A new update for Tonyhax International, Tonyhax’s forkTonyhax, and backup charger takes advantage of an exploit in the game saves of Pro Skater 2 and Pro Skater 3 by Tony Hawk.
In this version, Eisei Meijin’s Game ID (Japan) (Rev 1) was fixed thanks to a bug report.
In addition, support for new titles has been added PSX.EXEand updated the library documentation. Game ID identification now happens faster than previous versions.
Features compared to the original version of TonyHAX
- It supports all PS1 consoles (Japanese, American, European, SCPH-1000-SCPH-102) and the first PS2 consoles (Japanese, American, European, SCPH-10000-SCPH-39004).
- Other rescue exploits are available.
- You can flash the Tonyhax International backup/import charger on a GameShark/Action Reply/cheat cartridge. Each time the flash cartridge is connected to the back of a SCPH-1000-SCPH-7502 PS1
- consolewhen you turn it on, Tonyhax International starts instead of the shell/BIOS program (Sony/CD player/memory card manager).
- It uses the latest FreePSXBoot exploit/patch methods to disable FreePSXBoot memory cards that launch Tonyhax International after the FreePSXBoot exploit has started the charger from the memory card on all BIOS versions.
- Fully automated test/creatting/development script suite in the source that supports the creation of Tonyhax International on virtually any *nix operating system.
Tonyhax International also includes a completely new system to bypass additional anti-piracy copy protection routines that are found in some subsequent PSX games and that work on all consoles, including Japanese ones.
This build replaced the old BIOS patch developed by Socram8888. This improves Tonyhax International by giving him the chance to play many more games than in the past and makes support just as good on Japanese consoles.
There is also a new method that allows you to implement gameshark codes in Tonyhax International, while the loader has obtained optimizations in size and speed.
Use
Tonyhax International loader is the program that is exuded on any PS1 console or on an earlier PS2 that allows the use of backup CD-Rs or the import of PS1 discs.
The loader can run on the PS1 with a GameShark/cheat cartridge, flash memory card, save exploit, or CD-R.
It offers the ability to properly play backup and import discs on all PS1 consoles and the first PS2 consoles (Japanese, U.S. and PAL SCPH-10000-SC-39004).
If you are using a Japanese console, at least one real NTSC-J PS1 game disc is required (any official licensed Japanese PS1 disc is fine).
If you are using a Japanese PS2 console (SCPH-10000-SCPH-3900) a Swap Magic tool is also required. None of these is required if you use an American or European PS1/PS2 console.
