Just wondered if anybody here had any experience of "homebrew" applications/games etc. for video games consoles in C / C++

Seems to be a big dev community for the PSP and other handheld devices at the moment, probably because the V1.5 hardware is unlocked.

Not something I have had time to do, but would really like to have a go! Has anybody done anything similair?

If you have a sony, nintendo, or microsoft licensce you can use CodeWarrior. There are versions specificly for programming on that platform.

I've never programmed any games with C++, nor have I met anyone who does it. I can't fathom how hard it is to program for consoles with C++, just making simple programs is hard for me.

To know how to program with the consol system could get making big money.

Good to know I am not alone learning C++ from the beginning.

People must use programs in conjunction with C++ to make video games, I've seen the code for a 3d image with C++, and it is complicated. I just don't know how they do it.

Most comapnies build "engines" and then build the games with that engine.

Where are the PSP communities at?

For video game consoles you would probably have to ask the company that made the console for a developers kit.

Someplace you should check out is http://sourceforge.net. It's an opensource repository that has a lot of stuff in it, including games. It'll give you a chance to see how games were developed.
