Check psplibraries out of the repo and run the libraries script. That will build and install most of the major libs, including freetype.

initExceptionHandler() is loading and starting the prx, but your module_start() is calling initExceptionHandler() making it recursive. Instead, initExceptionHandler() should be setting the exception vector, not loading the already loaded module.

Or build your toolchain in a directory in your user home... or chown the directory if not in your user home. Then you'll never need to worry about sudo again. For the last year or two, I've been using ~/Tools/pspgen as my path. Try it, you'll like it.

What I've found out so far is that the PSP do have it's own dialect of assembler. It seem not to be comparable with ix86 assembler where you accessing registers like AX, BX, ESI and all this stuff The PSP uses a MIPS 32bit processor. So in assembler program you can use all MIPS commands and more: F...

No. Cell phones running something like Android will have a minimum of 128 MB. Also, you forget that all the Phat PSPs out there only have 32 MB.

Wrong. From the Android About page: Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. The PSP's C...

Your code snippet doesn't show the double-buffering you claim to be doing, just single buffering. Please post enough of the code that we can see how your program REALLY handles the buffers.

32 bit seeking only allows for +/- 2GB seeking. With sticks out that are greater than 4GB, it's quite likely 32 bit seeking won't hack it for some things (videos, databases, etc). That's when you go to 64 bit seeking. However, for most apps, +/- 2GB is WAAAAAAAY more than they need, so 32 bit seekin...
