I want to start coding

[Distortional]

I have fallen in love with this console. I want to start coding for it. I have a basic understanding of basic languages out there (very basic, as in I can read http and qbasic) ... but I want to start making stuff (small programs, editing existing ones) for this lovely console.

How would I start? What do I need to know? Could I do it?

Ok downloaded it. There's not much it tells you on the site ... how do I start?

[MikeDX]

Right

run devkitpro updater

choose the parts you want (psp development)

let it run

then in your start menu you'll see devkitpro/msys

run that

navigate to /c/devkitpro/devkitpsp/psp/sdk/samples

and test out a few samples

I see, i'll have a look around. Should have done in the first place as there's tutorials up and everything. Sorry dudes.

once you are a bit more experienced, try C++ or c# to, they may be hard but are alot more powerful (IMO). if u struggle use visual C++/#

I think try lua first it is an easy code to learn at first

At the moment i've gotten into the Cygwin thing with the psptoolchain add on thing. I made a simple "Hello World" program and understand most of it.

I have learnt, programming sucks the life out of you (It's like 9:30 and I want to sleep)
and that I don't understand all the callback things? I was like wha?

I was using these tutorials here

They are good tutorials

As with any code you code in even if you fail at one part of it learn it and try it again just keep trying you will get it in the end
