Homebrew developer Chilly Willy has released an update to the PSP build of sdlBasic, an open-source basic interpreter primarly designed for game development.

Now at version 0.7, sdlBasic for PSP utilizes Chilly’s latest SDL code for TV-out support, complete with support for resolutions up to 640×480 in size. Video settings can be accessed by holding the Triangle button while launching your application.

Thanks for this, as soon as I can grab up some component cables for my slim I will give this a run.

From what I have noticed very few programs use the full screen TV out code that is possible now.

Is it possible some sort of "frontend" program

could be developed that automatically applies the fullscreen TV out to any homebrew that is 3.XX kernel? Instead of having to incorporate that code into the homebrew itself.

Wouldn't that be cool :)

Thanks for the release Chilly Willy !!!

You can use FuSa with any homebrew that has NO TV support right now. Works just peachy. For better TV support, I've added TV support to PSPGL and SDL so that developers using those can have relatively simple and automatic TV support. For example, this app here - sdlBasic. Most of the sdlBasic examples use a 640x480 screen. On previous versions, that was scaled down to 480x272. With my new SDL code, if you select the TV in the prefs, it's scaled to the TV resolution picked (688x448 for a regular 4:3 TV not in widescreen mode). The TV prefs is part of SDL, so the programmer doesn't need to even add that to the app if they don't feel like it. It's already there - just hold the TRIANGLE button as you start. Just recompile with the new version of SDL and WHAM! TV support is there. :D
