I am new to C programming and making games and apps for the PSP. And I was wondering what the best thing to use is? I already successfully downloaded Cygwin and psptoolchain, but I was wondering what is the best and what people prefer?

Thanks.

Out of those two, cygwin.

Best to use the toolchain on a mac or linux. It is faster.

**Mazor55** · 08-08-2007, 10:37 AM

I'd go with Linux + toolchain, but if you aren't going to consider installing a new OS then go for cygwin.

**MaTiAz** · 08-08-2007, 12:36 PM

You know, psptoolchain will be done in like 20 minutes on Linux instead of the hours you spend running it on Cygwin

So, Linux + toolchain. Besides, isn't pspdev supposed to be installed on cygwin? Cygwin on its own doesn't do much.

**SWE_PsYcHo** · 08-08-2007, 12:38 PM

it should be devkitpro against cygwin, devkitpro is more up to date but still id go with cygwin its worth those hours if you dont wanna get linux
