Item description:

The 'long-time' developers would distinctly remember downloading a file from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . Popularly known as a toolchain, it was an automated script which you ran in Cygwin or a Linux distribution to download, compile and set up the C/C++ compiler and the environment. If you want a bit of a history lesson, it was possible to make applications for the PSP even before the toolchain came out. But once the whole process of setting up the compiler was handled by the toolchain, it became a lot more easier to make applications for the PSP. So why am I talking about it here and right now? ooPo, the guy who maintained the toolchain, recently reveiled that his bandwidth utilisation had suddenly jumped up. Now I don't know if it was due to the recent 'Want to be a Developer?' article or our announcement of the Summer Homebrew Competition, but suffice to say that ooPo couldn't manage to give out all that extra bandwidth. And he also reveiled that it was because of what I'd call bandwidth spamming. A few people downloaded the toolchain repeatedly, increasing his bandwidth costs. A few guys even downloaded it about 15-20 times. And ooPo couldn't take it. Not to worry though, it's still available. The toolchain has been moved/merged with the ps2dev server (www.ps2dev.org). You can download it from its new home, or from the mirror below.
