Does anyone know the normal DPi of normal Playstation One textures?

Or any more information regarding them? Thanks!

DPI has no place in texture mapping. I would guess you mean what was the maximum texture size in the PS1. There were a variety of different web sites that catered to PSX programming. One of the better ones is the Padua Playstation Resource:

You'll find all the PSX info you need there, as well as some simple examples.

Thanks,
Sorry for the misuse of the term, I'm not one of the programmers on my team, so I might not have all the lingo in the right places.

Also, What languages can PS1 handle?

ASM(Assembly), C++, and what else?

[J.F.]

While you can use any language there's a MIPS 3000 compiler for, the PSX has such little memory that most folks never use more than C and assembly. The Padua link above has an assembler on it. If you want a nice little PSX gcc development package, try PSOneDevStudio by streak:

EDIT: You'll find a variety of different PSX tools here: http://www.psxdev-pl.yoyo.pl/index.php?id=dl-dev

Thanks, good to know.

Oh, here's another really good link - lots of C and assembly code along with libs for various things.

psx has a max texture uv/size of 256x256. if we wanted to draw a 320x240 wallpaper or background then we would have to draw 2 textured sprites. 1: 256x240 and 2: 64x240
