SDL2 Example for PSP

This example demonstrates the use of SDL2 in PSP development. SDL2 provides a robust framework for managing graphics, sound, input, and more, making it a valuable tool for PSP game development.

Resources

• SDL2 is officially supported: libsdl wiki entry
• SDL2 GitHub Repository: libsdl-org/SDL2 branch

How to Build

To get started, you need to have the PSPSDK installed. Follow the instructions at PSPSDK on GitHub to install it.

Building the project is straightforward. Use the following make commands:

• make to build the project.
• make rebuild to rebuild the project.
• make clean to clean up the build files.

How to Debug on Real Hardware

For debugging on a real PSP device, follow these steps:

1. Build the project with make debug to create a debug build.
2. Utilize PSPLink to transmit your homebrew application to your PSP. PSPLink allows for real-time monitoring from your computer.
3. With the debug build, you can effectively track exceptions. The tool psp-addr2line will assist you in locating the exact source file and line number where an exception occurred.
4. Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to compile SDL2 from the source as a debug build, particularly if libSDL2d (the debug library) is missing.

This setup will provide an environment for both developing and debugging your SDL2 applications on the PSP.
