Noob to psp development

dev · Post by **dev** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 9:31 am

Hello (World) I have installed the toolchain with pspsdk and compiled the powersample in the samples directory. This may sound foolish to experienced psp developers here so I must apologise :) When the program compiled it gave a normal shared object and an elf file, what must be done to run this on a psp which has been modded with a pandora battery and magic memory stick? Does anyone have a Noob link?
Thanks

I don't think you'll find any noob stuff here. :)

After compiling, there should be an EBOOT.PBP file. Copy that and any other needed data files to a folder in GAME or GAME3/4/5XX to run it.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that only a shared object and elf are produced there is no PBP file?

Hmm maybe it is just a problem with that sample as I have just tried polyphonic and it produced PBP and SFO in addtion to the other files.

Go to PSP-Programming if you want some more "noob" help. They're more basic over there and focus more on EBOOTs than PRX and complex system hooks like on this forum.

Good luck and welcome to the scene!

Have a look at the difference between the makefile of the two samples you mentioned ;)

Some REALLY old samples only generated elf files as they were meant to be run under psplink. You should probably ignore the makefile of those samples and use the newer ones.
