The restoration of jpcsp.org
[ Posted by AniLeo on 2022-01-01 23:59:00 ]

Hello JPCSP community,

As you might already have known, the jpcsp.org website had been abandoned for
many years, at least since 2013, with the original code having been written in
2008 and not very updated ever since. Due to that, and because the original
backend code was written in a very insecure way, the website has been hacked
several times throughout the years, leaving the website out of the air and/or
leaving malware on it. Most recently, the website had been hacked and several
resources had been deleted, leaving the website as a blank page with a bunch of
leftover links.

Seeing as the website had been abandoned for at least 8 years, I decided to
contact the current owner of the website and got permission and access to
restore it. The plan was to clean all the malware uploaded to the website,
update the website's backend to modern PHP, rewrite code to be secure and fix
original bugs that the website already had a decade ago, and whatever else I
felt needed to be fixed while going at it, all while maintaining the same
front-end, as that would require a lot of extra work, and my goal here was to
restore and preserve this important piece of history before it was lost for
good.

When I started, the website was in a worst shape than what I already imagined.
There were several malicious scripts that had been uploaded throughout the past
hacking attempts, missing/tampered database entries that were blasted with
SQLis, there was no download system backend left whatsoever, among other things.
Fast forward 3 days, the website was restored, up and running with actively
supported backend software, with a brand new automatic download system that
imports new builds from GitHub, and a new page with changelog and version
release date information.

Here's a list of the main changes made to the website:
- Clean malware, thoroughly going through every directory and file;
- Remove unused/unneeded files, there were example web server files from a web
server the website had been previously been hosted on, as well as a dependency
folder for a framework that the website never used, among other things;
- Re-arrange code styling, the files were a mix of spaces/tabs and with no
coherent code styling guidelines.
- Port website code from PHP 5.2 / 5.3 to active PHP 7.4 / 8.X, the website was
running on the latest PHP 5.6, granted, with errors, but the code was originally
written in the late 2000s and largely untouched.
- Restore lost resources and database entries, with the help of Web Archive.
Image backgrounds for header/body/footer were missing, as well as the oldest
news entry, and a few other news entries had been tampered with on the database.
A mistake circa February 2009 by the developers caused the oldest news post
dates to be overwritten, but I have restored them thanks to information from Web
Archive.
- Achieve HTML5 / CSS3 spec compliance, the website had some errors in regards
to those. Properties that were long gone from spec were being used, granted,
looking at the age of the website. Validation still fails due to the usage of
lightbox.js code from 2008, which I am yet to replace, as it currently works
fine despite the age.
- Enable and force HTTPS, website wasn't using HTTPS, now it is.
- Remove old integrations, really old version of analytics that wasn't even
working properly and Facebook Like Box, a true relic of the past.
- Update sidebar, link to the GitHub repository instead of Google Code page that
doesn't exist anymore, remove duplicated link to forums, open links in new tabs
by default, fix design in order for it to not overflow.
- Design fixes, padding/margin fixes here and there, replace usage of Windows
specific fonts Trebuchet MS and Verdana with Open Sans, to ensure font
compatibility with any device.
- HTML metadata and OpenGraph, added favicon and support for link previews.
- URL adjustements, always use lowercase on URLs, p=news instead of p=News and
so on, remove .php from links, remove func parameter from the news section by
rewriting the paging system, as it made no sense and just generated duplicated
URLs for the same content.
- Compatibility section adjustements, there's barely any data there, but I've
quickly made a few changes to it, now it displays every game by default and has
an all sorting flag, instead of having to click all 27 characters to figure out
what has entries on them or not. This will be left as is for now, further
functional changes to use newer data may be made in the future.
- SEO enhancements, JPCSP website is now back to being the first result on
Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and others, when searching for JPCSP.
- Rewrite downloads system, it now automatically imports data and builds from
JPCSP GitHub Actions, using the Workflow and Artifact GitHub APIs. The backend
data was also plugged on the existing frontend, and a few changes to the
frontend were made for builds to be more descriptive. The builds are separated
by 5 tables as that was how the frontend was originally made. More work can
still be done here in regards to frontend while keeping the same design style.
- Update the about page, add current active developers, rewrite the first
paragraph to fix grammar and consistency issues.
- Add changelogs page, with information from the JPCSP Readme as well as Web
Archive data. Lists all the release dates, obtained on Git History, Web Archive
from the older Google Code page, and other web sources.
- Add code quality continuous integration, PHP static analysis with PHPStan on
the maximum level, 9, has been added, and it runs every time a change is pushed
to the website.

That sums everything up pretty much. You can visit the JPCSP website at
https://jpcsp.org and enjoy a relic from 2008, now fully restored, and able to
serve you emulator builds as they release.

Thank you for keeping JPCSP alive with important research breakthroughs still
happening,
AniLeo

JPCSP2C
[ Posted by shadow on 2013-05-15 10:37:21 ]

Last year i was working on a project for converting JPCSP source to C language.

Although it was progressing well , i didn't work on in lately due to other
obligations with pcsp , pspe4all .

Today i decided to release it's source in case someone want to check it or maybe
help with it.

It is based on an old src (revision 950 if i remember ) and it's capable to run
a few framebuffer demos (minifire , threadstatus ,rtcdemo are a few that come to
my mind)

Source is located here : https://github.com/georgemoralis/jpcsp2c

Have fun

Hykem needs our help
[ Posted by shadow on 2013-02-24 18:41:58 ]

As you have noticed Hykem one of the main authors of jpcsp is not longer
available. I had a chat with him today and he said that his laptop has totally
destroyed and he can't afford to get a new one.
So i jumped and made a donate of 100$ for him . Of course he needs more than
that so if anyone is willing to help him pls donate using the paypal button at
the left of the site and i will make sure to forward these donations to him. :)

Jpcsp asks for your help once more :D

Greetings shadow
