Thanks for the motivation...The reason why I'm pessimistic and doubtful about this project is because most Game Dev forums I've seen in the past despise anything BASIC related. There's a topic somewhere here that despises PSX BASIC which I bet is weaker than LameBASIC theoretically but it shows tha...

EDIT: This planned project is now canned to the trash bin...Cuz' nobody freakin' cares! The attitude you should have is: "Developing this will further my understanding, I will opensource this software so people can learn how it works, and if someone uses the final product, that's cool too"...

I'm stuck again

All I want to do is draw with double buffering:

setRGB0(&(player.tile), 0, 0, 0);

AddPrim(1, &(player.tile));

where player is TILE_1

Thanks for the example, sadly I'm using an emulator so I can't run it.

Why is using a TIM better than the method in ot_example.zip? Only the added things like rotation and shading? If I wanted to make a game that only had a 320x256 grid of pixels, would the ot_example.zip way of drawing be okay?

Just make a 1x1 pixel as a TIM, and use code to stretch it and position it on the screen where you wish. It will also allow you to also use more features, such as rotation and colour shading. I know that may sound simple to you, but I (just starting out in ps1 dev) barely know what a TIM is, let al...

I'm slowly understanding how to code for the ps1, mostly by looking at other peoples' source code. I'm yet to find out how to draw a simple 2d rectangle, something like this:

fillRect(Xposition, Yposition, length, width);

Anyone have some simple code that will achieve this?


Thanks

What about svn, a git server or even github?

I've had a read about how to get the software side of it up and running, but I'm still not 100% sure on how to get the playstation connected to my pc. Apparently I'm waiting for the PSX blaster...

I'm a (mostly) C# programmer, and I want to get into PSX and pocketstation development.

I also have good knowledge in Atmel micros and Arduinos - there may be some hardware hacking down the line!


Now all I need is to find me a good PSX to get my development environment up and running.
