SN Systems
SN Systems is a provider of Windows development tools for games consoles, including the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP. Before it was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. it also provided tools for the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS.
Centre to the SN Systems product line is the ProDG suite, comprising a compiler and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, together with a debugger and additional build tools. SN Systems has recently started to include its own compiler (SNC) with ProDG, rather than a derivative of the compiler provided by the console manufacturer (frequently a variant of GNU Compiler Collection).
The company was founded in 1988 by directors Martin Day and Andy Beveridge[1]. Both directors have background from developing game console software development tools, such as SNASM and Psy-Q, at Cross Products and later Psygnosis.
SN Systems was acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. in 2005 to provide tools for the PlayStation 3.[2]
