This project takes the now offline psxdev.de (archived) project's GIMP TIM image format plugin source code and brings it up to date to run under GIMP 2.10.
The plugin does not yet run under the latest version of GIMP, 3.0.
It splits the psxdev-gimp-2.0.0 folder out from the fuller dev environment archived on github.
- tim.c: Extends GIMP to read and write images in TIM format. 24-bit mode is currently not supported.
- bs.c / rgba.c: BS (MDEC Stream / JPEG like image format) GIMP plugin. Not yet working on 2.10.
- libgtk2.0-dev
- libgimp2.0-dev
Ubuntu/Linux:
gcc tim.c -o gimp-psx-tim `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 gimp-2.0`
Find your plugins folder via the GIMP "Preferences" dialog, under "Folders > Plug-ins".
Copy the output file, gimp-psx-tim, to that folder.
PSXDEV is a free, GPL'd development environment for the Sony PlayStation aka PSX. It consists of a collection of utitiles, a patched GNU egcs compiler, patched GNU binutils, a device driver (kernel module) and data converters. It requires a PC commslink package, an ActionReplay with the CAETLA PS/PAR replacement firmware and of course a PSX. It does not include the required development libraries, includes and documentation - see documentation why.
It allows you to up- and download main memory, video memory and memory card contents. Besides that, it's a full remote-target cross-compiling development environment hosted under unix. A remote PSX application can use the unix host as a file server and standard input/output can also be redirected. The kernel device driver has a simple API and support libraries; this makes it very easy to write special video game development applications like graphic editors, which for example can directly communicate with the target system.
PlayStation(TM) is a registered trademark of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. PSXDEV is not a SCEI product and has no relations to SCEI, is not supported by SCEI and was not developed by SCEI.
