It is helpful to me to start a brand new project understanding everyting I will need... a list of hardware & software... etc...

I'm totally new to PSP development so please help me complete this list of items and sources...

Hardware:
PC (for creating the source code & compiling... I guess??)
PSP (for testing the compiled program)
Question: Any hardware emulators or such tools to speed development and debugging?

Software:
Software Development Kit (SDK)
Which includes... (I'm guessing here so please assist me)
... Editor
... Compiler
... Debug software
PSP Emulation software to run on PC (is there any?)

Process:
1 - Create source code on PC
2 - Step through code using the Debug tool
3 - Compile the code
4 - copy to memory stick
5 - put memory stick in PSP
6 - See if it works

I'm sure I have a lot of this wrong and the list is incomplete. It would be very helpful to me if anyone would be kind enough to correct and complete the list and the process. Other's new to PSP development may also find this helpful.

Thanks for any help.

There are no hardware emulators.
The SDK is a compiler and related libraries and documentation.
There are tutorials on the web for developing for the PSP if you want a step-by-step process.

Incase you didn't already know you need a PSP either running a very old firmware version or a non-official firmware, typically you can't just walk into a shop and buy one of these.

But, of course any PSP that you walk into a shop & buy today can easily be converted. That won't hold true forever, though.
