| I was wondering if it is posible to port the pssdk to the psp so you can compile code on the psp. Reason i ask is because my computer broke and i would like to code in cpp but all i have is my psp. |

i thought about that along time ago...
generally speaking it is possible but probably involves porting alot of command line utilities, including bash... maybe

Turbo C works in dosbox... but seriously uclinux would probably be the only way to host gcc on the psp as I doubt anyone wants to attempt to port it to the psp kernel. |

The main issue is lack of memory. The PSP has only 32MB of ram, of which maybe 20 is usable by programs without extra effort. Add to that the lack of an MMU and virtual memory is eliminated - the conversion of uClinux to the PSP is the MMU-less version. As a result, you aren't going to get a modern compiler like gcc running on the PSP. Not enough memory.
There are some other languages you could program in on the PSP: python, LUA, Java... get one of the editors for the PSP, like vim, along with an IR keyboard, and you can do scripts in the aforementioned languages on the PSP and run them. After having done a little myself, I'd recommend python. |
