Libs for making simple arcade game

Hi, All.

I've built recently ps2sdk. But it is very hard to decide what way to choose to program graphics, sound and input.

Use the only ps2sdk and dig in sdk's samples?
Or install other libraries from svn such as gsKit or ported SDL?

Can you advice me something?
I want to make some simple 2D arcade game (like space invaders or smth like that)

I'd recommend SDL for a simple 2D such as space invaders.

If I were you, I'd code the entire game on PC and just port it over the PS2, which shouldn't be too difficult. This would also speed up the development time of you game, as uploading a program to the PS2 over PS2Link takes alot longer than just executing a program on your PC :-)
