RPG Maker for PlayStation 1 (PS1/PSX) Tips

If you are planning to emulate a PS1 using something like DuckStation or
PCSXR, set Controller 1 to use "Digital" controls instead of "Analog";
otherwise, the DPad and/or Analog stick may not work while in the 
"RPG Maker" menu.

To more easily draw sprites and other resources, set Controller 2 to
be a "PlayStation Mouse." However, mouse speeds are not smooth. To deal
with this, try one of the following...

    A. Change the screen resolution to that of what an actual PS1 would
       expect and set the emulator to be full-screen.
    
    B. Change the mouse movement speed.

If you are a bit more artistic than most and have limited on USB ports, 
you could set Controller 1 to use a keyboard and have Controller 2 set 
to a "PlayStation Mouse," except perhaps instead of a mouse, try a 
drawing tablet if you can properly set it up for tablet touch as a
left-click and some other button as a right-click, which is often used
as the color "eye-dropper" for drawing canvas areas.
