Creating APP.

[Bayron]

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to create an app for the PS3 with Visual Studio. For example a simple Hello World, from setting up the environment to writing the code to compiling it and creating a pkg?

I would like this to. Anyone up to making a tutorial?

im not sure this can really be done with visual studio. the toolchain is completely unix based. i suppose you could use visual studio to code, but to compile you will need mingw or similar.

there is a wealth of information on this wiki on how to install and use the toolchain and subsequent SDK (psl1ght): Main Page - PSL1GHT

something of particular interest is probably here: TutorialInstall - PSL1GHT

why do you absolutely need visual studio? its much easier to just use notepad and a unix environment.

Grab the official SDK + ProDG (includes visual studio plugin).

Because I'm used to it. But I suppose if you can't debug with it, it might indeed be pointless.

you should also know that possessing the official SDK without a developer license is illegal. not to mention, i think ProDG on works if you have a dex or cex->dex converted console.

and yea, debugging ps3 code is everything but easy, that is for sure.

Correct, test consoles aren't hard to come by though.

If you are really looking to code something up getting one will save you a world of hurt.
