# PS1 BIOS dumper:

![biosdumper](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8411572/25516011/38a83c36-2be8-11e7-9a16-1026c00cd5e7.png)

About:
 PS1 BIOS dumper is a software for the PlayStation 1/PSone which
 enables you to dowload BIOS image from your console to your PC.

There are two methods available:
 1. Using Memory Cards, and
 2. Using serial cable.

Each method is fairly similar but has different hardware and software requirements.

This BIOS dumper is written using open source Tails92's PSX libraries and as such is perfectly legal
 to distribute since it doesn't use any part of the code from the Sony's original SDK.

Compiling:
 Version 0.1 of PSXSDK is only guaranteed to work. Newer SDKs ditched BIOS routines
 and this dumper relies heavily on that code for gamepad and memory card handling.

Run "make" for the exe and "make image" for the iso.
