Help needed with PSP programming

[Jimbo]

Hi, I am new to PSP programming and I am trying to get together the tools that I need to create my first PSP application.

I installed cygwin and the psptoolchain as per the instructions on scriptscribbler.com

I then tried compiling a hello world program from the same site. The program compiles and generates a EBOOT.PBP file.

I then tried to run this file using PSPE but it wouldn't run. What am I doing wrong.

What is the recommended way of creating PSP programs?
What emulator can I use to test my programs?

Any hints and tips would be great. Thanks All!

...why don't you run it on your PSP?

I can't afford a PSP yet. :) I would still like to get involved with making programs until I can get my hands on a PSP though.

There are loads of homebrew games out there that will run on PSP3. I was wondering what is wrong with the way I am compiling?

What tools do you use for compiling? I would really appreciate any advice that people could give. If anyone could help or give any advice on compiling PSP programs to run on PSPE (or any other emulator that may exist), I would be very grateful.
