Simplest way to display an image

Post by onion » July 21st, 2018, 10:48 pm

Sorry for the stupid question; I'm very new to PS1 development and I was wondering what the simplest possible way to draw a texture onto the screen would be.http://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=313 <- This example is the simplest one I've seen and even that's hundreds of lines long.

That is the simplest way of doing it. The only other way is if you code it up in assembly which would not include a lot of library functions, thus increasing your room in RAM. That however is a more complex route (give or take) unless you're super fluent in assembler.
Development Console: SCPH-5502 with 8MB RAM, MM3 Modchip, PAL 60 Colour Modification (for NTSC), PSIO Switch Board, DB-9 breakout headers for both RGB and Serial output and an Xplorer with CAETLA 0.34.

PlayStation Development PC: Windows 98 SE, Pentium 3 at 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM, DTL-H2000, DTL-H2010, DTL-H201A, DTL-S2020 (with 4GB SCSI-2 HDD), 21" Sony G420, CD-R burner, 3.25" and 5.25" Floppy Diskette Drives, ZIP 100 Diskette Drive and an IBM Model M keyboard.
