Re: 3D FPS Example
That looks cool! Like I said, TMD is ok if used in few draw calls, but it's not really good for fast/action games, IMO anyway. I don't know much about PSY-Q but I think there's a primitive library? ie it doesn't start with GS. Ie: addPrim mentioned in above ZIP file Which looks like it uses the TMD'...

Re: SERIOUS TOPIC : What about a full tutorial ?
+1 Lamb_of_senpai comments. PSX isn't the easiest thing to learn, Net Yaroze subset, is a lot easier, but it's still pretty low level stuff (RAM access etc.). You're not just learning C and really old and useless libraries :lol: , but also a toolchain! Starting with 2D SDL is good advice, I'd add do...

Re: 3D FPS Example
So, i think a TMD format is perfect for basic 3D objects (characters, decorations, etc), but not for level geometry, right? TMD is a dirty word around here :lol: It's not really perfect for anything apart from a menu or non playable screens, it's way to big of a format! But if you like using it, th...

Re: How to make a menu
-c on gcc (unix/linux/etc compiler) give you not an exacutable but a binary 'object' windows uses .obj instead of .o (unix/linux). Look at makefiles, you'll see -c producing .o (.obj) files then the last command links main, libraries and the obj's to create a executable. You should read up on the to...

Re: How to make a menu
Looks good, simple yet functional. I would look at moving the functions from the headers though, maybe into a constants.c (building it with -c, getting the .o (or .obj), then linking it to the exe), leaving the declaration prototypes. or keep it as is and define them as inline? ie: https://stackover...

Re: How to make a menu
no problem, there's easier ways to do a menu actually. Just generate the list in an image and displaying it would be easier then using a font (but font's are need in games! :) ) Then just move something (another image or a coloured RECT etc) on screen. But the basics are rendering and moving somethi...

Re: How to make a menu
Yup ! I need some help ! I need to know how to make a menu. Something basic, with a choice (like 1 player/2player), but I don't know how to make a cursor for highlighting the choice. Can someone help me out ? :) Sounds easy to do, a good exercise for a beginner. Get text rendering on screen first, ...

Re: SIOCONS compatible USB Cable
That will do the job perfectly :-). It has all the pins needed broken out and more, and seems very cheap too. Also, it mentions the eeprom which is the bit the fakes don't copy.. which we need for the above. I"m still looking for my cable and don't have the SparkFun FTDI board yet. But just th...

Re: How to call another application
Might help if you post code, but I would look at what the exe needs in RAM and where and obliviously where you're loading the exe.

Re: SIOCONS compatible USB Cable
Adafruit should be genuine, but that is missing DTR/DSR signals broken out to pins so wouldnt work - unless you dont mind soldering directly to the pins on the IC itself which I wouldn't recommend. With that pin layout they are mainly designed for programming Arduino Pro Micro and that kind of thin...

Basically, avoid eBay and anything that is cheap. Amazon have a few - see attached picture (depends on your location, not sure about Australia) - this model says that it is genuine.

Re: Hi folks!
Honestly, I'm trying to learn much more about programming. I have a very basic grip of C at the moment and I'm trying to learn more, so I wanted to take a shot at PSX homebrew, specifically demos; I like new challenges and I love working with older platforms :) Cool, there's a big learning curve, a...
