Is there any way possible to dump the contents of the PS2's ram into a .bin file? I have the serial cable installed if i could do it that way... Please Help. Thanks

It is certainly possible, but wouldn't be very fast... sending 32MB of data over serial would take a bit of time.

As for how, you'd have to write a program to do it. There's some documentation on the serial port in ps2sdk, specifically in sio.h. Here's the important functions:

Code: Select all

void sio_init(u32 baudrate, u8 lcr_ueps, u8 lcr_upen, u8 lcr_usbl, u8 lcr_umode);
size_t sio_write(void *buf, size_t size);
size_t sio_read(void *buf, size_t size);
BTW, you probably can't really do this while a game is running, if that was your plan...
