DVRP (short for Digital Video Recording Processor / DVR Processor) is a co-processor found in [[PSX]]-consoles. It is not used in any other PS2 consoles. | DVRP (short for Digital Video Recording Processor / DVR Processor) is a co-processor found in [[PSX]]-consoles.

The chip is a Fujitsu MB91302A of the Fujitsu FR60 family of microcontrollers. It is a 32 bit microprocessor running at up to 68 MHz. It has an interal Mask-ROM, likely as a bootstrap, but most of its firmware is located on an external NOR-flash (Fujitsu MB85432BF). The firmware on the external flash is updatable. These updates are automatically performed during normal PSX firmware updates. | The chip is a Fujitsu MB91302A of the Fujitsu FR60 family of microcontrollers.

In the PSX, it handles HDD access and DRM/security functions. Little is known about it at the time, and it could be a target for efforts to make generic hard drives work in the PSX. | In the PSX, it handles HDD access and DRM/security functions.

The MB91302A could optionally be ordered with 4 KB custom built-in Mask-ROM content, which is what Sony did for the PSX (Chip identifier is MB91302A-103; -001 would be without ROM, -010 would be with a Fujitsu real time OS (SOFTUNE REALOS/FR) in ROM, -020 would be with a Fujitsu IPL in ROM) | The MB91302A could optionally be ordered with 4 KB custom built-in Mask-ROM content, which is what Sony likely did for the PSX.
