Initially only V2 compatible, but now we have first V3 dump!! Still harsh on hardware, so careful dumping continues. Progress so far going well! Will share full write-up on how we got here soon!

It's been a long process of decapping, optical dumping, and now at last a software solution. Thank you @libby.bsky.social for finding the exploit from our dirty optical dumps!13 Sep 2026 13:39 +0000at://did:plc:dcxpvht45oegycaqdy7cprum/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvfptwaq322nhttps://bsky.app/profile/disco.camp/post/3mv62df4ku22dStart your morning off right by witnessing some V.Smile homebrew running off a DiscoCart Nice work, I know audio has been a big hurdle to figure out!

PCSX2-Reliquary's upcoming cue file support means a new music player is on the scene! You just need your music ripped as a .cue/.bin and to dump your ps2 bios, but then you'll be able to play your sweet sweet tunes.

And every time, the way you attach the back panel will change.

Being able to fast forward the loading screens at 8x speed certainly makes this a lot more fun!

Here’s a cheap way to recover your hardware if your hdd is dead! Usually these SD adapters have spotty performance and I haven’t tested it myself, dubbing video may raise issues But there is no reason why this kind of solution wouldn’t work so I’m sure it’s the real deal! https://github.com/DanielFergisz/FC1307A-PSX-DVR28 Jul 2026 23:11 +0000at://did:plc:dcxpvht45oegycaqdy7cprum/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrqjuhbhpk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/disco.camp/post/3mqvushrh6c2uI didn’t know you could recycle those18 Jul 2026 08:45 +0000at://did:plc:dcxpvht45oegycaqdy7cprum/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqvushrh6c2u
