I was wondering what are the things i'd need (programs, tools etc..) to start making some simple homebrew for the PSP. Thanks.

The first thing you really need to do is to learn(or master if you can) the C programming language as most PSP programs are written in C.

After that take the PSP programing tutorials at http://www.psp-programming.com/, they will tell you how to set up the development environment and build simple homebrews app.

Thats all for you.

If you're new to programming, I suggest you start on the PC. It's orders of magnitude easier to deal with an easily debuggable environment that doesn't crash horribly if you do something wrong.

Once you're comfortable enough with programming in general, it makes sense to move on to embedded/handheld platforms like the PSP.

That, or just learn lua and play around with that.

Why don't you just do what it says, and set the PSPDEV environment variable? I'm sure it's mentioned before you run the script in a readme.

I'm not to sure how to do it in cygwin, however, I know in bash shell you'd type EXPORT PSPDEV = (path).

Under cygwin, it should be something like "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev" IIRC.

Change your .bat file to the following according to your path.
Code:
@echo off

F:
chdir F:\cygwin2\bin

set PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev
set PATH=%path%;F:/cygwin2/usr/local/pspdev/bin


bash --login -i

Make sure PSPDEV stays like that, just change the PATH and the chdir and F: accordingly.
