VoXide

A Minecraft-style sandbox that runs on a real PlayStation. Written from scratch in Rust, no emulation involved: the disc boots on original hardware, which is also what the title screen brags about.

What works

• World generation, block by block, on a console with two megabytes of RAM.
• Mining, crafting and survival. Dig, build, try not to die.
• This is an early playable build, and plenty is still missing.

How to run it

Two ways to play:

• VoXide 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 in Rust on the PSoXide SDK.
• Assets stream from the disc at boot; the game itself fits in a 2.5 MB image.
