I'm interested in writing a program that would alow you to run homebrew games on your PS2 that are loaded on your computer via an ethernet link. I would also like to see if I can set up a way to use the hard drive in my pc as a save card. I have lots of experience programming in VB, C++ and BASIC, some experience in Assembly (though it's been a few years) and some nicely obsolete things (Commodore. Apple II.). Please don't ask me how old I am. I was a proffesional programmer for a few years, mostly for windows but I can do Mac OS also.

My question is what languages are supported in the PS2Dev environment and if there is any code I can look at that does things with with the network connection on the PS2 ethernet or anything else any other code that might be helpful for me to see for what I want to do.

My basic idea for doing this would be some sort of program on the PS2 as a client and some sort of program on the PC as a server. If someone could point me in the right direction to get started I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Truly, everything you need is on ps2dev.org.

Why not take a look ? Source code (including everything you are looking for), compilers, utilities, etc...

you can check some project like ps2ip, ps2eth, ps2ftpd, ps2link, they are all on the cvs (cvs.ps2dev.org)
you can use c/c++ and assembler

OK! This is perfect! I'm off. I'll share what I make once I have something, but it will be a while since I've gone back to school to finish up a degree I started a few years ago, and I'm doing 19-23 credits a sem.
