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".
