Densha de Go! Taito Pad Support

I picked up one of these a few weeks ago, hoping for some PlayStation 2 support.  I was not disappointed!


This is the Taito HPS-55 (made by Hori).  It's not in the greatest condition as you can see (scratches, classic piss yellow discoloration) but functionally works perfect.  As with any second hand controller I buy, it was torn down and fully cleaned.  Fresh silicon grease applied where needed.  Ok, on with the game list:


Title Console Supported
Densha de Go! PlayStation Unknown
Densha de Go! 2 Kōsoku-hen PlayStation Unknown
Kisha De Go! PlayStation Unknown
Densha de Go! Nagoya Tetsudō-hen PlayStation Unknown
Densha de Go! Professional Shiyō PlayStation Unknown
Densha de Go! 3 Tsūkin-hen PlayStation 2 Yes
Densha de Go! Shinkansen Sanyō Shinkansen-hen PlayStation 2 Yes
Densha de Go! Professional 2 PlayStation 2 No
Densha de Go! Ryojō-hen PlayStation 2 No
Train Simulator + Densha de Go! Tōkyō Kyūkō-hen PlayStation 2 No
Densha de Go! Final PlayStation 2 No

Will update the PS1 titles in the list when I have a proper SNAC adapter for MiSTer.

PSX + Free McBoot

I recently acquired a rare piece of gaming history:


Among the major design flaws, its well known that when the internal HDD goes, the console is essentially a paperweight...until recently.  A specific Free McBoot install for PSX is available - however you will need to manually direct the console to boot from the memory card.  The button you need to hold down on system startup is R1.

This will throw you into the file browser where you can then execute your .elf of choice (such as OPL).  I spent entirely too much time trying to find this info on the web - you're welcome.
