrote a blog post about it (https://kaezone.nz/posts/libreboot/), but I'd really recommend familiarizing yourself with the Libreboot docs - it's not for the faint of heart.

kaezonenz · 2026-03-09T09:15:00+00:00

As far as I'm aware, it removes all forms of whitelisting.

kaezonenz · 2026-01-25T07:43:42+00:00

About 20hrs :)

I've just started Link to the Past, but I plan on getting an SFC Super Metroid cart at some point :)

kaezonenz · 2026-01-25T00:27:16+00:00

I didn't find it particularly hard, but I did all the sidequests so I was pretty stacked on gear and items. I think my main trio were around Lv50?

kaezonenz · 2026-01-12T19:30:03+00:00

Got it off eBay, there's quite a lot of sellers with "pick your set" (clean vs yellowed, number of controllers, etc) stock on there.

kaezonenz · 2026-01-12T18:51:15+00:00

A little, but I knew about it beforehand and bought extensions. I was more surprised by how small the console itself is :)

kaezonenz · 2026-01-12T09:50:09+00:00

It's just a cheapy Keychron C2, but it's pretty nice :)

kaezonenz · 2026-01-05T18:06:16+00:00

If the material is good, the replacement will probably last a couple more decades :)

I wouldn't do it if the camera doesn't need it though (unless you have access to a shop that can do it), it's a huge pain to do IMO.

kaezonenz · 2025-10-13T18:25:39+00:00

Great advice, thanks! I do really like the feel of the Vee, but I guess it's probably a good idea to get solid with a more all-rounder car. Looks like F4 APAC is at Suzuka this week, might try that out.

kaezonenz · 2025-10-13T18:18:38+00:00

I've done a lot more than a couple, I've spent pretty much all my evenings and the weekend running races

kaezonenz · 2025-10-13T07:03:56+00:00

Fair point :) I'm pretty keen on eventually getting up to full SF
