PSPConstructor: Create Homebrew with Ease

greg | September 8, 2009

Crack, crack, crack the egg into the bowl… Easier than baking a cake with PaRappa is creating homebrew with cbarox’s PSPConstructor.

With little or no programming knowledge you can point-and-click your way to homebrew heaven. Drag this, drop that, click, click, and compile. You just built your first homebrew app/game using the JGE++ engine.

Watch:

PSPConstructor Features:

  • This program uses Visual Studio 2008’s devenv command line to compile your game under the Visual Studio 2008 environment. It uses the JGE++ to be able to run your created game under windows first before you transfer it to the PSP. The JGE++ engine also features:
    • Hardware accelerated 2D rendering including scaling, rotations and colour blending.
    • Geometry shapes rendering, including rectangle, circle, polygons and thick lines.
    • Loading PNG, JPEG and GIF.
    • Advanced multiple emitter and key frame based particle system.
    • Bitmap fonts.
    • Stereo WAV playback.
    • Hardware MP3 decoding on PSP.
    • Port of HGE helper classes: hgeParticleSystem, hgeDistortionMesh and hgeFont.

It requires the devenv command line tools of Visual 2008. Does this mean that I have to own VS2008 or is the “express” free edition enough?

I have to admit, I’m sort of jealous for not thinking about this first.

Props dude

Sure a lot more homebrew all the same thing…This will be like visual basic 6 was for windows software. Basically a box was just created now people can say why learn how to program in C/C++ when you can just point and click.

I am teaching myself C (On Linux of course), and couldn’t be bothered to

a) Take the early stages that I’m in and apply it to the PSP

b) Learn the differences between C++ and C right now as it is enough on my hands.

And for lots of people, they can’t even grasp of programming works. So this is great for them. Do _you_ know any language?

Indeed I know C, Perl, PHP, VB, and Python. Also happy to hear more people using linux around here ^^. What I’m saying is by programming your own PSP software you have no limits to what you can do, however, this software creates those limits keeping people boxed in.

If you know JS, it’s not too far from C++

With college in the way I didn’t have time to really learn C++ AND apply it to PSP, this guy made my life 10x easier, props.

Every time I try to test my game I get the error:
Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.

I have tried reinstalling but still I get this error.
