Hi guys,

I was wondering something about programing homebrew for the PSP. Now I know there is two ways, either LUA or C/C++. I do not think I would ever want to go and learn LUA.

My question though is about C++, to code for the PSP I would need to know GUI C++ I believe correct or am I missing the picture here. I finished basic C++ in high school and will go into some advanced next year hopefully. But to code for the PSP I would need to know GUI correct?

Functions are completely different. I would recommend C because most of the Libs are coded in C

Do you know that GUI isn't a language? It stands for Graphical User Interface and is just the looks of your program (eg. a menu ect.). If you just want to know how to do a simple GUI i recommend checking out yeldarbs tutorial on blit'ing images. And yes, there are some differences in writing a program for the psp eg. printf = pspDebugScreenPrintf ect.

Yeah cool guys and thanks for the site! As for coding in C I am cool with that since my teacher was teaching us both C and C++ together so it is not like I am noob to C lol, no I just like how C++ is easier in a way! but yeah I could code in C as well! Also I know GUi is not a language what I do not know is how to write programs so they look like homebrew or an OS, the GUI part lol! That is the issue I have! I only studied basic C++!
