okay, so ive been wondering this question for about a year
i have cyqwin and all that crap that anyone needs to compile programs for the psp
my problem is i don't know how to compile an image into the pbp itself
i know how to use i/o to read images off the memory card, i just don't know how to make it so people cannot change images within my applications or games i want to make/finish up
