How to use usbhostfs_pc as non-root

I had some problems on Ubuntu with running usbhostfs_pc as non-root. I searched for an answer and finally came across a solution.

1. First go to System->Administration->Users and Groups, type in your root password and you should get to a screen with all of your users.

Click on Ok and then twice on Close. Now you have to logoff and log back in for your user to be added to the new group. You can also do this with terminalcommands but quite frankly I forgot how the commands work (since I don’t add groups and users on a regular basis) and I was too lazy to find out how they work again, so that’s why I chose the GUI-approach.

How to setup the psp toolchain on ubuntu

I know that there are some guides out there how to setup the psptoolchain but when I followed them I still had problems compiling SDL programs. So here is my guide to installing the psptoolchain and psplibraries on Linux. I figured these out by myself and with the help of J.F.’ post on the ps2dev forums, so my thanks to him. I assume that you have basic shell knowledge like how to make a folder and how to change folders and stuff like that.
