adaptation/port of https://github.com/cyxx/rawgl (Another World) for the PlayStation using PSn00bSDK

rawpsx

PlayStation re-implementation of the engine used in the game Another World (Out of This World), based on rawgl, rewritten in C using PSn00bSDK. At the moment rawpsx only supports running the full DOS version of the game, but eventually I will probably add support for the Amiga version and the DOS demo as well.

The sw branch renders the graphics in software mode and uploads the resulting page to VRAM, and is the primary branch since it looks like the entire game works fine this way, with little to no performance issues.

The hw branch renders everything using the GPU, but has palette swapping issues and is outdated.

Running pre-built releases

1. Obtain the latest GitHub release, if there are any.
2. Put the data files from the DOS version of Another World/Out of This World into the data folder. You only need the files BANKxx and MEMLIST.BIN.
3. Get mkpsxiso and ensure it is in PATH or in the same folder as rawpsx.exe.
4. Run makeiso.bat or makeiso.sh. This will produce rawpsx.iso.
5. Write the ISO image to a CD-R and play it on your PlayStation using a modchip or some sort of other protection bypass.

Building

1. Set up PSn00bSDK and ensure it is in PATH.
2. Get mkpsxiso and ensure it is in PATH. You can put it into the tools/bin folder of your PSn00bSDK install.
3. Put the data files from the DOS version of Another World/Out of This World into the data folder. You only need the files BANKxx and MEMLIST.BIN.
4. Run make iso. This will produce rawpsx.iso and rawpsx.exe.
5. Write the ISO image to a CD-R and play it on your PlayStation using a modchip or some sort of other protection bypass.
