Hello everyone!

I would like to get started proggying on the PSP... Although my preferred language is C# (I know there isn't a .NET FX for PSP... right?

), I've made a few C++ apps including a hello-world type game in SDL...

C++ the "default" language on PSP, right? What are the graphics libraries and stuff? Compilers? I just wanna get back to coding...

Thanks!

Ah, the PSP can run C/C++ and ASM. To compile apps, you need the PSPSDK. I recomend looking at www.psp-programming.com and find the tutorials.

the psp can Also play Lua, but seeing as you already know C#, I suggest learning c/c++ for the psp as they are more powerfull

**Bronx** · 01-14-2007, 10:01 PM

Since you know SDL all ready, you can use the port of SDL on the PSP

**Phantom_X** · 01-14-2007, 10:01 PM

Who knows, you can the next killer homebrew app/game

**Leo28C** · 01-15-2007, 10:16 AM

LOL, I wish...

But hey, I didn't know there was a SDL port... this pwns!

Thanks!

[edit]
Running into a little problem here...

When I try to run "svn update", I get this error:

Quote:

user@comp ~/psptoolchain
$ svn update
svn: Can't parse '.svn/dir-prop-base'
svn: Malformed file

Any ideas? Here's the malformed file:

Quote:

K 10
svn:ignore
V 80
binutils-*.tar.gz
newlib-*.tar.gz
gdb-*.tar.gz
gcc-*.tar.bz2
binutils-*.tar.gz

END

Thanks!

Bad SVN installation? Try reinstalling it.

Where can I get it from? Google only has programs that use SVN, not the actual program...

Thanks!

[edit]
Nevermind, I found it... I got the last file from here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlet...st?folderID=91

I extracted the files to my Cygwin folder so that the dir structure is the same, but it still gives me the same error...

Any more ideas? Thanks!

You need to install it through cygwin I'd say. Just run the cygwin setup again and only select the SVN package

**Leo28C** · 01-15-2007, 01:45 PM

Hmmm... I did it this way, on the package selection, I unchecked the checkbox about obsolete and administrative packages, went into devel, and checked all packages starting with "subversion" to "Reinstall"... Is that it? It still doesn't work...

Thanks!

**Raphael** · 01-15-2007, 02:07 PM

Then my next best tip would be to delete the .svn directory to clean it. It should get generated again by doing
"svn co svn://svn.pspdev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain"
inside your toolchain folder

**Leo28C** · 01-16-2007, 01:28 PM

Damn, nevermind, WinZip was converting my newlines...

Thanks!
