Ahh, I see.

Well, what you will be able to find over here is a collection of tools and libraries, which will allow you to code things for the playstation2. There's no "program" whatsoever, as you may think of it as a full IDE like Visual Studio. Only libraries lurking around. All of them beeing free of use.

if you have windows get the installer of ps2dev (it sets all the variable needed) plus set manually ps2sdk and good coding. it's gcc based so if you know it it must be simple

1. The stuff here is open source.
2. You can develop anything you want with it, either as a direct result of the code, or because the code enables you to add/develop any additional functionality in your own applications.
3. certain minimum requirements in experience in coding and being able to learn about embedded systems software development concepts are needed.

Go for it.

GCC is an open source C/C++ compiler.

It's what Linux uses for just about everything (never saw anyone use paid compiler on linux, but I'm sure people do it). You can also get it for Windows and other platforms, hell it works with like 30 different chip things morning groggy...

It's a code compiler, like visual studio, just no graphics interface normally. Which is fine, I swear, it's JUST a compiler, NO GUI! You get those elsewhere if you need. On windows Dev-C++ is an example of an IDE that is based on GCC, well MinGW or whatever but that's the gcc on windows.

Or you can use cygwin... but ignore me there.

OR you can listen to other people who are a little more together than this robot here.
