How can you tell that a homebrew app/game is made in Lua, or is made in C++ or some other form of programming language? For example, if you have a preference of running only C++ homebrew games, and not Lua homebrew games on yout PSP.

Do all Lua homebrew include the Lua logo at the beginning, and/or some sort of Lua file extention thats needed to run the app/game?

Also, is Lua Player for beginners in making homebrew, and is more limited to what you can do with it, while C++ is for advanced users and has no limit to what you can make with it?

To run a Lua App you have to have Lua Player on your PSP all Lua Programs are *.lua There is no real difference between Lua and C coded apps Lua is just an intrupter that converts the Lua code into C then into Binary

it just makes everything easier on the coder :icon_wink

Most C coded Apps are either DATA.PSP or EBOOT.PBP with no *.lua Files.

Oh okay. But if a game made in Lua has a PSP eboot as well as the required files to run, shouldn't you be able to play/run games/apps made in Lua off the Memory Stick option w/o the need of Lua Player?
