I've always done my devving on a console and have never really ran my apps/games on a console, but I would love to see my game on a PS2 or a handheld like a PSP.
Which console do you guys recommend devving on?

Stay the fuck away from the PS2. Even commercial development on it with commercial libraries was supposed to be hell. At least the PSP homebrew SDK is workable...
Of course you really should choose the Dreamcast.

Really? I found the forums on http://dcemulation.org to be extremely helpful (and a bit more aesthetically pleasing as well :P).blackball2186 wrote:Checkout the website below, it is a great resource for anyone wanting the develop for the DC.

Re: Devvving on a Console
Is there a legal way to do homebrew cartridges for the NES or SNES?
That would be a dream.
Some way without hacking?
I realize it would probably have to be close to machine code... still.

Is it possible, definitely. Is it easy, doubtful. Is it legal, no. But what is?Benjamin100 wrote:Is there a legal way to do homebrew cartridges for the NES or SNES?

Re: Devvving on a Console
OK. I did some more reasearch on this.

It appears that it can be done legally, but probably only if you don't hack an existing cartridge.

Re: Devvving on a Console
Dreamcast and Wii are probably the easiest to dev for I'd say. Well I don't know how the wii is anymore, I know it was easy a couple of years ago.
