PS1 DemoSwap Patcher : Play Backup CD-Rs With Correct CD Audio On All Unmodified Consoles + Japanese Softmod

Me and MottZilla have been working on this update for a few months.

This tool offers 2 different patches that can be applied to a rip of a PSX game to make it first boot a special Tonyhax loader. With this special Tonyhax you get working CD audio and correct TOC data on all consoles, even Japanese ones. This means PS1 DemoSwap Patcher provides the first methods ever enabling all stock unmodified SCPH-1000 and SCPH-3000 consoles to play backups with correct CD audio. On USA/PAL consoles you even gain the ability to swap to the next (burned backup) disc in games that span multiple discs without having to do another swap trick for games like Parasite Eve.

If you do not want to patch a game with the special Tonyhax but still want all the abilities it provides, you can use one of the FreePSXBoot memory card files available for all BIOS versions included in every PS1 DemoSwap Patcher release since version 1.0.2. Find out more in the FreePSXBoot Memory Card Images section.

The only other tool that previously had any level of support for playing backup CD-Rs with working audio on unmodifed Japanese consoles is PSN00bROM. However due to a bug in the SetSession command on the VC0/VC1(a) console revisions, the SCPH-1000 and SCPH-3000 never actually gained working CD audio playback in backups booted by PSN00bROM. Me and MottZilla have found a work around to the bug in the SetSession command on VC0/VC1(a) console revisions, which after months of work is now available to the public for the first time.

Our loader sources are available at https://github.com/alex-free/tonyhax
PS1 DemoSwap Patcher sources are not yet ready for release, but binary downloads for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux are already available.

This project would not be possible without the work of many others, please see the credits section on the webpage: https://alex-free.github.io/ps1demoswap/#credits
The scene will never die!
