This recipe demonstrates how to install the PlayStation Mobile SDK.
First you need to download the PlayStation Mobile SDK; you can download it from http://bit.ly/W8rhhx.
Locate the installation file you downloaded earlier and double-click to launch the installer. Say yes to any security related questions.
Take the default settings when prompting, making sure to install the runtimes and
GTK#libraries.The installer for the Vita drivers will now launch. There is no harm in installing them even if you do not have a Vita:
Installation is now complete; a browser window with the current release notes will open.
The SDK is now installed on your machines. Assuming you used default directories, the SDK will be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\SCE\PSM if you are running 64 bit Windows, or to C:\Program Files\SCE\PSM if you are running 32 bit Windows. Additionally all of the documentation and samples have been installed under the Public account, located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\PSM
.
There are a number of samples available in the samples directory and you should certainly take a moment to check them out. They range in complexity from simple Hello World applications, up to a full blown 3rd person 3D role playing game (RPG). They are, however, often documented in Japanese and often rely on other samples, making learning from them a frustrating experience at times, at least, for those of us who do not understand Japanese!
