Could someone please give me all the details about making a game in C++ for psp. Someone experienced in this area would be great. The biggest things i need to know are:

1.What do i need to know? I have been learning C++ for quite some time now but im still only on console window programs. (i can only make text games) do i need to elarn sdl or anything?

2.What do i need to download?

3.which site could help me on my journey

I have been learning C++ for around 5-6 months.

I'd suggest to start off with the OSLib library, it is a nice library that you can use to create games for the PSP, without learning very advanced things like SDL, you can code both C and C++ with it, but I suggest to start off with C anyways.
You can find a PSPSDK and OSLib setup tutorial here, that site also has 8 nice tutorials to start off with OSLib

Basically, you install PSPSDK, you can then code in C/C++ for the PSP, then you probably want a simple library to display things on the screen, which is OSLib. You could however, use the same setup to code with SDL (if you install that library), or just with standard pspDebug functions, all your choice.

And if you're keen to use C++, there's something called PSPFramework that implements an easy way to use OSLib with OOP.

OSLib pwns all. However, JGE ++ is also looking nice now.

Too much OSLib fan boys here >.>,JGE!!!

But,if you start programming,its much easyer to use OSLib,thats true :P

Werll I think the most important you already did, which is learn C++ for the console, and not straight to the PSP, as iot makes life much easier for you.

Now, you can have a look into some examples you will find on the PSP SDK to see how things work.

I think you don't need to use SDL yet... At least not yet. Try so text on the PSP first, so you get used to it, then you junp to graphics.

Have you got the toolchain installed?

Cheers
