PCM Hammer 98/99 Black Box Support

[antus]

A bit more work has been done on this and I am happy to call it a success. The loose ends are mostly tidied up and its working reliably on my hardware. Service Numbers 9366810 and 16263494 are in, and according to ebay advertisement interchange data I still have some to go, but thats just churning through known OSID lists to get them detected.

Thanks Solitaire for your bin posted here viewtopic.php?p=118986#p118986
I didn't have a lot of BlackBox files around and was able to use your image to test a flash that updates enough sectors that I could consider it a fair test of the flash kernel.

If anyone has a 4 connector black box on the bench and would like to help test this version, send me a PM.

Awesome work!!!!!

Thanks! Im actually ready to move P04_256k, P04, P08, E54, BlackBox in to develop with this merge request. If NSFW approves, he has a chance to put the hanging exception code in (or not - its a branch he has ready but not merged), then I think its time to build a release candidate and ask for some public testing, then get all this stuff out there! https://github.com/LegacyNsfw/PcmHacks/pull/346/files

I also have a P05b thats in this country, but not in my hands yet. I know thats dual protocol, I think it should not be too hard to get it implemented on the VPW side, so there is a chance that'll get in the next pcmhammer release depending on how things go.

Another forum member just asked me for pics of the 4 connector black box boards, so I'll also post here.

Those SMD components look hand placed. What an operation to assemble all the Black Box PCMS without robot positioning!

[dieknow]

I have a ffew spare 98 PCM''s that i can use to test this on the bench.

Thanks for that. I believe 4 connector Blackbox is 100% working for the moment, but I think we are close to the next pcmhammer release. I'll post a public beta in a new thread at some stage in the near future.
