I had missed this contribution until now, and it looks great! Looks very impressive for someone who considers himself/herself a "novice developer". I mostly agree with the feedback from nocash:

The up=up/down=down controls are confusing for airplanes (think of how real-life airplanes are ...

Welcome, Cyndanera! Your engine sounds interesting, is it free and open source software, so others can learn from it?

Welcome, DarkTaker1990! Aside from older Windows versions, I recommend you to use a modern, POSIX operating system such as GNU/Linux or FreeBSD and modern SDKs such as PSn00bSDK or PSXSDK, so you can make use of modern tools with better diagnostics and optimization.

Looking forward to your game idea!

Not sure if this helps, but isn't it possible to dump the BIN/CUE contents into a directory, insert the new files and create the BIN/CUE image pair again, possibly using PSn00bSDK's tools?

I am quite sure most (if not all) PS1 3D video games used the GTE for vector-based calculations, as it was explicitly designed for such purpose.

Some months ago, I started writing a free (GPLv3-or-later-licensed) real-time strategy video game that currently works on the PlayStation 1, Unix-like operating systems and Microsoft Windows (Win9x included):

It is largely unfinished, but maybe it makes more sense to ...

I haven't installed anything, I just use the web client, it runs fine...
A web browser still downloads and runs non-free JavaScript on the machine, which is still often undesirable for users in FOSS and hacker communities.

I think discord is one of the better "social" platforms.

Great work, Shendo. I have been long missing mouse support for PSXSDK, and I would like to merge it into my fork. Is there source code available under a free software license?

Awesome job, socram! There is definitely some interesting, unexploited potential to the controller ports.

I don't see why you would want to use IRC in 2022.
IRC is still popular in free software and hacking communities. Popular free software projects such as Linux, ffmpeg or git are hosted on Libera Chat, which is an IRC network that was created on 2021.

Nowadays we have Discord which is a modern ...

I'd recommend using some malloc routines when using the CD so you can load data into the heap, use it as needed and then free that heap space for other stuff later.
If using fread(3) to read CD-ROM data, a more space-efficient (although possibly a bit slower) alternative is buffered I/O. This ...

I would like to add some technical insights, in the context of PS1 development:

Choice of programming languages

- The original PlayStation CPU is based on MIPS I, so a compatible toolchain is required. gcc supports it with the `mipsel-unknown-elf` target. There are some instructions on how to ...

I feel it is kind of subjective. While it is true hand-written MIPS assembly might lead to more optimized code (size and/or memory-wise) compared to a C compiler in specific situations, IMHO usually it is not worth the extra effort nowadays, or at least for application-level code. Modern optimizing ...

It looks amazing! I agree with Shadow's suggestions: just make it run faster and smoother and the game is good to go.

Very nice for a first effort! Possibly a few monochrome rectangles (instead of variable-sized, texture-blending sprites) could had already done the job given the simplicity of this project, but it's definitely a good start.

Eagerly waiting to see new projects from you!

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Lately, I have done some improvements and bugfixes on this game e.g.: CMake support for easier building, fixed some bugs on PSXSDK and a couple of game bugs:

IMHO it depends entirely on how complex the physics are and a lot of other factors e.g.: game logic, code optimization, GPU performance, etc. When we wrote Deathball , we implemented circle-to-circle collision, circle-to-polygon collision, gravity and bouncing using fixed-point arithmetic and the ...

First, the gdbstub revision pinned for the submodule no longer exists--it looks like it was removed with a force push or something. I updated it to the latest `master` and now the project checks out and builds OK.
More like I forgot to push the commits stored in my computer. :lol: I have just ...
