psxdev-nix-flake

A collection of nix packages for Playstation 1 homebrew tools

Quickstart

To download, compile and run PSn00bSDK's n00bdemo example with pcsx-redux and openbios:

nix run github:emily-is-my-username/psxdev-nix-flake#run-n00bdemo-with-pcsx-redux

Package list

• pcsx-redux
• PSn00bSDK
• misc

pcsx-redux

Packages

• openbios:
  The open source PSX BIOS provided by pcsx-redux.

  • Requires a MIPS1 toolchain, which is not cached by cache.nixos.org, so it may take a long time to build this for the first time.

• pcsx-redux:
  The main package. Includes everything the upstream Makefile would install.

  • Building this package requires the BIOS to run tests. Use pcsx-redux-untested if you don't want to build openbios.

• pcsx-redux-tools:
  Additional tools exe2elf, exe2iso, ps1-packer, psyq-obj-parser from the pcsx-redux repository.

• pcsx-redux-untested:
  The same as pcsx-redux, but skips all tests. May be preferrable if you just want the emulator, not the BIOS and toolchain.

• pcsx-redux-with-openbios:
  pcsx-redux and openbios packaged together in an environment where the emulator can find openbios as a fallback BIOS.

Known Issues

• There may be audio issues on NixOS with unpatched miniaudio. I am using pipewire and had no issues so far. If you encounter anything, let me know.

PSn00bSDK

Packages

• psn00bsdk-libpsn00b:
  The main MIPS library package

• psn00bsdk-mkpsxiso

• psn00bsdk-tools

• psn00bsdk-examples

Misc

• run-n00bdemo-with-pcsx-redux:
  Example entrypoint script to start n00bdemo (from psn00bsdk-examples) with pcsx-redux
