PSVita development with GLB?

Gernot, you might want to have a look at this - http://www.playstation.com/pss/developer/index_e.html

Nice!

It would be amazing if GLBasic would support it!! 
Is it C# based?  Or are other languages allowed?

I read a forum post on there from MonoGame, they are trying to get their engine to support the Vita.
http://monogame.codeplex.com/

I don't know the differences between GLBasic and MonoGame, so don't know how easy this would be.
Oh, I think I read it DOESN'T support OpenGL ES 1.1, only 2.0.
The MonoGame developer had to upgrade his SDK to support 2.0 for this reason.

I really want to buy a Vita, but just need a push, or a good reason, this would be it! ha

smells like Java from what I read in the forums.

I would be surprised if it is...  The problem is the PS Vita is rather expensive.  However, it is supposed to be selling well...

They dropped price here to 200 IIRC.

PSVita sales in Japan last week are pretty poor -

It's still early days though, but Sony needs to get developers on-board to increase the number of available games for the system.

It says here: http://www.playstation.com/pss/developer/2012GDC-PSSuiteOverview.pdf

C# as the primary programming language
Program will sit on top of a virtual machine which is supported by PS Certified Android devices and PS Vita

Ah, thats a shame!

$99 a year(again). I would imagine it use Mono underneath for the C#, below that C APIs.

I will be observing from a distance if Gernot manages to find a way to get this working. I've worked with Sony in the past, an experience I won't repeat without caution.

Hope it ends in something usable.
It seems interesting if all goes well.
