PS2 UART Communication: Sending Data When Running a Game? #1301

Describe the issue

Is it possible to send information to the UART port of the Emotion Engine when selecting or running a game, so I can read it? I have successfully implemented a similar modification on the Xbox 360, and I wonder if this could also be done on the PS2.

@technopal it should work out of the box. Neutrino also has this function implemented. Some sort of hello message when game is starting is implemented. Just compile with command make eesio_debug (or grab from artifacts section from actions DEBUG builds)
