NitroXide

Rocket-car football for the PlayStation. Drive, boost, jump and score. It's an early build, but the whole match loop is there: kickoffs, goals, the clock, and a scoreboard keeping count.

The game

• MATCH plays you against the CPU. If a second controller answers, it becomes split-screen versus instead.
• PRACTICE is free play with the opponent parked, for learning the car.
• Boost, jump, dodge and air roll are all in. L1 doubles as powerslide on the ground and air roll in the air, the way you'd expect.
• Matches run in daylight, at sunset or under floodlights.

The music

The soundtrack is real CD audio streamed off the disc: four tracks by Just Music, used with the artist's permission. Non-commercial only.

How to run it

Two ways to play:

• NitroXide also ships on the PSoXide Demo Disc with nine other programs, and that disc runs in your browser on the PSoXide page, no emulator setup needed.
• Or take the standalone image from this page: bin plus cue. Boot the cue in a PS1 emulator (PSoXide, DuckStation and PCSX-Redux all work), or burn it to a CD-R for a modchipped console.

Technical details

• Written from scratch in Rust on the PSoXide SDK.
• The physics are tuned against Rocket League's published field values, converted to integer math because the PS1 has no floating-point unit.
• The image is 126 MB, almost all of it the soundtrack riding as CD-DA tracks.
