  • SIO1 isn't properly emulated which stops beatmania IIDX 1st from booting (the DVD player error) and stops various Sys573 games from being playable: Martial Beat's I/O uses SIO1, Mambo a Go Go's rental system device uses SIO1, GFDM's card readers and multisession unit use SIO1. The system connection between beatmania IIDX and DDR also uses SIO1. In my branch I repurposed the i8251's code as a separate SIO1 device in my branch but in the process I think I broke P1's memory card when trying to use the branch as a PSX emulator directly. https://github.com/987123879113/mame/blob/bemani/src/devices/cpu/psx/sio.cpp

  • In the past I tried to convince smf to just push his WIP code to a branch somewhere and all I got was excuses as to why he can't so I kinda gave up and hacked it up in my branch so I could do the things I wanted. The only evidence I've seen that anything might actually exist is this revert PR from a few months ago: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/988a9b974a5f391009393ed2db18cf7585a5659b
