yeah all you need is c but c++ is better. i personally thinks its good to look at the turnip blackadder game as its source and the elf in the ps2dis is extremely well documented and labeled so i have found it good for learning. it would be also helpful i think if you were to look at any demos/games in the ps2dis as it gives you a feel for the mips code aswell. theres lots of good tutorials out there and you may want to get a linux box as it is faster than using cygwin and you get a lot of errors with cygwin with the toolchain

Judging from some various hints and cues from you limited words, I'd honestly say that right now, very possibly not.

You need a solid understanding of c/c++ and of programming in general. Having used a gcc based toolchain before also helps a lot.

As a general rule, whatever it is you want to write on PS2, you should be confident in being able to write it on a PC.
