just wondering How "with what language etc."

I am not totally sure myself but I think that most console games are done in C++ and assembly.

Hey maybe you could go here to find out more:
Its part of GameDev btw

The initial problem is getting a development kit (devkit). You can set up a homemade one for PS2, but I don''t know of anything for GameCube or X-Box yet.

Look at http://www.gbadev.org for Gameboy Advance development info.

"I am governed by none other than the Laws of the Universe."

Code for all three is typically written in C, C++, and some assembly. The XBox uses a version of DirectX, PS2 and GameCube both have their own APIs. As others have pointed out, though, to develop for any of them, you need a development kit, and there's really no way to get a hold of one unless you're developing for one of those consoles professionally, because (1) they cost more than $10,000, and (2) they won't give them to just anybody.

ok , thanks i know enough

Actually, at the last IGDA meeting I went to one of the guys from Sony was talking about the Linux kit for the PS2 as a viable option for independent developers. However from my understanding, the PS2 has a very difficult architecture to program for. Has anyone tried the Linux kit?

Hey Vash, don''t you play on Wulf''s Den FF? I''ve seen you (or someone with the identical name) play there several times before.

the nerve, Vash the Stampede is the main character of an anime show. And a cool character at that, so it''s a pretty common name.

(sorry for my post being grossly off topic, I know little of the subject and something here involved anime =)
