thnx for the reply. I believe it does support that resolution. But I do not know how to port games.. I dont even know where to start. Could you please give me some tips, link to a porting guide or something. So I can start. I understand C, but i really dont know where to begin. Or perhaps someone here can port widelands to the psp. Cheers!

How to start?
- Install the environmet: build PSPSDK under linux or sygwin.
- Start small. (Compile hello world PSP, some simple SDL demos first and make sure they work)
- Learn by example: lot's of ports are released with the PSP source code, so you can compare it to the original and see what's different....
Check this thread for one example:
