I had thought this would be possible (why else include the CD reading commands in the libraries), you just couldn't create a bootable CD, but I haven't had any luck at it. Any disks I've created (1 track, CD-XA Mode 2), don't return a directory when DIR is done from SIOCONS. I would like to be able to write a game using all high-resolution, high color graphics, but there just plain isn't room in the Psx's memory for what I want to do. One screen of 16-bit, 640 X 480 graphics takes up about 600K (my current titlescreen does, anyways). While there is plenty of room for a little area of tiled graphics, I want to write an RPG with large, detailed artwork, with different graphics sets for different areas, and maybe the occasional full screen picture (or maybe just some real good storyline animations? I dunno...). -- - Dreamwriter Dragon dreamer@sinclair.net -==UDIC==-
