Cool stuff, keep up the good work!

Awesome to see a homebrew game made in such a short time! Can't wait to see what other homebrew stuff you make!

Developer

thanks I felt and still feel a bit foolish to try homebrew. There are so many nice entities including your.

This is really cool! I'll also be taking a look at the tutorials you posted in another comment. Am very interested in learning how to do home brew PlayStation games

You wouldn't consider making a tutorial, or a dev log of how you made your game for PSX?

Because making iso files that work on emulators is amazing.

There are several tutorials, but I also have a few github that help beginners get setup. (Also a channel called Wituz on youtube that has a PSX dev tutorial series - but he uses very old software to compile the games).

Basically the steps to get to iso:

1) Setup the development environment (SDK + compiler + make)

2) Compile the ps-exe (most emulators can run this - but of course it does not contain audio CD)

3) Use a tool such as mkpsxiso to make the CD image (if necessary)

A good place to get you started:

This is exactly what I was looking for, documentation to understand how to get started.

And as a bonus you also put your game on Github!

Thank you, thank you very much for all these links.

I'm not able to play your game , I tried with PSX emulator but couldn' find out how to use it.

You have to have an emulator installed / unzipped.

You then unzip the bin/cue file from Buzzy Bee, and then load the Buzzy Bee bin / cue file into the emulator (same as you would for any other PSX image/rom).

Developer

I added an emulator+rom. Download, unzip, and click run_me.bat
