I've always got very good support in this community and I guess it's time to give something back ;o)
I've seen that there are very often always the same steps needed to get started with a homebrew...As I'm using objec oriented C to develop I've created a "hombrew common" library which provides base classes doing most of the initialization stuff which from my point of view is common to the most homebrews. It's my first "release" and I would still see myself as newbie - so if you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to provide valuable feedback :o)
Hope you enjoy
However, enough words...
Here is the link to the library and header files:
http://psp.anmabagima.de/__oneclick_upl ... common.zip
The library was created using eclipse and minimalist PSPSDK on windows. I'm not sure if it works with cygwin as well.
To use this you could simply extract the zip file to the pspsdk folder:
x:\pspsdk\psp\sdk\
To give you in addition a sample how to use eg. the 3dHomebrew base class for your GU applications please have a look at the following code:
