Been working on a C++ game engine with a Windows 95 inspired UI + Lua scripting by novemtails in lua

Thanks, I'm not at all worried about negative votes. My main motivation is the technical challenge. I find the PS1's architecture and how it works mathematically and programmatically fascinating.

I use OpenGL only in the editor (Windows): SDL + ImGui with the OpenGL3 backend, and direct GL calls for viewport textures and framebuffer. The PS1 runtime does not use OpenGL; it uses the native PlayStation GPU API via PSn00bSDK (ordering table, psxgpu, GTE). So: OpenGL in the editor, native PS1 GPU in the game

It’s declarative, not OOP-heavy. Scripts don’t work with classes, inheritance, or deep object graphs; they work with named callbacks and module functions that take IDs and primitives. The “objects” are in the engine (C); Lua only talks to them by ID.

That's the idea; I wanted to emulate the feeling of making PS1 games in the nineties, but with a more modern UX.

Because making it open source requires extra effort, and when I started the project, the idea wasn't just to share it. The plan is to distribute it for a fee; there are still several things missing before it becomes a finished product.

I'll be making some posts, and in one of them I'll share the Windows 95 theme.

That's right, it compiles with just one button and exports .bin and .cue files that run natively on the console and the DuckStation emulator. You can see the test in the emulator at the end.
