I have a yaroze. The kit was rather limited and the tooling was buged out. I also got the codewarrior dev kit which helped a lot. I never got further than some simple demo hello world style applications. I was more interested in my PC at the time. I mostly used it to just play PS1 games. I basically wasted my money on it and should have just bought a normal PS.

If I remember right the thing was region free though so I could play imports. I think you could precompile apps and upload them to the yaroze web board and download them but only to other yaroze kits. I think a couple of devs actually managed to get a real shipped game out of it.

Luckily since I kept the whole lot in nice condition they are going for a decent amount on ebay. It is funny keeping the cardboard boxes makes it worth more...

I also had the PS2 kit. Which was in my opinion was more limiting than the yaroze one.

I seem to remember some later demo disc came with some yaroze games that were playable on normal PlayStations.

PlayStation Underground: Volume 1 Issue 4 came with "Gasgar vs. Gasgar" and "Super Mansion", and were behind this wonderful warning screen: https://i.imgur.com/xntzcFk.png

Some other issues of PlayStation Underground and Official PlayStation Magazine (UK) came with other Yaroze games.
