That's your problem. You are always looking for specific docs. I'll tell you again there is nothing like that for the Psx. You gotta find out a method by yourself using a debugger.

There isn't any general purpose font command. Each game has its own method. How long are you gonna ask for something that doesn't even exist?

There is no font instructions. There is nothing but general purpose CPU instructions. It's called ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE....

The CPU has a set of instructions. That's all it can do. It's up to the programmer to use that set of instructions to make something worthwhile happen. This usually occurs when the instructions reference memory locations that are in fact hardware ports of other hardware pieces in the system such as the graphics hardware.

So then.. how do you suppose a font is drawn? Well the program will load it from the CD and stick in video memory using video hardware registers in some fashion. How is this exactly done? It can be  different on every game. So, how do you figure it out? Read about the playstation hardware and figure out what registers could be used. What locations will you want to trigger in a debugger.

Our database already contains ALL of the information you will need to do this. You need to READ it. You have huge misconceptions.

Displaying font in the PSX is done virtually the exact same way as it is on most other consoles. The only difference is the potential graphical format of the font and the hardware registers and process it goes through. This is documented in the hardware documentation.

As I have suggested MANY times before to you, you really should work with something easier first because you're just snowballing yourself because you don't understand many fundamental concepts and keep jumping ahead.

It's not just me. Most of the respected and experienced hackers here are telling you the same thing. We're not all assholes you know. We're telling you what you need to do and telling you the resources are already here. We're also telling you nobody is going to do this for you and spoon feed you step by step instructions for your game which is what you're asking for. Don't say you're not. You've got several people here telling you that you are.

:laugh: Oh wow. No game or system has a specific method to put font, and there's no magical place to magically get it. It's been like that since 1982. Storing it is about the only common theme you'll find. Ever open up a tile editor and look at all the formats? Assembly doesn't put that there, copying and pasting hex data, or maybe even (*shriek*) typing it all in manually does.

Yeah, that's been established for quite some time now. You have so many misconceptions about how things are done on all of these consoles, it's really amazing. Tell me, why are you trying to hack a PS game? You're clearly biting off more than you can chew, I'm just wondering the reasoning behind this. Right now, you think apples are oranges, oranges are grapefruit, and a train will lead you on your way on a paved road. Rough analogy, but you know.

Given your past history, you're going to give up the very instant you hit a snag trying to tweak any routine. Assembly is very low-level, and you need to make sure that if you expand a routine, the what you move gets accounted for. This means changing at least one, possibly many jump addresses (as one example). Not to say it can't be done, but it will take more than 30 seconds worth of work. My point is, have patience. Don't make hasty decisions, learn why the routines are doing what they are doing. Tutorials can't teach you that, experience of studying them does.

Take from this what you will, though I have a pretty good idea of what the result will be.

So I'll learn how to program Playstation, no big deal. If this is hard, I imagine NES assembly would be rather easy.

When I started hacking about 2 years ago when this site didn't exist and I couldn't find any ASM docs except for the official documentation on the processor, I assembled my first ASM hack (a DTE hack) by figuring out the binary opcodes, converting them to hex, and typing them in the hex editor. So yeah, it's definitely possible.. but a major pain in the ass.
