I'd love to make a game for the original PSX. Not really doing it for money but fulfilling my childhood fantasy of making my own game on the playstation and playing it. A kid in my class had the Net Yaroze I was mad jealous.

You could try using RPG Maker to create it. A lot of people made stuff for PSX back in the day like that. Not as cool/hard as making an entire game on your own but still something.

RPGMaker is such a classic. I've found the console was much easier to make what you wanted, where as the PC version was a bit more convoluted.

I used the PC version, enjoyed it but was disappointed at the battle scene (static image of enemies).

I tried to use Chipmunk Basic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/psxbasic/) with the Game Enhancer hooked up to a serial port on my computer...no dice

I wonder what would've happened to my career had that worked when I was 12.
