Heres the details:

Hi all,
I would like to share my Allegro PSP WIP :)
A simple graphic driver and the a mini keyboard driver using the PSP controller are implemented by now. It compiles and links with success some Allegro examples and the excellent Humphrey remake (the main reason for converting the library :P )

Two Allegro examples:

I don't really understand what this is?

It's a graphic library used for rendering images etc.

Think SDL, similar thing.

Basically people would use this in the creation of a game or application.

Ah, thanks for the info man!

Allegro is a C++ Game development libray for PC. Nice to see a PSP port of it! I use this on Dev C++ my favourite lib :)
