No Xbox or console stuff, yes to sending an email.

That's some neet code Warner :) I hope you get it to work :) So what software/mod would you recomend to make a game for your PS2 or Xbox original???

If you want to start developing for consoles then your best bet will be to take up C++ Also you will have to pay the console companies for licences to develop on thier systems and that can be quite pricey.

For Xbox development you can use XNA - but you will still need to have a good grounding in C++. For the other consoles you will need to license the SDK which usually means purchasing developer versions of the console platform too which isn't cheap.

I do have a good grounding in C++, but I though XNA was only for Xbox360??

XNA is for the 360 or the PC.

xna is c# not c++, there is a project at jandscreations for xna.

..or you could just take a look at Elemental 2 engine, whats running on pretty much every single console out there..and its free with editors, and so on..oh yea..fully scriptable with LUA :)

mtnhome3d (Posted 2008) [#13]

hey naughty, i looked for that engine and couldn't find it any where for download. lots of forum posts about games made with it but no engine or homepage for the project. where is it?

Naughty Alien (Posted 2008) [#14]

..you have to register as a developer(its free) and then you will get access to SVN, editors, Luad debugger/Editor and so on...engine rulez man..no need to touch any C++, everything doable from LUA...and its running just fine..I have compiled hello world to my PSP :) works like a charm... :) here is web site...register as a developer and enter this juicy world :) http://www.phatyaffle.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=91&Itemid=110
