PSPSDK 1.0+beta released!

[mrbrown]

Release: PSPSDK 1.0+beta

From the README:

The PSP Software Development Kit (PSPSDK) is a collection of Open Source tools and libraries written for Sony's Playstation Portable (PSP) gaming console. It also includes documentation and other resources developers can use to write software for the PSP.

PSPSDK is distributed under a BSD-compatible license. See the LICENSE file for more information.

So far only the source distribution has been released. Binary packages will surface soon.

Although this isn't mentioned in the README, PSPSDK requires at least psptoolchain-20050625.

This is a BETA, so there will be bugs. Report bugs in this forum or mail them to [email protected].

Nice! It's looking great!

However, although mentioned in the README, I can't seem to find a reference to libGU in the documentation.

[TommyBear]

Thanks so much guys! Win32 installer that i made available here: http://www.tomkatgames.com/psp/setup.exe (25MB). Basically the same deal as the ps2dev kit installer

Enjoy everyone!

[Mak0]

very cool!

I cant wait to check it out :)

[TommyBear]

OMFG it's so easy to compile up PSP apps now.... lol :)

It's a beta and libGU is not available yet, it's still in development. I'm working as fast as I can damnit. ;P

[PacManFan]

Thanks for all the hard work. One thing I noticed when trying to port quake over to this is: it's missing fscanf, so I still have to include the -lc (libc.a) library and tell the linker to ignore multiple definitions.

Hey guys.... how do you actually specify the Icon that the packer uses in the make file... say ICON0.PNG?

Tommy.

[TyRaNiD]

TommyBear, all extra files for the EBOOT can be added by defining some simple parameters. For defining the ICON file add this to your makefile.

Code: Select all

PSP_EBOOT_ICON=path/to/my/picture/png

And it should pick it up. You can do the same with things like the PSAR etc.

Yeah cool thanks.... in the end I overcame my laziness and looked at the actual build.mak ;) Can someone please mirror the win32 installer? I'm getting pummeled over here by eager hordes of PSP devrs :) Or someone with access add it to the downloads for the site?

Tommy.

Can someone please mirror the win32 installer?

http://psp.jim.sh/setup.exe

Feel free to redirect your URL there, too.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll add the myriad of *scanf() functions to PSPSDK's libc for 1.0.

This is AWESOME! MrBrown, you rock!

This was not all me, there were several others involved in getting PSPSDK out the door, not to mention those who've worked on ps2sdk in the past (which some portions of PSPSDK are based upon).

Here's a short list of the PSPSDK Players (forum and IRC nickname):

• TyRaNiD

• Warren (John_K on IRC)

• adresd

• ooPo

• Oobles

• rinco

I hope that list gets much longer!

[aniasis]

Does this SDK support STL?

Great release guys. The PSPSDK is very helpful

whats the diffrence from "pspsdk 1.0+beta win32 installer" and what KAL has done a day before here:

there seems to be a possible error ?? in the start.bat.

set path to invalid directories.
path=%path%;c:\pspsdk\bin

shouldn't that be :
path=%path%;%path%\bin

[Agoln]

set path to invalid directories.
path=%path%;c:\pspsdk\bin

path=%path%;%path%\bin

No.... you are mis-understanding what a path is. Let's just say that the path is correct in that above (assuming files are put in c:\pspsdk\bin directory). a path is a place where the OS looks for executible files. Like, when you just type "copy" in dos... you dont have to do "C:\windows\system32\copy.exe" (or wherever it is located) just to access it, because it is in your path. It looks in each of those directories for a program called "copy", and if it finds it, it executes it.

[wulf]

Thanks a lot for all the hard work, people.. You are really an inspiration!

[etx]

Thanks for your hard work guys! This will help me a lot, as I've never ventured into graphics or console programming until now.

ALOGN , u insult my intelligence.... i know what path does, i feel like your trying to teach me grade one math...
maybe i wasn't clear.

if you install pspsdk1.0+ win32 the installer defaults to :
c:\program files\pspdev

inside that directory theres a file calles start.bat and the contents show :
set path=%path%;c:\pspsdk\bin

c:\pspsdk\bin does not exist.... so why am i making path = c:\pspsdk\bin

i believe this should be :
set path =c:\program files\pspdev;c:\program files\pspdev\bin

or

set path=%path%;%path%\bin

where %path% should be = c:\program files\pspdev

[TommyBear]

whats the diffrence from "pspsdk 1.0+beta win32 installer" and what KAL has done a day before here:

That's the dev kit and not the SDK. The win32 package here contains the DevKit and the SDK component built and ready to go.

set path to invalid directories.
path=%path%;c:\pspsdk\bin

shouldn't that be :
path=%path%;%path%\bin

No. The batch file temporarily sets your path to include c:\pspsdk\bin, change it to whatever you wish. %path% contains your current path settings. The line simply concatenates c:\pspsdk\bin on the end

I might put something into the installer to create the batch file.

Sorry for insulting you... didn't mean to, it's just that we have a lot of users here that don't know much....

set path =c:\program files\pspdev;c:\program files\pspdev\bin

or

set path=%path%;%path%\bin

where %path% should be = c:\program files\pspdev

Now let met explain why I said what I did, since you do know what a path is. If you:

set path =%path%;%path%\bin

Then say in your path you have:

C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile

then you are just making your path

C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile;C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile\bin

As you can see, you are just adding a \bin to the final directory of your path, which isn't really what you want to do... not to mention repeating your entire path. I havn't looked at the code myself, but I believe that if you just change that to where your bin path is, then you should be ok.

*EDIT*
You *should* be ok with doing

set path = %path%;c:\program files\pspdev;c:\program files\pspdev\bin

(not sure if they allow spaces in path names, if not, use dos's ~1 stuff)

Huh.. There is no MAKE in the win32 PSPSDK package. TommyBear can you do something ? Thx

[Guest]

Huh, "make" should be installed by Cygwin. But thats a thing commonly overlooked. Can you do something ?

[deagle]

I have installed the KaL W32 PSPtoolchain package, then the PSPSDK into the same directory and it does work very well
I can compile both the toolchain and the pspsdk samples

ahh no worries.

Then say in your path you have:

C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile

then you are just making your path

C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile;C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\;c:\someOtherPathFile\bin

ahh ok so %path% = whats already in my current "path = "
now i get it, in any case, i went to my enviroment path settings and added them manually.

would be nice to have cygwin packed with the win32 installer, so runs and compiles right out of the box. Sure it will make the package alittle bigger. But its one less step of d/l cygwin and installing it etc etc.

Kal made a nice package which i been working with. Love it. worked with no fuss (even with some sample source code, so i could go straight at it)

I love KAL's package.. great work.

and thnx to every1 else in the scene contributing.

[KaL]

I would like to download PSPSDK from the subversion repository.. but I need login/password. Where can I get it ? Thanks.
