MacOS

• On MacOs, a brew installation script can be found here.

  Windows 10

• Native build :
  Follow the instructions here to build pcsx-redux or download a pre-compiled pcsx-redux binary here.

• Win 10 + WSL2 (needs GUI support):
  Install WSL2 with GUI support and Ubuntu 20.04 then launch a GNU/Linux terminal, then proceed with the following instructions.

• Alternatively on Windows, if you don't care about getting/compiling pcsx-redux, you can skip steps 1, 3 and 4, get the latest precompiled toolchain from here : http://static.grumpycoder.net/pixel/mips/, unzip it somewhere and add the bin folder to your PATH. Then go on with steps 5 and 6.

  GNU/Linux

1. Install the needed software packages ( aka dependencies in Linux world ) :

• To be able to build PsyQ code, you only need the MIPS toolchain :

sudo apt-get install gcc-mipsel-linux-gnu g++-mipsel-linux-gnu binutils-mipsel-linux-gnu

• If you want to compile pcsx-redux, you need a few more packages :

sudo apt-get install -y git make pkg-config clang g++ libfreetype6-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libglfw3-dev libsdl2-dev libswresample-dev libuv1-dev zlib1g-dev

See here if you're using an Arch derivative.

2. Clone the pcsx-redux repo :

git clone https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux.git --recursive

3. Enter pcsx-redux folder:

   cd pcsx-redux

4. Compile pcsx-redux :

make

If you encounter an error due to an old version of GCC (< 10) like something about -fcoroutines, then you can use clang ( min version 9) to compile pcsx-redux :

CC=clang CXX=clang++ LD=clang++ make

5. Get the converted PsyQ 4.7 libs :

wget http://psx.arthus.net/sdk/Psy-Q/psyq-4.7-converted-full.7z

6. Extract this archive to [...]pcsx-redux/src/mips/psyq/, adapting the path ( the part after -o) in the command below to the folder you cloned pcsx-redux in :

7z x -o./src/mips/psyq/ psyq-4.7-converted-full.7z

Your pcsx-redux/src/mips/psyq/ directory should now contain an include and a lib folder with a bunch of files in each of them :

$tree ~/pcsx-redux/src/mips/psyq/
.
├── include
│   ├── abs.h
│   ├── ...
│   ├── strings.h
│   └── sys
│       ├── errno.h
│       ├── ...
│       └── types.h
├── lib
│   ├── libapi.a
│   ├── ...
│   └── libtap.a
└── tree

3 directories, 82 files

7. That's it ! After that you can check everything's working by trying to compile some example code :

cd src/mips/psyq/cube
make 

You should know have a 'cube.ps-exe' file in the folder. This is a PSX executable you can load with most emulators.
