It's not going to be easy then.  The best way to do it is to ditch what you've downloaded and install Cygwin with all the developer tools, then use svn (Subversion source control) to get the latest toolchain build script and to build it that way.  The alternative, which I've never tried, is there's a Win32 build of the toolchain which will install as pure Windows programs.  Biggest problem with that is it's nowhere near as up-to-date as the inux/Cygwin version.

Cygwin's around 1Gb and the gcc downloads are another 100Mb or so.  You could try the straight Win32 version (but also expect some things not to build).

i must say im shocked at how easy that was to set up and get the examples going. im also messmerized by some of the stuff the psp can do to.

i sure am glad ive had a bit of experiance witht the ds hombrew as i already know how to youse bat/makefiles and im quite fimilar with the 3d/framebuffer stuff so i should have a couple of basic demos up and running soon again cheers jim.

is there a psp emulator so we can check out you demos without havin to shell out for the real thing? it would be nice to see what has been done for the platform

There's no emulator.  I believe the main problem being noone knows how the decrpytion hardware works - encypted code + public keys go in, decrypted code comes out, but the algorithm is unknown, so you can't emulate it.
