Nolibgs Demo disc

This is a sub-project of https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds, which intends to demonstrate the combined use of several feats:

• Streaming FMV from the CD ; the menu background is a looping STR file, which is the video format use by the PSX.
• Audio playback using @nicolasnoble's modplayer ; the music and sound effects are using a converted MOD file.
• Using overlays to load and execute 'sub-process'.

Separate examples for these features are available here :

• https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_str
• https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_mod
• https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_ovl_exec

Pre-requisites

This project uses a nugget + PsyQ setup. Instructions for setting that up on your computer are available here : https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/#installation

Cloning this repo

Clone recursively as we're using a submodule:

git clone https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_demo.git --recursive

Compiling

You need mkpsxiso in your $PATH to generate a PSX disk image. Typing

make

in a terminal will compile and generate the bin/cue files.

Typing

make cleansub

will clean the current directory

Make sure to make clean before trying to compile again, or you will have errors showing up.

Creating the disk image

mkpsxiso -y isoconfig.xml

CD image

For the curious, a bin/cue is available from the release page : https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_demo/releases.
