Thats really tidy, what tools and parts did you use?

Be cool if you could target windows. i dont have a linux set up :)




Might be a stupid question but what would be the steps to get this working natively on windows machine, eg the original yaroze was DJGPP and didnt require a linux/unix shell etc.. is there a way to get it cross compiled to work ...

Lameguy, do you have tutorials or anything on how to use your tools?
Ive not checked and just being lazy and asking

HI. insted of external cables, can you make a board that mounts in a regular machine. I have lots of external tyoe cords byt want to just use a USB mini connector or wireless/bluetooth

You will love this request. Can you port it to .net lol.. im going to have to get back up to speed with c.. as ive been dabbling with XNA/monogame more than yaroze/psx. is your compiler windows native? eg not having to run a linux shell?

indeed, an old version of RPG Maker exist for the PS1, but you have no way of making your own graphics and you have to make the game on the ps1, you cannot export from the PC.
I made an RPG myself for the PS1, it took me more than 1 year of work, working full time.

Id like to just buy the board. dont need a full psx

Any updates to this cool project in the last month?

watching with interest

Awesome work, will be very keen to see this progress

From memory it was Frothy or Graeme Evans ( names seems to be stuck in my head )

Same guy who did the C++ builds.

You need a GENUINE FTDI module, the one used by gwald is currently the best solution and is easily availble. There are not many around that have the full handshaking, as most applications (Arduino etc) its not needed. It must have all the signals detailed in my initial post (RXD/TXD/RTS/CTS/DTR ...

I believe those are RS232 cables and not TTL. I remember from my high school days
in Cisco course we used cables with DB9 to RJ45 connectors which those cables you linked are emulating.

In short, you will fry your PS1 if you connect it without MAX232 IC.

Edit:
Haha, I still have one of those ...

Where can you find SioNT?

Thanks

It was a bit of code from the Yaroze Forums long ago.

Oh goodie you are trying again

Here's a download of the GNU GCC 7.2.0 Toolchain and Binutils 2.29.1 compiled using MinGW32 for 32-bit Windows hosts. I decided to put this up when I managed to compile the toolchain under Windows some time ago which took me quite awhile to figure out even with msys and cygwin64 environments for ...

I got the yaroze gdb compiler compiled using the DJGPP cdrom from archive.org.
It ran in winXP, but had problems communicating :'(

So I've completely given up on this.. way too hard for me :(


You mentioned

"I"m not sure what the flags --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld do"

the LD is the Linker and ...

danhans42. Are you still making versions of this for sale?
These sorts of cables look a nice option now
