Oh what an amazing feeling seeing one of my articles here. Let me share you a bit of history about this one:
- A year ago, an old version of this article got shared in hn (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22932134) and since then, google started positioning my site in their search results, and many forums started noticing the site. Yay!
- Fast forward, I graduated from uni, continued working on more articles in my free time, and with all the newly acquired knowledge, I decided to re-write the old PS1 article to make it much more informational and accurate - This is the one you are seeing right now.
- The rewrite wasn’t easy, though. Luckily, I found very kind and talented experts that lent me a hand, you can see them credited in the ‘Changelog’ at the end of the article. Curiously enough, we are still debating on Discord about some discrepancies regarding the main diagram shown in the article. LSI’s docs (the CPU manufacturer) and Sony’s docs contradict each other when they explain the layout of the CPU’s ‘main’ bus! But don’t worry about it, it doesn’t affect any statement in the article. It’s more of a need to have everything as accurate as possible.
Finally, I’m always open to comments, improvements, suggestions, anything really! I share the writings here (https://github.com/flipacholas/Architecture-of-consoles) to discuss improvements but you can also find my email in the site.
