# PS1_PowerReplay_RE
# PS1 Power Replay Datel clone - RE Notes
## Introduction
I found one of these cloned Datel cheat carts for PlayStation 1 in a box of junk at a flea market.
I decided to reverse engineer it just for fun, and maybe to build a better variant of it.

## Notes
The PCB was fully disassembled, scanned, and traced to reconstruct the schematic.
It's a simple dual-layer board containing a diode, a PLD, an EEPROM and a transceiver, plus a few passives.
### Power regulation
While the PCB has provisions to fit a 78L05 voltage regulator plus filter caps, the actual regulation on
this board was cheaply hacked together using a 5.1V Zener plus a 150 ohm resistor for current limiting.
### EEPROM size
The EEPROM used on this board is a PLCC AM29F010, 128KB. The Board is wired in a way that a 29F020 can be installed and the a second bank of 128KB used.
### PLD
A GAL16V8B provides signal decoding to enable the transceiver, EEPROM, read the state of the STROBE signal on the DSUB-25 connector and of the sliding switch.
This IC was protected on my board, so I proceeded with an analysis of the signals and their combinations.
The results can be seen in the `PLD` directory, and **have not been tested yet**. Interestingly, while connected, the A20 line seems to be ignored in all the calculations performed by this PLD.
