    #maug can now read files off of the CD-ROM and (very crudely) blit bitmaps onto the screen on #PlayStation. At a reasonable speed, even! Even when I tested on real hardware! 😌

    Now I just gotta figure out transparency and work out some of these glitches... The AI plane isn't moving (but it is trying to turn?) so maybe the lisp interpreter is ballsed up...

    But reading the CD and allocating VRAM is not trivially simple on the PSX! So... So far, so good!

    Screenshot of the emulator DuckStation running my mdust cropduster "simulator" prototype... There are thick black squares around the sprites and the fonts are mushy and blurry, and there are black spots on the textures... But it's running!

    You're telling me if I wanna use sprites then texture RAM is divided into PAGES?! And I gotta align my spritesheets?!
