Hello World For PSP

Welcome to the PSP programing world :mrgreen:. a simple hello world is what will start you into psp programing of any kind, but i wont even touch kernel side of the force, skyend can do that if hes feeling generous

now, what we will need is a pspsdk (playstation portable software development kit).

you can either get, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. if you have linux, goto [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] they will have the latest toolchain there plus instructions.

so here we go.

first of, you should get something like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , cause it has cool syntax highlighting. or you could use regular windows notepad.

first offf, make sure you installed your pspsdk properly.

now for the fun stuff, here is main.c

Code:

/*Main.c*/
#include <pspkernel.h>
#include <pspdebug.h>
#include <pspctrl.h>

#define printf pspDebugScreenPrintf

PSP_MODULE_INFO("Hello World", 0, 1, 1);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    pspDebugScreenInit();
    printf("\n\tHello World %c!!!!!\n\n\tPress X To Exit",0x01);
    while (1)
    {
          SceCtrlData pad;

      sceCtrlReadBufferPositive(&pad, 1);

                   
                    if(pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_CROSS) {
                              pspDebugScreenClear();
                              printf("\n\n\n\tNow Exiting...");
                              sceKernelExitGame();
                              return 0;
                              }
                                   
                           
              }
              return 0;
}

Now for our makefile.

Code:

#******Makefile******
TARGET = hello
OBJS = main.o

CFLAGS = -O2 -G0 -Wall
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

LIBDIR =
LIBS = -lpspgu -lpng -lz -lm
LDFLAGS =

EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = Hello World

PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

now, put those 2 files in a folder and start cmd. now change directory to your folder and where your makefile is and type make



Happy Coding
