Hey,

softwarewise i cannot help (maybe searching the net a bit would...), but to
program the normal PSX the best way (IMHO) is to have an
ActionReplay/GameBuster Module an a PCLink ISA card in your PC. Then flash the
AR ROM with a something called "caetla" (also to be found on the net e.g.
http://napalm.intelinet.com/) and yup now you can upload (and more...) your
progs to the PSX.

Hope this helped a little.

bye.

Hello,

Well for starters the Yaroze isn't a "chipped" Playstation it can't play
foreign or copied CD's either.

What it is is a Playstation (coloured black) that comes with the GCC
compiler and libraries to get you going in writing programs for the
Playstation and a serial cable to connect the Yaroze to your home PC/Mac.

If you wish to development you can use the Action Replay cartidge from Datel
and their Comms card (provides a parallel interface to the back of the
Action Replay at about 1.5Mbit/s) and attach it all to your existing
Playstation.

Next you'd need to change the ROM in the Action Replay for one from K-Comm
called "Caetla" this can be gotten from http://napalm.intelinet.com/ and
seems to be free (though I'm not sure as their site is in Japanese)

Then you can find the GCC compiler for the Mips processor and get some free
libraries from http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/2004/ny_e.htm and have a
go at coding.

... or, you can find a copy of the Yaroze SDK that is floating on the
internet *gasp*, of course you'd have to own up to Sony that you have their
SDK and pay them for it! :-)

... or, you can find Psy-q which is also floating around on the internet,
and of course you'd have to own up to SN Systems and pay for it.

Then you can write many little demos/games and be famous .... maybe :-)

A word of advise "READ EVERYTHING ON ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS SITES BEFORE
ASKING QUESTIONS!" Cause if you ask questions and the answer is allready
listed up, then people will not think very highly of you :-)

Oh yes, you do know how to code in 'C' don't you ?

Regards

Mark.

thanks for the info.

just a few questions.

so this is the main conection to the PC? by getting that other program
"Caetla" (what does it re program the bios or rom or something?) i would
basically have the set up to connect and transfer information to and from
PSX.

anyways i have found some interesting things, which you might liek to
comment on.

firstly the dev kit for the yaroze. i can download that , whcih i assume is
important. also the boot cd, though im not totally sure of what that cd
does, i have found it. I assume the dev kit has the compiler in it, so i
believe that woul dbe everything needed to get going.

oh and yes i do knwo C, though im still learning it, the osx dev stuff is
mainly for the future, want to grab it while its still around.

anyways cheers for the info,

Greg

Stealing the Yaroze compiler is illegal software piracy and you deserve a
lawsuit from Sony if you do it.

Well, if you just look at the offical Net Yaroze FAQ from Sony, you will
see The Yaroze hardware offers no territorial lock-out, which means that
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that it can play both PAL (Europe) and NTSC (Japan, U.S.) PlayStation discs.

You are right aboutthe copy bit, and everything else is correct, I'm just
nitpicking....

Grins, you may find yourself in a minority with that view (although I
agree!). Having said that, sony should do something about people
offering 'backup' games first!
