maybe you should start off with writting simple pc programs then. try gamedev.net. getting the hello world code to compile is actually quite simple.

Seriously, if you don't know languages or editors, PSPdev or PS2dev is not the place for you to be learning.

Like Thanhda said, start on the PC. Go pick up a book for learning, whether using GCC tools on Linux, or Visual tools on PC. With respect to the Visual tools, once you learn those and how to program, still go back to learning the GCC tools on Linux, since thats what you will need to use for PSP programming.

*THEN* you are in a beginning position to do hello world on PSP. But there's a ton more to learn than that if you want to do anything useful or gratifying.

I know program launguges but im not sure how to get the PSP tool chain to work with the hello world source. I cant even get it to load teh source without returning me in lots of errors. I know VB(pretty advance) and C++(moderate). I have some knowledge in slackware.

honestly pick up some books in linux, and gcc. this will really help trust me. when i first started doing some programming for ps2, i really found knowing how linux works, and command base compiles such as gcc really helped. it will give you a basic understanding on whats going on. its like if someone wanted to make a oo framework game in c++, and didnt know what classes were would be definetly loss. if you dont have the $$ to spend on books, you should definetly check out gamedev.net, lots of start up tutorials there.

Ok Well I found the Win32 compiler and it makes more sence to me but do I just make the game in a C compiler and then have it comvert it to a PBP file. I was messing around with the hello world file and thats what I did. Well Im gonna pick up a C book(Can it be C++ booK) and learn that then check out PSP devices and such... Well thanks for your help.
