ELF or PBP

Post by kinsemc »

Hey I just got the pspsdk and toolchain working and I went to compile some samples as a test. While I was expecting to get a EBOOT.pbp I ended up with a .elf file. Is that what i should be getting or is there perhaps a problem converting the elf to an eboot
Thanks in advance

a pbp file is a form of compression. the elf is the executable file. its like in java. when you compile your code you usually get a bunch of class files and maybe some images, and it gets converted into a .jar file. so yes you want a elf file. but if you want to run it on your psp you will need to download the pbp packer.

You can also do a "make kxploit". You'll get both directories and the EBOOT.PBP files you need to drop into the GAME directory on your PSP (assuming you need them cause you're running 1.5 anyway, hehe).
