That's a really good idea Shendo. You should never give up that easily Orion_.
As Shendo said, send some copies to popular YouTube gamers such as lukemorse1.

Title screen looks good.
I also have a PS1 mouse (SCPH-1090) so I would be happy to test it for you.

Nice find! Didn't think developers would hide their source on a commercial game.
Just downloaded and uploaded it: http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=470

Thanks for the suggestions! Currently I am having trouble with the 'freezing' of the game sprites. What I mean by that is, when I remove the controller from port 1, the game should freeze. No sprites should move whilst a message is displayed telling the user to re-connect the controller. How to free...

I was using the rotation feature in R1 (see the first YouTube video). I didn't like how it drew the ship.
Besides, I need hard sprites because how else will I animate the ship exploding
For now I have lots of free VRAM (let's hope I didn't type so soon, lol).

Here is the test sprite sheet. 256x256 image with 36 frames in a 30x30 grid array.
The left over room can be used for explosion animations, bullets, weapons, etc.
I have plenty of room in the framebuffer for more textures as I plan to make this game full out AWESOME

Very nice. Clean graphics and smooth game play. Now it just needs audio. VB/VH would be good for the effects, where XA can be used as the background music.

Hopefully this helps some people in getting to know how the PSX memory works.
Let me know if there are any mistakes, but I have confirmed with PSXDEV members on IRC that this is correct.

I didn't find anything for CAETLA. The closest thing I found was that you can download the RAM. The only way to debug at the moment is with SN Systems DBUGPSX.EXE on official development hardware. I'm sure the program could be cracked to work with CAETLA though by someone, but it would be difficult....

I'm just having trouble at the moment with the sprite sheet u and v coordinates. GsSPRITE in LIBGS.H is part of a defined structure that contains u_char u, v. It is assigned to an unsigned char (u_char). A signed char gives me the -128 to 127 value, and unsigned 0 to 255, so I can't use an image gre...

It's looking pretty good so far

I too was looking at DBUGPSX last night actually
It's in the Psy-Q BIN folder and is part of the environment variables, so it can be called from anywhere, but we can't use it. I'm sure there is probably a way to debug with CAETLA. I will look into it.

I've actually thought about this, and I noticed that the PC compiles on itself and runs on itself, whereas the PlayStation compiles on the PC and runs on itself, so live debugging isn't possible without some sort of 'step by step' I/O check procedure. I just use the printf() function where and when ...

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you create ^_^

[center]Nebula X - Worklog[/center] Hi. I thought I would start a worklog on my game that I'm working on and the problems I encounter. My previous topic can be seen here: http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=308 hr Do not bother trying to play the releases after R1 in an emulator. T...

What about Pushy on the Yaroze? That is pretty much a Sokoban game

If I remember correctly, the alpha channel in PNG images once imported get's converted to RGB 0, 0, 0 automatically, thus making it transparent. You can see I'm using a PNG. JPEG's also work well in some situations, but I prefer BMP over PNG for TIMTOOL. http://www.psxdev.net/forum/download/file.php...

This. Is. AWESOME. Did you make the disc artwork using a CD-ROM printer?
