Hi. Does anyone have an example of displaying 24-bit images?
I tried using Sony's example, but their RGB24.OBJ (psyq/psx/sample/graphics/BASIC) is missing some routines required for their code (RGB24.C) and hence wont compile.

I'm currently working on one but I'm having trouble with my buffered file loader...I'll release it along with source once I've fixed the problem and adding a file selector.

Well, I fixed Sony's example. Here is RGB24 all working
It has a 'puzzle' solving algorithm in it that will be need to ripped out in order to display the 24-bit flowers correctly.

Help on creating BS images using MC32 would be fantastic, as I have been trying but during psymake I get the error "image.bs:1: parse error before character 240". If I play around with the sector and or CD-ROM info, I get different compiler errors, such as "more {'s than {'s". Very weird.

Okay, there is a very useful document in the Psy-Q Software Development Kit Documentation CD-ROM called 'MDECNOTE.PDF' that explains .BS files.

When I create my .BS file from my .TIM using MC32 or Movie Converter, the file it gives me looks like this when edited with notepad. This is why I was getting those weird and random compiler error messages I described above:


However, Sony's FLOWER.BS looks much different:


I tried converting mine to a header file using BIN2H, but all I get is a black screen.
The compiled PS-EXE seems to be causing the PSX to freeze...

Any suggestions?

The "0x..." format isn't a binary format, it's simply a binary file converted to hexadecimal values for easier include into your C program.
But for example, when loading an external data from CDrom, you will need to load the binary file, not the hexa file !!
My library can load BS file but I didn't made an example on how to use it, gotta find out by yourself until I find some time to make more use samples of my lib.
