[GD-Consoles] Game programming for playstation One?

[Henrik A. <pet...@ho...>]

Hi!
I am a newbie in game programming for Sony Playstation PSOne. I am familiar
with game programming in c++ for windows. Which tools are used for the
playstation? Are there any open source programming tools to ease the porting
from windows to playstation?

Thanks in advance!

Back when I used to work on PSOne, it was the SN tools (compiler, linker),
and the DOS debugger (as the Windows debugger was busted). The debugger may
work these days :)

Open source programming tools? Porting from Windows to PlayStation? I think
you're in for a bit of a shock, unless things have moved on a lot. There
were no open source tools. And expect to rewrite almost all your code
(unless you usually do your arithmetic in fixed point on a PC :)

PS1 <shudder> ....  Not an answer to your question, but why not PS2 =
using PS2 linux kit?  Sony gives you enough stuff in the kit to do some =
nice game stuff.   People on this list also deal with the PS2 daily and =
you'll likely get better help especially with PS1 knowledge getting =
rusty...=20

BTW, I'll save someone else pointing this out, but you'll get better =
answers on this list if you at least _try_ to appear that you did a =
thorough search yourself.  A google search on what you want easily gives =
you what you're looking for on PS1.

Hi Henrik,

there are free tools available for ps1 programming but you'll also need some
hardware. there is a patched gcc (mipsgcc) version (based on 2.8x IIRC)
which has some problems with the "-O3" switch if you dont patch it (increase
stack size with some tool which comes with vc6 (cant remember the name).
you'll further need a AR with Comm-Card (ISA) and flash it with a another
firmware called "Caetla".
