JabyEngine

About

JabyEngine is my personal attempt to eventually make my own PS1 game from "ground up". Originally I didn't indented to release this code publicly but recently I decided to give it a try. If you read this, thank you!

How to build

JabyEngine can be build with a docker image using podman. Simply run the install.sh script from the podman folder and you should be good to go.

podman_jaby_engine.sh allows you to easily run the docker image for builds: podman_jaby_engine.sh <project mounting folder>:<working directory relative to project mounting folder> <Command to run> <Arg1> <Args2> <...>

The following environment variables should be set:

• JABY_ENGINE_PATH: The path to the root folder of this repo. If you used the install.sh script and the environment variable was not set, the script will have set it to the folder. Restarting the shell or VS Code might be required.
• PSX_LICENSE_PATH: The path to a folder containing the PS1 licenses for generating a CD.

Additionally you can also specify the following optional environment variables:

• JABY_ENGINE_NO_DOCKER: Turns off the usage of podman for builds. This is only recommended for specific development.

VS Code has build targets set for all the projects which should be build in this order:

• src/Tools/Tools.code-workspace: Build all tools
• src/Library/Library.code-workspace: Build JabyEngine for the configurations you need
• support/src/SupportLibrary.code-workspace (optional): Build for using support code
• examples/PoolBox/PoolBox.code-workspace(optional): Build for an example "game"

Building Tools (without VS Code)

make requires the following values to be passed:

• CARGO_CMD: build
• BUILD_PROFILE: debug/release

Building JabyEngine (without VS Code)

make requires the following values to be passed:

• BUILD_PROFILE: debug/release
• PSX_TV_FORMAT: PAL/NTSC
• CUSTOM_CONFIG: Empty or folder name under ./config

Building support library (without VS Code)

These projects shall eventually turn into useful extensions for the engine. So far they are more tests then proper code. However PoolBox is depended on FontWriter.

FontWriter (without VSCode)

make requires the following values to be passed:

• BUILD_PROFILE: debug/release

Building PoolBox (without VSCode)

PoolBox is the one and only example project so far. make requires the following values to be passed:

• BUILD_PROFILE: debug/release
• REGION: SCEE/SCEA/SCEI
• CUSTOM_CONFIG: Empty or folder name under $(JABY_ENGINE_PATH)/config
