If memory serves, 'scanf' is a functions which reads input from the keyboard. Obviously, the PSX has no keyboard so functions like 'fflush' are not available either. There are probably other functions missing too, in which case you'll have to write your own. Additionally things like 'sin', 'cos' etc. work so mind-numbingly slowly that there use is limited to say the least. Use look-up tables instead!
