I was curious if code from one rom system can be remade into another,so we can play the sega Saturn version on ps1,but I don’t know anything about coding to do it,so due to that I wanted to asked if it is possible.

Never ask the question "Is (thing) possible?", especially not in classic hacking, because 'course it is! As long as you work hard at it, it can absolutely become a reality. That takes YOU, but I can give some recommendations to start: (For reference, PSX is what PS1 is usually referred to in the community and MIPS is the assembly code the PSX uses for all kinds of calculations, value transfers and whatnot)1. Get the basics of classic hacking down (terminology, hexadecimal code, using debuggers, etc.) 2. Mess around with little things in the game's code, starting with stuff like the life and heart counts, then move on to trying to corrupt the game, get used to hacking and debugging. 3. Learn the PSX architecture ( link to a great document on this) and look through these other links: - University of Northern Iowa's MIPS Assembly Language Guide
- MIPS R3000 Instruction Set Summary (added 11/27/23, forgot about MIPS instructions, whoops ) - Long-time SotN hacker Nyxojaele's documentation- SotN.dev website which is all about SotN's files and code- PSX.Dev Discord Server where you can ask for help if needed- SOTN Decomp Discord Server where you can watch them unpack and research the code and ask questions if needed- sotn-decomp where the decompilation is being updated, can study a great amount of both the PSX and Saturn versions' code4. Get involved in our and other communities! Make friends interested in things like this, learn the quirks of the community and what's new, make it worth your while, even if you don't succeed in this effort P.S. Also if ya can, put SotN hacking discussion in PSX Castlevania Hacking just to avoid clutter!
