Posting my findings in case someone starts a translation or reverse engineering project for this game.

The decompression function can be found in CAP0.EXE at address 0x8007681c. Only .CDB files containing TIM images or the kanji font are compressed, the rest is uncompressed data.

I tested with RetroArch v2024-05-23 swanstation but couldn't reproduce the issue with any controller type. Do L1 and R1 work with keyboard input? The defaults are Q and W.

Updated Psy-Q 4.6 libraries attached in first post after fixing a symbol alignment bug.
The pcsx-redux project has an equivalent tool which is better maintained and tested:

Nice work adding subtitles to the STR :clap

Human Entertainment games are awesome, I'd like to see the Twilight Syndrome games translated one day.

I looked into KFONT.CDB format and it actually has nothing to do with D.J. Bernstein's cdb format. The CDB extension might stand for Compressed Data ...

That's strange, I would guess there's a problem with the libraries then. Does __SN_ENTRY_POINT exist in libsn.a?
mipsel-unknown-elf-readelf -a /usr/local/mipsel-unknown-elf/third_party/psyq/lib/libsn.a | grep __SN_ENTRY_POINT

Elvarg, the same toolchain should work for both PSn00bSDK and the cube example. I pushed a minor fix for the cube makefile that might help with the linker issue.

The "undefined reference" errors are due to PSYQ libraries not being linked at all (or being empty?) - if the makefile fix doesn't work ...

pcsxr writes printf output to stdout with the HLE BIOS.

Thanks for trying it out, I did find a bug in the executable header - most emulators don't care about some of the values so it worked anyway. This is now fixed in the repository.

I tested the cube example with epsxe, no$psx, mednafen, pcsxr and on hardware.
Did you run "cube.exe" (not "cube" ELF ...

After using Psy-Q SDK for a while I got fed up with using the > 20 year old development environment through DOSBox. I liked having a complete SDK, but wished it could be used with modern tools.

Inspired by spirit_t0aster's work, I started looking into reverse engineering the remaining bits of the ...

Here are recent backups that have been uploaded to archive.org:

You were right, all examples worked on pcsxr when not using the HLE bios. Nice!

Wow, awesome! I've wished for a better open-source alternative to PSYQ and PSXSDK.

I built the PSn00bSDK and tried out examples on an emulator, n00bdemo was really cool.
The demos worked with epsxe, but hang in ResetGraph with pcsxr. Any idea why this happens?
