If you managed to find that site and couldn't figure out from there, then more then likely you should drop the idea.

Well ps2dev.org seems to have dozens of wikis, FAQs, forums, docs, tutorials, sample code, and a contact email.

Why you decided to post this here, I don't know.

Now get lost.

why are you picking on !hi!? This is Geek Culture which is probably the most relavent place for a thread like this. Geek Culture in The Game Creators forum.. The best place to ask how to make a game for a platform that isn't covered by any other boards...

I think what he was really asking is if anyone knew of an easier way of making them.

Interesting attitude. What if someone was looking for Dark Basic Pro on another forum and couldn't find it. TGC would be pooched if everyone took that attitude.

Its sometimes nice to help people, you know - rather than just flaming them for not knowing as much as you.. There are some very arrogant people on this forum lately.. Its becoming an unfriendly place to be.

no probs - but for reference, that wasn't just defending you.. Its also me showing that I'm getting a touch fed up with this noob-bashing attitude this forum is getting. Its becoming quite elitist.

I stand by you Nick. It is a highly immature way to act and is making you no better than the 'n00bs'.

When do you stop being a 'n00b'? When you learn! Ok it could be said these 'n00bs' need to learn to stop posting 'dum' threads like this but surely a friendly and ammicable 'You know you should post blah di blah di blah' would be more helpful and constructive in the long run? It would benefit both the forum and the poster concerned as they would know not to do it in future...


Regards,
Rich

lol.. quite the opposite!! Lol. As much as I respect the mods and their job, there is very little that would convince me to do it. Its almost a joyless job. You always have to act like the bad guy; locking people's threads, banning and n00b slapping people...

@Powersoft - its nice to see I'm not alone.

IMHO, you stop being a noob when you stop bashing them and when you start acting like a mature person with an IQ above that of a pile of cow dung (almost an insult to bacteria).

As much as this anti-noob thing was a joke, its made things a million times worse. One thing I've learned about the public is that, generally speaking, they're thick. I dont mean in a noob way, but I mean in a "I dont get what a joke is" kind of way. The public is made up of people who write in to the BBC to complain about a TV program when it would have taken an infinitley less amount of energy to either change channel or switch off the TV. The public is full of people who are itching to be on big brother; their lives are so empty and they are in such need of attention they want to publically humiliate themselves in the name of "entertainment". The public is full of people who blindly follow a group of other people who dont think about the consiquences of their actions.

This forums is meant to be a learning and helping tool. Those who dont want to help out in that way should bugger off somewhere else. There are loads of other phpBB forums which people have made. Maybe they could release their own one where they can go stew.

I still cant see what was wrong with this thread to start with. Its a genuine question.

This thread didn't seem n00btastic to me...it actually seems quite legit, no reason to be bashing him.

woot woot - I've started a revolution!! lmao.

To answer the question, I would have thought that you'd have to use something like C++ or C# along with a load of PS2 development library's, etc. Its not really feasable for a company like TGC to create an easy to use PS2 development platform because it would take about 2-3 years at least to develop it properly and in that time the PS2 would be obselete and thus their market has dissapeared. Shame really.. Its precisely the same reason that all the decent games for a platform only come out when its about to be made obselete because it actually takes that long for the professional programmers to learn how to use it themselves!

Even when the PS2 is obsolete though, if you can make your own chopshop games for it, I'd say do it. It's graphix capabilities still outweigh any recent computers, as well as space as there is no storage necessary for the games you'd play on it.

Most people require a PS2 TOOL and optional teststations to make PS2 games. PS2 TOOLs belong to Sony, and companies that go through long involved screening processes (expensive too) to become a 'certified PS2 developer' and then hey have to pay to rent a PS2 TOOL.

Then you'll probably want SNSystems tool (which I think was recently bought out) to enable you to connect to the TOOL with your PC.

I'm sure there must be other, less official ways of doing it - but that's how companies go about it. And the PS2 is an absolute pig to code for - it'll be in C++ and you'll be coding your own memory card libraries and almost everything else from scratch.

May I reccommend you look into coding for the gameboy instead?

I presume no-one bothered to search the forums, where !hi! asked more or less the same question back in January ?
