Is it possible to make 3D games for the psp?

if so , what is the best language to use?

I saw that there is a version of opengl called pspgl....

Also, what about direct x?

Hey dude!

Learn C, first.

You can read alot of stuff online about it, so you wont even need to purchase a book. Here's a good book I got pointed to when I was starting out.
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html Once your done that, you can come ask for more. Help, Im sure there will be more tutorials about 3d on psp by the time your finished.

well you need a lot to learn first ... and directx are only for windows environment :)
Go for OpenGL ... it is portable.

I actually know c/c++ and Im thinking of learning opengl for 3d programming. Im definitely a newbie, but i know my way around somewhat.

but my question is why is there pspgl if opengl can be used?

[dot_blank]

pspgl is a port of opengl (opengl|es)
to make users who are familiar with opengl
to use for developement on a homebrew capable
psp (firmwares 1.0, 1.5 ..well ya know)

if you learn opengl then you will find pspgl
quiet similar in functions and is currently
in a some what working state ...although im
basing this on my opinion alone as i played
somewhat with pspgl yet the bugs just kept
building up so i havent played in recent times

but its a most ambitious project indeed and recommend
and in due time will have good if not great performance
