There isn't anything specifically for the PS2. All you can do is take an IDE like Bloodshed and then alter the settings to use the ps2sdk and toolchain. Other IDEs that people use in the same manner are Code::Blocks and Eclipse. Some people use Visual Studio for editing, then run the toolchain from a command line to compile.

Ok how would i change the settings to make devc work with ps2 code?

I chaged the setting and installed the ps2toolchain. But when I go to compile a sample it gives me this error
cc1.exe K:\Dev-Cpp\ps2dev\ps2sdk\samples\teapot\cc1.exe unrecognized command line option "-lang-c"

I chaged some settings and now it tells me
y:\drive\k\Dev-Cpp\Bin\iop-ld cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory.

Just search for "bloodshed". You'll find some threads on it. Even when they apply to the psp toolchain, the same procedures can be used for the ps2.

Same for the other IDEs. There are threads on using them for ps2/psp here.

To speak from my experience, the best solution on Windows is to set up a Linux VM and use the Eclipse IDE. Of course, Eclipse is also available on Windows, but the whole process of PS2 toolchain building and integration is less error-prone on Linux.
