Re: Playstation 1 Memory Card Manager using the official Playstation 3 Memory Card USB Adaptor

The driver for the "ps3mca-ps1mc" used an old version of libusb's driver that wasn't compatible with 64bits (due to driver signature needed) Now I use the new version of libusbK's driver, which have a signature and works with all version of windows :) I know lots of people complained about...

The function GsSwapDispBuff swap between these 2 buffers. Now, a...

Re: n00bDEMO - Demo made using my own SDK

I had a project to code my own sdk for my favorite console, but when I see all the work you have done on this SDK, I simply can't believe I would have succeeded in doing the same thing myself. This is an awesome achievement you made there, optimized in assembly, with a capable 3D engine, I hope you ...

Re: How Do You Make Animated TIM Sprites?

it's up to you, you have to code your own animation engine.
the simplest is frame by frame, either one frame per TIM, or with a spritesheet of multiple sprite per TIM image.
or sprite composed of multiples mini sprite like Rayman, you have the freedom to do whatever you want.

Re: Optimization question floating point

sqrt is slow too, since you only use it for a comparison, you can omit the squareroot by squaring knockback.range if ((tmpYSub * tmpYSub + tmpXSub * tmpXSub) < (knockback.range * knockback.range)) I searched for fixed point atan2 on my harddrive and found this code: https://pastebin.com/qzJ3RSnj I d...

Re: Hi! New Here, Trying to Make a 3D Game

there was a 3D tutorial for the Net Yaroze back in the days, but I can't find it on the internet right now. If you can only find 2D homebrew tutorials, it's because making a 3D game on the Playstation require quite some skills and understanding of the specific 3D hardware of the Playstation (which h...

I see no point in using the net yaroze SDK, which is far less capable than the official PSY-Q available.

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

nice ! Thank you for this, It's really a nightmare to compile GCC under windows, I never managed to get it working, I always used precompiled toolchain (like pspsdk) but it's an old gcc version
I wonder if the code is better optimized with this version

Re: help project FF9 under Psy-Q SDK

C or C++ only

You should contact LameGuy64 for any question related to HIS engine.
btw, I don't think his engine is available to public.
but you can try this open source psx 3D engine https://github.com/Kannagi/LMP3D

Re: help project FF9 under Psy-Q SDK

the Psy-Q doesn't have a 3D Engine, it can show basic 3D models with TMD. Each game studio had to make their own game engine. if you don't know how to code, forget about 3D, or FF9, you really believe that you, a beginner, can compete with a team of 100 competent peoples that worked for years to mak...
