I actually made progress on this! I figured out, that when the Z Axis of my sprite is 0, then the it will be twice the original size. So I set the Z to 1 and set the SetGeomScreen to 1. Now it works! I think this is related to the perspective calculation (h/Sz)? Where h is the distance to the screen...

Heyho :D I started reading and playing around with the GTE - and as always I run into various problems. (I wonder why am I always the guy asking those things >o<) My plan is to display a simple 2D rectangle with a texture, with all the GTE stuff happening but with a rotation and translation of 0 - a...

For some reason the forum is still messed up for me :c I use a different browser now... VAG streaming sounds difficult xO I should be happy with XA I guess. However... some games do have an intro music for there songs which will not be looped. How can I create such a thing? Having 2 XA files? One co...

For some reason the design of the forum and website is totaly broken for me .w. I have no idea why and if it is related to the cloudflare protection? It makes it difficult to read thingy cause... it's now kinda a text file... Back to topic :D The longer audio loop thing caught my attention :> How wo...

But where would I find that file in PSYQ? If I search for XATUT.DOC I don't find it. I'm just curious where to pick that file up and if there are other files like that explaining other things. Also... I wonder: When I'm doing the XA-Streaming there is no chance to also load a different file from CD ...

Where does the PDF actually come from? Since it seems to not be a part of the PSYQ.
Are there more PDFs like that?

Thank you for the video rama3! This is actually a really good explanation :D Since my desperation back then I managed to get CDDA and XA to run - however this was more following the examples and such. Today I tried it a bit more detailed and I have two questions about this: 1.) Following the example...

I did looked into the examples of Sony but they never have a forced wait of 3 frames... I will try making a minimal programm now for just making the controller vibrate... Edit: Seems like this is really a timing issue - if I add printf statements in my striped down code, it will not vibrate unless I...

Thank you for the answer - sadly I did not fully understand it... Which callback do you mean? What do I have to check for complition? By now I changed my code to this: bool setupVibration() { u_char ActuatorAlign[] = {0x0, 0x1, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF}; if(PadInfoMode(this->port,InfoModeCurExID,0)) {...

Hey everyone :D Yeees I have another question again and yeeeeeeees I have no idea why it is not behaving. I have a DualShock controller being in the "digital mode" and I want to make actuators to well uhh vibrate? So I followed some example code I found in the PSYQ folders. When starting m...

Yeah I learned now that the BIOS plays a role in supporting the printf.

I actually tried the Duckstation with the wrong BIOS and was like "TTY Output" is not working... Well with the right BIOS (ps-30e) it worked finally x3

I will try pcsxr as well! Thank you both :3

Hey everyone :3 not sure if this is the right part of the forum. However... I wonder which PSX emulator do show the things I print ouf with "printf". I need this for development and therefore used the No$PSX emulator where this feature worked totaly fine. However, the No$PSX emulator has p...

Sadly - your suggestions didn't fixed the problem I still have the same issue as before. Also.... Using your code gave me the same base address for the heap, like __HeapBase did - size were different however... Edit: Please end me x.x" The riddle is solved now - it was me all along! Before allo...

Hey everyone, I have a silly question again >o< Don't get mad at me! For my "game" I prepared an OrderingTable for some elements by declaring globaly: #define OT_LENGTH 10 GsOT Wot[2]; GsOT_TAG zsorttable[2][1 << OT_LENGTH]; int activeBuffer; And setting them up with: // set OT resolution ...

I highly recommend using XEBRA and NO$PSX to test your programs.

I couldn't agree more! I mostly use NO$PSX - I had issues with XEBRA.... but I forgot what I was >O> I need to double check

Thank you Shadow! That tool is really awesome

I tried burning the ISO with CDBurnerXP - but sadly this didn't worked out. I hoped to get rid of Alcohol120%. However, still an awesome tool x3

Heyho, so I'm having issues with sounds again - seems like I'm not best friends with it. However, compared to two month ago I was able to at least play VAG and XA files - so I made some progress. Now I wanted to try CD-DA but... I fail and I have no idea why. I grabbed a .mp3 file and converted it t...

There's no way your 4MB file can be played like that. It simply won't fit in RAM. Instead, you can use CD audio or XA audio to stream from disk. These streams can't be modified with the SPU synth features, they're basically just pass-through. Are there any examples or tutorials to learn that? All I...

After calming down I decided to try the code examples of the PSYQ regarding the sound. I hope to get there VB files running, maybe I understand enough to answer my questions....

Help and tips are still welcome of course xO

Thank you once more!
Your answer really helped me! I'm not skilled enough for tackling any form of compression yet, but I at least have some form of feeling how I should arrange my files now.

Thank you x3
