CD/DVD Emulator DTL-T14000 for PlayStation®2

Overview

CD/DVD Emulator DTL-T14000 uses a hard disk drive in the Sony Computer Entertainment PlayStation®2 Development Tool DTL-T10000 to create and test a PlayStation®2 CD or DVD image. You can duplicate the directory and file hierarchy that you want on your CD or DVD gold disc. The CD/DVD Emulator uses software which accesses standard CD/DVD libraries and accurately simulates the seek times and data access speeds of a CD/DVD mechanism, so you get an accurate picture of how your gold CD or DVD will behave when it is finally cut.

Includes

The hardware is factory-fitted in your PlayStation®2 Development Tool DTL-T10000 directly by Sony Computer Entertainment. Software to control the emulator and manage images is supplied in both Microsoft Windows and Linux formats.

Features and Benefits

Click on any of the features below to see the benefits it will provide:

• Dedicated CPU and HDD for emulation.
  

The CD/DVD Emulator DTL-T14000 consists of a factory-fitted emulation server running on the Linux PC within the PlayStation®2 Development Tool DTL-T10000. Using a large-capacity hard-drive within the unit you can create multiple images.

• Full CD/DVD format emulation support
  

The CD/DVD Emulator DTL-T14000 provides full support of the ISO9660 and UDF format. Create images of both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs, and now also the Dual-layer DVD format.

• Complete hardware timing emulation
  

All hardware timings are emulated, including emulation of CLV and CAV data transfer modes. The CD/DVD Emulator DTL-T14000 uses actual CD/DVD libraries, so you can reliably test whether critical data runs at the expected rate.

• Automatic image synchronization
  

The host software will monitor the files on the target and the host, and update the image whenever a component file has changed. See how a code change effects your game almost instantly.

• CD/DVD Explorer software
  

The Image Explorer software is provided for managing the creation of images. It allows you to view an image and modify its properties. You can also collect and order sets of files to make up one or more CD or DVD images.

• Export as .CCZ (CDVDGen) format
  

When you are happy with an image, you can save it in .CCZ format for burning with CDVDGen software, ready for QA and submission.

• Software for emulating the DVD drive mechanism itself
  

The emulator provides a transparent interface between your code and the CD/DVD hardware. When not in emulation mode, the real CD/DVD-ROM drive is fully accessible. Using the software you can quickly test whether the code interfaces correctly with the CD/DVD-ROM mechanism, and be certain that it will perform the exact same way on the retail units.

• Software selectable emulation mode from the host
  

Easily turn emulation on or off using the provided software. The software also provides real time feedback of emulation status.
