FreePSXBoot VS LibreQoS

No need to install a modchip, you can use freepsxboot: https://github.com/brad-lin/FreePSXBoot/

If you your PlayStation doesn't have a modchip you can also use the Memory Card manager in Unirom. Just get the FreePSXBoot version into a different memory card, boot to Unirom and the manager will show all saves, even the deleted ones, if they are still on the card. Then you can put the cursor over them and choose "undelete".

you could use FreePSXBoot to softmod it, here’s the github.

If you don't want to chip your console just get a Memory Card exploit like Unirom+FreePSXBoot or TonyHax+FreePSXBoot, it's basically the modern day replacement for the swap trick. Easier, more reliable and removes some other types of piracy protection from various games.

Most of the SDK has been tested and confirmed to be fully functional on real hardware, but there is some copy protection you will have to get around in order to run arbitrary software on a PS1. The traditional solution is to perform disc swapping or install a modchip, but nowadays we also have softmods [1] that make the process as easy as inserting a specially formatted memory card (which can be prepared using a PS2, or even a PS1 by swapping discs).

You are not required to use CDs either. With the help of some code and linker script magic, you can build an image that can be booted directly from a cheat cartridge (or simply a parallel EEPROM) connected to the console's expansion bus, bypassing the copy protection checks entirely. There are also debugging tools that, once loaded, let you download an executable into RAM for quick testing and manage memory cards using a modified serial cable [2].

The easiest way is freepsxboot. Amazing thing. https://github.com/brad-lin/FreePSXBoot

Sorry, I think you are thinking of something else. Maybe a railroad crossing (:-))

Joking aside, the https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat test looks to see if the networking software is working correctly by putting a large load on the network, and then seeing if other streams are affectec by the overload.

The example on the https://libreqos.io/ home page is of

fq_codel was successfully offloaded in a few products, however, no offload here, just a xeon with a ton of cores and a big L3. On the libreqos case we leveraged some ebpf to do packet steering in what we call the heimdal bridge, and also kathie nichol´s wonderful passive ping concept: https://github.com/thebracket/cpumap-pping

You can get a transparent high speed bridge with shaping capability up pretty rapidly with supported hardware.

I still long for an ethernet card that can do a trie lookup natively! The flamegraphs are mostly getting the right packet to the right cpu, still.

That's doable. The HOA doesn't sell internet. Just pays for a Wi-Fi network that happens to reach you.

I'd advice two high performance dishes (dishes are known to fail and support is an issue so one on standby while waiting) and a business connection. You'll need a third party router with fair queuing, protocol and service speed shaping etc etc. I'm sure both openwrt and opnsense will do. But check this out https://libreqos.io/

Still, ya know, a modernized kernel on the devices is a start, better wifi, also, and if they do get arround to adding at the very least driver support for the linux BQL or AQL subsystems, and apply fq_codel, or cake, they could certainly manage the uplink better. At the higher rates supplied by the link, the wifi becomes the bottleneck for which solutions appeared in the Linux kernel in 2016. There has been some good research on actively managing the link via the sqm-autorate project, and multiple middleboxes such as those from preseem (fq_codel), and my own libreqos.io (cake) , might be able to manage the downlink better with the addition of link level stats, at very minimal CAPEX per subscriber.

Also, people would notice starlink going to hell less often if starlink would just deploy libreqos.io.

With dual 2.5 Gb/s and Alder Lake single-thread perf, I was thinking high-end latency-optimized QoS/Firewall for gigabit internet. CAKE and LibreQoS would love this thing.

It is so wonderful to see so many happy SQM users all over the world. That said, do you think NBN might consider installing libreqos.io to benefit all their other users one day?

I am curious as to the availability and functionality these days of the fq_codel option on the eero 6 and eero 6 business? When I last paid attention about a year ago ( https://www.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/u7xm83/gen_2_sqm_vs_gen_3_sqm_stick_with_gen_2_if_you/ ) only the gen2 had cake, and a lot of folk struggled with correct behaviors at +500Mbit with the 6's implementation of fq_codel. (The +500Mbit problems kind of indirectly spawned the libreqos.io project, which pushes the inbound shaping to a middlebox at the ISP) Anyway, did it get better? Does RFC3168 style ecn work on the wifi?

You probably already know this, but the team behind Cake SQM are pushing to get ISPs to implement the free LibreQoS on their side, so that many more users could benefit from SQM: https://libreqos.io/
