Programming is a pretty easy concept if you think about it abstractly. I know you have a few consoles but which do you want to code for?

Well, wanted to make sure he didn't want to try coding for the PC and move to the PSP or try more than one console at a time. :)

No hate.

Well, I can code for a lot of things because C is kinda like a universal language. What do you code in to make EXE's?
And HTML won't really help you for coding for the PSP....

I'd suggest trying out LUA. It's pretty cool.

ive tried lua.

im not sure what i need to do.

plus, i want to make ones that are stand alone games.


how do i assign buttons to do things and so on? and how did you all (coders) figure it out?




my exes are little programs, such as a ps2 disc patcher, or even little things like an MMS maker. if i knew what i needed to input, i could to that.

I can tell you right now it really is pretty hard to become a coder in a few days, rather a month, to do what you're asking.
No one here can tell you how to do it, it takes time and patience.

Read up on C++ (not C) documentation on the web.

Then when you think you're ready, learn about the PSP SDK. It's a library, but the code and syntax is exactly the same.
