Could you build this?
No Boku-ps1 is a native PlayStation 1 homebrew game or engine requiring direct hardware programming for the MIPS R3000A CPU and custom PS1 coprocessors.
What it would actually take: Building PS1 software requires toolchains like Psy-Q or open-source alternatives like PSXSDK/Nugget, writing C or MIPS assembly targeted specifically at the PS1 architecture. The hard parts include handling hardware-specific limitations: fixed-point math, managing 2MB RAM and 1MB VRAM, controlling the Geometry Transformation Engine (GTE) manually, and orchestrating CD-ROM streaming. Requires retro console systems programming expertise.
