I�ve been studying programming for a few years now (probably only a few days worth of actual study though) and the language I am learning is Delphi (I probably should have gone with C) and have made a PONG game, I want to know if its possible to converted this to play on the PSP and if so how?

Any help would be much appreciated

Short answer: No.

Longer answer:

As I'm sure you are aware, the Delphi compiler is closed source and compiles Windows/x86 binaries only.

I believe the GNU Pascal Compiler can output MIPS binaries but as the pspSDK (unoff.) is for C, you will have to do plenty of hard work yourself.

If you have been studying for years, you should know to expect very little from Delphi but Windows apps :P

is the only difference between C, C++ and C# then way you write the code? can you use any of those to program the PSP or just C?

in the current state just C. and yes it has to deal with the way code is written. they are different languages after all. although C and C++ are pretty similar for the most part, just minor differences such as in classes and structs.

C++ works with pspsdk too. STSound YM player is partially C++.
