new update to the DONGLEBINDER ELF (Yes, I know that program is shit, a more flexible alternative, preferrably lua scripted, should be made, but i'm kinda busy and tired. Just in case someone with the skill wants to play around, source code lives here...

The blue screen will naturally have no video if the game did not boot properly Why? Because the Namco board VGA display is controlled by JVS, and the binary blob (firmware let's say) is provided by the game, it's inside the dongle. If the game did not boot and it jumps to the blue screen...

Keys are not a problem I can dump the memory card through a session authenticated with any of the 4 Magicgate keys supported by the official memory cards (developer1, retail1, arcade1 or the unknown key) and the dump will always be the same, because we're just dumping the encrypted data The...

SD2PSX now supports the arcade keys used by retail memory cards SCPH-10020 I haven't started analyzing the conquest card yet (still waiting for the goddamned USB to JVS board), but this change will be necessary for emulating the conquest card...

Not sure what you mean there. Change the ODE mounted image from MMCE device? Or change mounted dongle on MMCE device From the ODE? Dongle change will be done with the gameID feature as soon as it's finished Things have gotten a little complicated time-wise for me. Haven't got around finishing...

For the system 256, those who don't care of the display or the buttons, may buy PSxMemCard gen1 It's cheaper and fits on the 256 effortlessly

If you have a retail PS2 at hand. You may also dump with memory card annihilator program

For now, not much. But I've made a modified SC2 dongle that will monitor all the commands sent to the conquest card and log them into the arcade UART. when I finally get the game running, I can start investigating even further

I'm currently in the process of reverse engineering it. Untill I get the JVS to USB to finalyl run the game, I'm coping with labeling the DONGLEMAN driver on ghidra. I even made a thread here asking for dumps with the ps3 adapter (if u have one)

When my launcher is finished, you will just simply choose a game from a list and the card will automatically change to the VMC for that dongle then launch boot.bin

Eventually. We have to write replacements for ACDVD.IRX and ACATAD.IRX that allow for such thing. But it's technically possible

SD2PSXTD already supports Arcade gameID. I just need to finish the launcher

did you set teh card on arcade mode?

Card Monitoring driver ready. Now I need to get the game running and modify the dongle to use ACUART for logging the data to my PC

Hello everyone. as some of you may know. I've began analyzing the SoulCalibur 2 conquest cards with the intention of replicating them as well as fixing damaged ones (and maybe other things in the future) For investigation purposes. I need as much dumps as possible. so if you own both a conquest...
