I understand that the psp has hardware tessellation correct?

well i havent got a notion of how to do it. I have done a search about but i cant find much on the subject.

Can anyone help me?

There's a sample in the PSPSDK that shows the use of spline-surfaces, and I think there's something for pspgl aswell.

Do u mean something like GluTess functions (given a list of countours2d, produce triangles in according with fill-rules, handling non simplicity, holes, intersections, and all other degenerations) but in hardware ? (incredible if real...)

There's only curved surface subdivision. There's no general polygon tesselation.

Eheheh ;) I see.
I've already implemented a software tesselator (like glutess one) for amanith framework, and i'm almost sure that it is impossible to do in hardware.

Yeah, I've done some myself. You could do it in hardware fairly easily if you exclude self-intersecting shapes. Then it's fairly easy, but not particularly useful, unless your hardware is specifically for rasterising 2D vector content.
