Toolchain Setup

Before touching the engine, set up the PS1 dev toolchain. It isn't bundled with the engine โ€” follow the "The toolchain" section of the official psyqo Getting Started guide first.

At minimum you'll need:

  • A MIPS cross-compiler toolchain (mips-linux-gnu or similar) on your PATH
  • make
  • git
  • An emulator that can run .ps-exe files, e.g. PCSX-Redux or DuckStation, for testing builds

Once that's in place, move on to scaffolding a game.
