Re: [GD-Consoles] new to console programming...

[Jeff L. <je...@da...>]

If your company is NDA'd with Sony already, you should have access to the developer's website and newsgroups.  There is quite a bit of material there covering all aspects of PS2 development.  The newsgroups are pretty active and the website has a lot of sample code and docs.  Definitely get the code off the developer website.  The demo code that comes with the system is horrible but I wouldn't let that discourage you too much.  

I doubt you will find too much on any public forums or websites.  All the material is under NDA.
