Hello all,
I'm a backend programmer and CS teacher and I've been willing to make stuff on the ps1 for a long time (I mostly do enterprisey Java stuff (booooring) and some Unity/Godot).
I'm looking for pointers on how to set my toolchains, what should I read first to get started and to have a better grasp on the system. The ideal for me would be to be able to use some kind of unix (i'm on a mac, but I could use docker or whatnot for the toolchain). I think I understood that there was some version of GCC that could be used to target the ps1 CPU. (But that means i'm not using Psy-Q, right? )
While I was searching, I stumbled on this link : http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?psx/ ... l/tuto.htm
So I bought an Xplorer FX which should arrive in the following days (UK > France, so not that long, unless the brexit happens out of nowhere and fucks up the delivery ) and as far as I understand, when it will be flashed with caetaflash, i'll be able to send programs from the serial port (or whatnot, I guess I can use an adapter, but fortunately old thinkpads does have serial ports).
I'm calling for your hacker wisdom, psxdev community

Well, I started doing stuff by messing around with the examples from Orion's lib.
I don't know if it the best alternative, but it's certainly the one where it's easy to make sprites moving on the screen.

If you're looking for how to setup an environment for using the official SDK:
I have this simple example using a bat file to setup the environment and makefile to build and create a PS1 ISO.
