English & German users: if you’re having trouble accessing the new Konami Channel, it’s because the URL changed. Just update your PSBBN software and it should be fixed.

Does anyone have a PSX DESR with a dead HDD and want to try installing the PSBBN Definitive Patch? In theory it should work if you boot the console from a memory card with FreeMCBoot or PS2BBL and launch __system/p2lboot/osdboot.elf from there #ps2 #psx github.com/CosmicScale/...

Just a heads up, the RePS2 is now also available for the PSX DESR. I've ordered one. Waiting for it to arrive before I plug it in. Didn't want to use an inefficient step-down transformer and it's always a good idea to replace those ageing power supplies. rexusnexus.com/product/reps...
