Re: n00bDEMO - Demo made using my own SDK

This is an absolutely impressive work you made here, and I am expecting to see how far you can bring it. I really want this project to grow and become the new standard for PSX programming, so we all finally have a robust open-source SDK built by enthusiasts to enthusiasts and forget about closed-sou...

Re: [TUTORIAL] Setting up the PSXSDK under Windows and Linux

My repo is based on 20150729 but includes some experimental features here and there. However, there are some really interesting features I had missed from 20180115, so I might merge them into my repo so it is up to date while keeping those experimental features.

Re: MinGW32 compiled GCC 7.2.0 Toolchain (mipsel-unknown-elf)

In fact, many variables in stock PSXSDK 0.5.99 missed the "volatile" qualifier and because of this reason it would not work with compiler optimizations. That's one of the first changes that I made on my own fork of PSXSDK: https://github.com/XaviDCR92/psxsdk-20150729 As a rule of thumb, al...

Re: MinGW32 compiled GCC 7.2.0 Toolchain (mipsel-unknown-elf)

After ~7 years of using different versions of mipsel-unknown-elf (initially GCC 4, now 8.2.0), I have never found any compiler bugs. What assembly does GCC generate if you declare ival as volatile? It could be related to that.

Re: LITELOAD - Yet another PS1 serial loader

The mcomms+PsNoob+LITELOAD combo looks fantastic. Great job! I haven't investigated further, but as you have already being discussing, binary data (e.g.: TIM, VAG, TMD files) must either be hardcoded into the PS-EXE or manually uploaded via a batch script. Why not use a simple bidirectional communic...

Re: Quadrilateral Conundrum

Don't get me wrong - I don't think you are a bad programmer at all. In fact, I liked the const-correctness of your code. That's definitely not something common to see. :)

Re: Quadrilateral Conundrum

Looks really promising! :) However, why did you implement some function on a header file (DRW.H)? That could cause you big problems if including such file more than once.

Re: Blade Libs + MIPSGCC + Jum SDK

Actually, thanks to Kannagi's LMP3D , PSXSDK has some preliminary 3D support. I encourage you to check it out before discarding it. Also, Blade libs are old, unmantained and broken. Even if not under heavily active development, nextvolume releases some updates for PSXSDK from time to time. I even cr...

Re: SERIOUS TOPIC : What about a full tutorial ?

I know this is a common catchphrase, but please start small; you will get overwhelmed otherwise. When I started back in 2011, I barely knew about C, but I surely knew I had to start with small projects. Even if they might appear uninteresting at first, everything you will learn from it will be extre...

Re: hoping to start psxdev as a hobby

Why don't you try PSXSDK? It supports most modern platforms (Windows 7/8/10 via Cywgin, Linux, BSD...) and is an open-spurce project.

Re: hoping to start psxdev as a hobby

I started out with PSX development with barely no knowledge about C programming and, after many years, coding for the PSX allowed me to get a job on the embedded SW development area. You shouldn't feel discouraged for what people might tell you if you dream about coding for the PSX.

Source code is always updated into Github as soon as I make significant progress, so you can already check it out and learn as much as possible from it.

Re: Airport - WIP

It could be due to several reasons (incompatible compile-time flags, file not found, etc.). It is difficult to guess without debug output.
If you need a ready-to-burn CD-ROM image, please let me know and I will provide you one.

Re: Escape from the North

Looks very good! It reminds me a lot to Orion's "Yopaz Ice Star". BTW, how did you get that star effect at the beginning? At least on PSXSDK, IIRC scaling is limited to multiples of 2 (x4, x8, x0.5...).
