What bugs are you referring to? If there's some error in the level files, you'd have to figure out a way to modify those. If there's bugs in the binary of the executable, I'd suggest a disassembler and a lot of patience. I've modded the TR2 PSX binaries once to add support for the wolf and bear enemies, and it took over a month.

As for a tutorial on modifying psx level files, there isn't one. The way I do it is I take the PC levels as a base, modify them with TRMOD (a program I wrote myself), and then convert those to the PS1 using TR3PCPSX (another program I wrote myself, and which I haven't released to the public). As far as I'm aware, no publicly available program exists to modify tr3 psx levels. I haven't added support for them in TRMOD yet, and I don't know if I ever will. So I think that if you want to edit tr3 levels, you're first going to have to write the tools to do it. Like I did.

And speaking about the ECTS version of TR3, are you going to port that to make it playable for the PC platform as well b122251?

Huh? He specializes in porting PC TR goodies to the PS1, why would he do that? You can play the ECTS demo via any PS1 emulator tool for PC

I'm just here patiently waiting the finalization of this. Thanks for your hard work, b122251.

i dont have any bad intentions if you send me the level file i just want to help you to address the errors seeing it has been a year and still there s trouble with this level, i want to help you analize the level file to check the errors, test it in epsxe, see how the memory works but you have the last word, take the time to think about it
