Where should I start?

Post by NeKommAlter » November 24th, 2020, 1:01 am

What's up, everyone? I just joined the discord server and I want to dive into PS1 development.

Before arriving here, I was basically playing around with the raylib framework and experimenting with Godot's GDNative since I learned C and C++ first and preferrably like to code in C at the moment. Other use cases are study-related, these being OpenCV and very few (almost no) parts of PostgreSQL. I also started to learn how to use Blender for modeling.

I am coding on Manjaro Linux, so I would like to know what framework or SDK could be used, preferrably for 3D graphics. I use Visual Studio Code as often as I can.

I also would like to know if there are some tutorials about programming - something like a Hello World demo.

Thanks in advance.
The suffering is not punishment, but the very energy that produces all experiences.

There are modern alternatives to Psy-Q that newcomers should consider. I have listed all the options I am aware of on the following post.
Also, you might be also interested in source-level debugging. I released a fork of PCSX-r that allows this for any IDE supporting cross-debuggers such as mipsel-unknown-elf-gdb, including vscode. Please read the following post for more information.
