PSP Programming Tutorial for Windows + SDL (Without Cygwin)

[xCHRISx]

Coding is not an easy thing, its something that takes alot of time, patience, and practice. Lesson 02 - Creating Your First Program.

That link will teach you some basics on coding for the psp. But you should learn how to for pc first. C or C++. Find a c++ guide if you are really interested.

you will need a IDE like devc++ (bloodshed) to code on. Google it

I did everything look here's my source code

// Hello World - My First App for the PSP
/*
This program was created by Kevin on 03/10/09
it's a simple "hello world" application.
#include <pspkernel.h>
#include >pspdebug.h>
#define printf pspDebugScreenPrintf
/* Exit callback */
int exit_callback(int arg1, int arg2, void *common) {
sceKernelExitGame();
return 0;
}

/* Callback thread */
int CallbackThread(SceSize args, void *argp) {
int cbid;

cbid = sceKernelCreateCallback("Exit Callback", exit_callback, NULL);
sceKernelRegisterExitCallback(cbid);

sceKernelSleepThreadCB();

return 0;
}
/* Sets up the callback thread and returns its thread id */
int SetupCallbacks(void) {
int thid = 0;

thid = sceKernelCreateThread("update_thread", CallbackThread, 0x11, 0xFA0, 0, 0);
if(thid >= 0) {
sceKernelStartThread(thid, 0, 0);
}

return thid;
}
int myFunction() {
//Display 'B'
return 0;
}
int main() {
//Display 'A'
Hello world ();
//display 'C'
return 0;
}
pspDebugScreenInit();
SetupCallbacks();
printf("Hello World");
sceKernelSleepThread();
return 0;

I got confused at int myFunction() {
//Display 'B'
return 0;
}
int main() {
//Display 'A'
Hello world ();
//display 'C'
return 0; so I put display and now I saved it as main.c and switch it with main in the psp/sdk/samples/basic/controllers folder and now when I make it It never works I type makefile and doesnt work please help me code please
}

[psp_kevin17]

maybe it's because it's a txt file or something or did I code wrong

[xCHRISx]

you didnt follow the instructions. You must read carefully and be patient

//Do not put this in your program.
//It is an example.

int myFunction() {
          //Print Out 'A'
          return 0;
}
int main() {
          //Print Out 'B'
          myFunction();
          //Print Out 'C'
          return 0;
}

it clearly says do not put this in your program

[psp_kevin17]

so I take that out of my source code??

[psp_kevin17]

if I do put it in what do I put and what does it mean??

[KylBlz]

I have a problem too. Im running Windows XP SP2 [cmd ver 5.1.2600] and i get an error that says " 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file " ... why wont it work? I dont want to have to re-install cygwin on my flash drive [so i can compile at school using a series of exploits]

EDIT:: never mind, i fixed the bat file and now it works perfectly
[although a little slower than cygwin]

[xCHRISx]

glad to hear you got it. It may be slightly slower but cygwin is a huge shell and a little confusing. This was best for me.

[ricepeas]

nice i will try to make my own programs now, i was wondering how to create programs on my own and now i know thnx a lot.

[psp_kevin17]

I now how to code c++ so the int manfunction would I have to put that into my fuction that I want like int hello world or do i take it out??
