Re: Tutorial & Lib for TIM Image/Sprite and BS Image

I forgot to update this thread with the solution to the issue (it was my fault). The objects must be compiled with the same flags as of the main executable, example: ccpsx -I%lib%\. %param% -O2 %lib%\System.c -c -o System.o ccpsx -I%lib%\. %param% -O2 %lib%\Sprite.c -c -o Sprite.o ccpsx -I%lib%\. %p...

Re: Tapper remake

PS1 supports 512x480 resolution, so you might go that way. You need to disable double buffering and turn on interlaced mode (on GPU level). Thanks Shendo. In the meanwhile I've discovered that GsSPRITE resampling works indeed very well. The problem was - guess what - in how the emulator renders the...

Re: Tapper remake

Currently ripping sprites off MAME and creating sprite sheets... so boring... Problem is that original sprites on arcade are sized for a 512x480 screen, while my clone currently is 320x240. I cannot resample sprites in GIMP nor at runtime (with GsSPRITE.scalex/scalex) because the result is awful. Sp...

Re: PSX serial

@Type79: Nice! You have quite a lot of PS link cable for experiments :-)

By the way, I hope the adapter I've bought will work with my current dev setup: XP virtualized in VirtualBox onto a hosting Ubuntu Linux distro. I must send the builds from the virtual machine to an external Playstation.

@AmiDog: interesting find. If I undertand correctly that cable replace the need to get also one of those boards mentioned before. Concerning the cabling, being that device an FTDI these instructions apply: http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=378&p=2712#p2712 If you know how to w...

Re: PSY-Q And net yaroze

Hi so is it possible to use psy-q? If you want to setup and use Psy-Q SDK have a look at this page: http://www.psxdev.net/help.html Keep in mind that you will end up using DOS command anyway (if you want you can script your compilation&deploy workflow). The Psy-Q SDK in the end is just a bunch ...

Re: PSX serial

But does the CH340 use 3.3v TTL or 5v TTL? Most people selling these devices doesn't specify it clearly, atleast not clearly enough for me to understand, which is one of the reason I'm still not entirely sure which device to get since it has to be a 3.3v TTL version... If you look at the eBay link ...

Re: Tapper remake

But, using PSXSERIAL you could "cheat". If you are programming and testing logic but you are always using same data from CD, you could burn a CD with required files for your game to load. Even if you need to update some graphics you will end up with far less disc then without PSXSERIAL. I...

Re: Tapper remake

Speaking of emulators reliability: does the embedded emulator on a PSP is better than those you can run on your PC? I see that POPstation (the tool to convert PSX ISO to PSP format) has a database of commercial games: is it possible to create a PSP executable with POPstation starting from your PSX h...

@Shendo: thank you very much for testing! But the game seems to be on godlike difficulty. Drunkards are moving too fast and when I serve them they only take a step back.

How to animate a sprite?

Hello, I would like to learn how to manage sprite movement more efficiently. There are a couple of things that I'm solving using a "brute force" approach and I wonder if there's a more "PSX-oriented" way of doing this. I'll try to keep it short :-) Basically what I would like to ...

Re: Amiga 500 internal keyboard to USB keyboard

I have got Amiga 500 which is PROBABLY broken [it's without hard disk, floppy and power source]. Well, that's pretty much MY definition of broken :-D Although keep in mind that hard disks were optional and expensive at the time, so you're basically missing the two latter items. I'm wondering, it is...
