When you install cygwin and psp toolchain, can you program on the psp or are you programing on the desktop?
You normally write and compile the programs on your desktop. I'm sure there is a Lua or Basic compiler for PSP somewhere that could theoreticly be used to program directly on the PSP, but you really don't want to do that.
The PSP has a small screen and no keyboard. It makes it hard to type. After you've written your code on your computer & compiled it, you'll need to find some way to run it. There was an emulator that could run some homebrew stuff. But you'd be better off copying it to your PSP and run it there.
You know, I couldn't install the psp toolchain properly in cygwin, so I had to install ubuntu on my laptop just to be able to compile for my psp. To cut a long story short, I ended up loving ubuntu and now I've uninstalled windows from my laptop xD.
If you dont want to ditch your Windows install, but want to work with linux, try using Virtualbox to make a virtual install of linux. Then install the guest additions to allow folder sharing between the guest and host OS. I do dev work for my gumstix this way when I don't feel like loading up Ubuntu.
or VMWare Player. Also I would not recommend the Windows version of that because it gets very messy, I ended up coding it then compiling it on Linux anyway. I was using Fedora
well, I guess barcode maybe right, about chosing C language and using a desktop instead. I was hopping to avoid that. Also Fedora is another interesting language but for me far down the road, Lol! ;-) Recently I have been looking at Lua but I wonder. Thanks for the advice SMF !
