I have a similar related problem/question.

Does anyone know of any way to poll the serial port of the PSX for
input ?  I know that getchar() will read a character - but it blocks
and waits until a character arrives, I need something more like
PadRead() that is non-blocking. Is there any function similar
to kbhit() or kbinp() that might work ??

Alternatively, if I had the appropriate hardware addresses of the
serial port of the playstation I could write something myself...

Any tips ?
