I got the SDK installed in Cygwin succesfully and got sdktest to compile... successfully. But it doesn't run on PSPE, is it just because PSPE is crappy or is there something wrong.

Note: I don't have a PSP currently, I had to send it back to Sony for exchange.

Shapyi,

Most likely the cause is that there's no .png file in the .pbp file.

I've just found this, and am attempting to put a png into the file using an unpacker.

No, I put a PNG in for an ICON0.PNG, but it doesn't run...

Shapyi,

Ok, I put a ICON0.PNG into the pbp, but can now tell you it won't work on pspe, but does run on real hardware 1.5.

an -march=r6000 as compiler flag takes care of this problem, it will then run in the emulator.

I get the following stderr.txt when I try to run the sample app under PSPE (with march=r6000 as a compiler flag). Any ideas?

where should I put -march=r6000 in the makefile? I tried a few places I thought it should go, and sdktest won't run in PSPE still.

yea, that's where I put it, but I don't even get that error, nothing changes at all.

Is that no one can solve this problem???? I really need to run my program on emu first in order to debug it and I need SDK to use float and cpp.

No. The developers of PSPSDK do not support PSPE and never will. The reasons have been outlined in various other posts regarding PSPE (and on IRC). Basically it boils down to:

PSPE is very rarely updated, so it cannot stay abreast of all of the latest and greatest developments.
PSPE is not Open Source, so there is no way for anyone to improve it to make it compatible with PSPSDK.
PSPE doesn't come close to emulating a real PSP. The developers only care about PSPSDK working on a real PSP.
PSPE just plain sucks as an emulator.

I hope this clears things up.
