NXFlash CD For Install Or Open Source Installer CD?

https://github.com/danhans42/nxflash provides a way to create a CD with a .ROM file that it will flash to a cheat cart. I was wondering if it would be possible to start releasing such a CD to make installation easier for the end user while we wait for your open source alternative?

SCPH-1000/SCPH-3000 Require SetSession Workaround

Me and another developer MottZilla have discovered that on VC0 and VC1(a) consoles SetSession is bugged. Martin Korth (of no cash PSX fame) has confirmed this to us over email.

Sending SetSession once is not enough. The CDROM BIOS Firmware does not clear the current TOC and update it completely unless you send it enough times. Me and another developer MottZilla have come up with a solution that while timely, actually works and enables these consoles to play CD audio in backup CD-Rs correctly for the first time ever.

Our sources are at https://github.com/alex-free/tonyhax (specifically relevant is https://github.com/alex-free/tonyhax/blob/master/loader/secondary.c)

Our implementation is at https://alex-free.github.io/ps1demoswap

I have a SCPH-1000 rev a and SCPH-1001 rev a which both have a bugged SetSession command, so I can do some testing for you as long as n00bROM can go onto a GameShark.

If you have any questions, please ask! I figured I would drop this info here for you to decide what to do with it.

Cannot change or save settings on SST 28SF040

I can flash n00brom and it boots, but I cannot save settings. They don't stay...
