[HELP] How to test your applications

Is there a way to test your newly programmed homebrew application without putting it into your psp? or to test it in PC?

I'm tired of compiling then transferring the file to the PSP just to test my app.

PSPLink is what you need, if I remember right it comes (or the source) in the sdk files.

Code: Select all

svn co svn&#58;//svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psplinkusb
pushd psplinkusb
make
make release
pushd usbhostfs_pc
make
sudo cp ./usbhostfs_pc $PSPDEV/bin/usbhostfs
popd
pushd pspsh
make
sudo cp ./pspsh $PSPDEV/bin/pspsh
popd
popd

It's part of the regular SDK/Toolchain's build script. It should already be compiled and ready when you setup your environment. (Or should have failed on Cygwin while compiling remotejoy)

You can also abstract the problem and have a library that allows you to compile the game for Linux/Windows.
JGE++ does that.

PSPLink is still useful to test performance and rendering issues on the PSP of course. But at least, you can test everything that's not "PSP specific" on your computer.

There's also a PSP emulator but last time I tried t it was too slow to do some useful testing.

Hi,

I'm using eclipse and pspsdk. All testing is done using PSPLink and it works very well. I would not do it completely on a PC as the performance on the PC could be very much missleading as well as the memory you have their available.

I would prefer PSPLink as it is easy to use and most of the time stable.
