PSX emulators and printf

Post by Jaberwocky » April 28th, 2020, 6:48 pm

Hey everyone :3

not sure if this is the right part of the forum. However...

I wonder which PSX emulator do show the things I print ouf with "printf". I need this for development and therefore used the No$PSX emulator where this feature worked totaly fine. However, the No$PSX emulator has problems with my XBox360 controller and because I'm currently learning about the DualShock support, I have big issues with getting anything running. Especially when it comes to vibration (is my code not working or does the emulator as a problem? {A test on real hardware showed my code is faulty as well})

So I tried different emulators like the XEBRA which also has a debug window - but nothing is ever printed there.
I also tried mednafen - I set the debug level to 4 and got some output - but never mine.

Does anyone has an idea about how to get the printfs work under XEBRA or mednafen? Or can recommend another emulator?

You can give Duckstation a try, it has TTY output.

pcsxr writes printf output to stdout with the HLE BIOS.

Yeah I learned now that the BIOS plays a role in supporting the printf.

I actually tried the Duckstation with the wrong BIOS and was like "TTY Output" is not working... Well with the right BIOS (ps-30e) it worked finally x3

I will try pcsxr as well! Thank you both :3
