Hey all. Didn't exactly where i should post this, oh well.

I really want to get into console development, specifically the PS2, but i absolutly HATE using gcc with it's command-line/make form of developing, i'd much rather use the Visual C++ IDE. So my question is can i use the Visual C++ IDE with other compilers and libraries? How would i go about setting it up? Documentation on this seems very slim for some reason but i know it's possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
