hey guys! im looking to start development for the psp. homebrew and all. i know alittle C# but. and a tiny bit of C. and i have dabbled in some LUA before but not much. im just wondering where to start and all. do you have any sites you recommend? im on a windows XP system ATM. and would like to be programing on this because my linux box needs a new power supply. just wondering where to start. thanks

I recommend learning a little more LUA if your not that great in it, a lot of homebrew is made by it


Not sure how reliable it is but it has homebrew tutorials PSP-Programming.com

I want to learn C and then look into LUA. I know Java.... Dunno if it'll make it easier! can anyone suggest a good site for C? keep in mind I will be starting from scratch

If you go to C first I would stay with it. C is better than LUA, I still am going to stay with LUA. I may move to C one day, but that will be for the PC not the PSP.

If you already KNOW Java, it would most likely be easier to learn C++, as this is an object oriented language, like Java.

I find every C++ tutorial the same, Im alright with C++ in every tutorial until i hit pointers, which makes me give up.

i have a (stupid) question. i have microsoft visual studio 2008. and you guys said that you can do psp development in C++? is there a way i can develop for the PSP in visual studio? because every time i try to set up the PSPSDK. i get about 6 hours into it and it fails for a random reason... :scared:

I think , it is a good idea to develop under the Linux OS or cygwin on windows.
Google for "psp development" for more info.
