Just thought that some day i should really start learning how things really work on the real thing so i acquired an Xplorer FX after reading this : http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?psx/tutorial/tuto.htm http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=722 https://github.com/simias/rustation/wiki/Xplorer-FX-setup
Maybe some nice plugin/player could be made to allow playback of seq/vab files on the real system.
So having your source code available somewhere could maybe be helpful.
Or perhaps this could inspire you another project. :)

Bumping this thread so you can read this: http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=451&p=8807#p8807
If that is something you may consider but you'd prefer to keep your source code private, i still could give you a Xplorer cartridge. ;)
Programming visuals/menu for the current PSF/sequence driver would be a breeze and likely a fun little project to work on.
A re-programmable Xplorer cartridge would be especially useful, for many different things...! I'm not sure that I have the proper ("old") hardware to properly utilize it, however.
EDIT: Also, I'm terribly sorry for the delayed response!
I wouldn't necessarily require a Xplorer cartridge because I can test with both PC emulators and actual hardware, though the latter requires a new disc for each test.
The cartridge would allow for much faster, hassle-free hardware tests and results (plus it would be cheaper).
My only problem is that I'm not sure that I have the proper PC hardware that can connect to and communicate with the Xplorer device.
What are the PC and OS requirements for the Xplorer?
