Building from scratch

TL;DR: If you know yml code, then just check out the GitHub action workflow

  • Step 1: Setting up the environment First things first, you need to download Git, Visual Studio 2022 or its Build Tools package, both are fine. The last thing you need is VulkanSDK, on this site you should click on VulkanSDK-x.x.xxx.x-Installer.exe link, then just run the said installer and install it without any changes in its options.

    • Step 1.2: Visual Studio installation When you click on the installer's exe you'll see a window with a bunch of checkboxes. You need to check Desktop development with C++ on the left pane, and then C++ Clang tools for Windows on the right pane, now you all set! Just click the install button and wait for the process to finish.

  • Step 2: Clone the psOff repo Open any folder you want (I personally prefer %USERPROFILE%\Documents\GitHub) then hold Shift and click RMB on the empty space in this folder. In the new context menu, click "Open in Terminal". Type in the following command: git.exe clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SysRay/psOff_public.git

  • Step 3: Building the emulator

    • Step 3.1: Configure the project Type this into your terminal window: cmake.exe -S. -B_build/_Release -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=_build/_Install -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang-cl.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang-cl.exe wait 'til it finishes. There shouldn't be any errors.

    • Step 3.2: Build the project And now type this: cmake.exe --build _build/_Release -j4 This process could take a while. If you see any red text, then you probably missed something. Ask for help on out discord server.

    • Step 3.3: Copying libs Finally, type this command: cmake.exe --install _build/_Release Its execution usually takes under 2 or 3 seconds

    • Step 3.4: Obtaining executable If you believe that you did everything right, then all you have to do is get the executable binary somewhere. You can use the latest GitHub release for this purpose and hope that it will run with the libraries you just built. When you download the archive with the latest release, open it and copy emulator.exe from it to your emulator folder to the following path: psOff_public/_build/_Install.

Done! Now you can try to modify the emulator's code and see how it works.
