Hello. Today I learned how to do something that is very nice and useful. I learned how use GL when compiling anything (Quake for example) for the psp. it is very useful for anyone working with PSP Quake. Step 1.
Make sure you can compile for the PSP if not go to this link and follow the tutorial.

Step 2.
Launch Cygwin and type this in:
svn co svn://svn.pspdev.org/psp/trunk/pspgl
When it finishs move onto Step 3.
Step 3.
Type this:
cd pspgl
Step 4.

When it finishes move onto Step 5.
Step 5.
Type make install

Sounds cool. It doesn't worry me a little that PSPGL might not be totally "OpenGL" compatible. I wonder about the performance differences between it and PSPGU (the native PSP 3D API for those that do not know). Either way this is great information to have available. Thanks!

PSPGL is just a wrapper that calls the same functions PSPGU does. It's for the ease of programmers that are more familiar with OpenGL than the PSP's GU.

I'm probably asking a dumb question, But How Do I tie this in with kurok? And Can I add hlbsp to the psp engine after I do this tutorial?

There's no reason to use this unless you have prior OpenGL experience and are too lazy to learn PSPGU. And you clearly have zero experience.

hlbsp has absolutely nothing to do with the rendering API chosen, you can add it right now if you want. _________________ DirectQ Engine - New release 1.8.666a, 9th August 2010 MHQuake Blog (General) Direct3D 8 Quake Engines

Most graphics tutorials don't directly translate to the PSP very well due to hardware contraints and working within a framework of memory limitations.

If you want to have the most optimal experience with HLBSP on the PSP, you must: 1) Upload them as 8 BPP instead of 32 (Baker's tutorial does 32) 2) Compress them to one of the DXT formats upon loading them.

Hmm, Well that's one step closer to Getting hlbsp I guess. And I do have 0 experience, But I'm willing to learn. I am not a lazy modder, If I need to do something, I will get up and do it. So I am gonna try my best to mod the kurok engine a bit. And Baker, Whatever happened to that awesome PSP engine you were working on that Combined all the engines?

Time limitations mostly. From February until about a week ago, I had very little free time and the quality was low. This week was different and I got to actually do some stuff for a change
Maybe the trend will continue, I hope so ...
