Protomank, Did you had time to update the SDL lib on the SVN repository? Will you amends give a general boost of performances when using SDL on the PS2? That would be great :) I have installed the ps2 SDL port a long time ago, and don't really know how to update it... Should I just delete all doc re...

Thank you for your advices, i tried the demo 1888, but still no luck...
Same error :(

When I load my project .elf file into Pcsx2 0.9.6 I get this message:

vtlb miss : addr 0x8, mode 0

Is there a workaround for this or does this just mean the emulator is just not compatible with my homebrew?

Thank you Yoshi,

to take adavantage of those updates, what do I have to do?

Compile usbhdfsd.irx using the latest SVN sources, and compile again my project?

Cheers

I haven't paid attention to SVN for a few months, but when I browsed a few day ago, updates were mentioned regarding USB fixes... I experience random screen freezes when accessing to the USB mass, any luck those issues might be fixed by now? What were the other big changes in the SVN in last couples...

Yeah, all performed from a regular Playstation 2.

I've published on Vimeo a video report of my last live visuals performance in mid March 2009. Music is performed by Skream & Benga, headlines of dubstep music. All visuals are mixed on my PS2 homebrew "PS24VJ". No laptop is involved during the performance. http://www.pikilipita.com/for...

Just wondering if the SDL_gfx lib is available?

So I could use it to resize SDL surfaces

Oh my god!

That's gonna be tough job to write bymyself code to sort it by alphabetical order...

Thanks for your quick reply

Hi, I am using the fioDread to scan and display the content of a folder from an USB drive. But it looks like fioDread sort files by date, and I wish it could sort files by alphabetical order. Is there a way to do it? this is the code I'm using: while (fioDread(ret, &record&#4...

I downloaded the latest version of gskit from the svn. I compiled and installed the gsKit lib I downloaded the latest version of SDL from the svn. on the file sdl/src/video/ps2sdk/SDL_ps2video.c, I replaced the region checking system code by just: gsGlobal = gsKit_init_global(); I co...

Cosmito, I would like to know how you force PAL signal in your Doom port.
You didn't explain how you mad it and unfortunately your Doom source file does no longer exists.

Sharing your PAL fix would be very helpful :)

Thanks for your lights. Unfortunately you don't seem to have a solution for me :( I believe cosmito fixed that issue in the SDL Doom port: I also added the option to force a specific display mode (PAL or NTSC) for whom needs it - So just rename the DOOM.ELF to something ending with PAL or NTSC at th...

I have 2 playstation 2 slim (a black and a pink one) they both PAL, but on the pink one, my homebrew using SDL make the console to switch ot NTSC signal... How can I force the console to stay in PAL mode? This is how I initialize the SDL: /* Initialize SDL */ if ( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_V...

I'm wondering how not to pause the execution of the program while loading file on the USB stick so I could animate my loading screens, as most games do...
Any hint?

I'm chasing a memory leak in my homebrew project... I'm using this read directory code from the ogg player example... filenames_t* readDirectory (char* directory) { int ret=-1; int n_dir=0; int n_reg=0; fio_dirent_t record; char** filename_array =NULL; int i =0; filenames_t*...

Unstead of burning CDs, you can copy your homebrews to a USB pen since swap magic has acces to the USB port of the PS2.

And finally, a photo of my last week live set :

Glade festival / Overkill stage

I've performed 3 sets of visuals with my PS2 last week at the Glade festival in UK, it was great! (apart from freezes every 15 minutes) I've worked a lot on my project sine my last post. An updated screenshot of the application: http://pikilipita.com/vj/images/ps24vj-02.jpg And a video of the softwa...

The main loop fo my program is looking something like this: while (1) { renderOneFrame(); gotoNextFrame(); /* execute render queue */ gsKit_queue_exec(gsGlobal); /* vsync and flip buffer */ gsKit_sync_flip(gsGlobal&...

Thanks, Lukasz, I've found my error in those examples: You need to have 2 padBuf, so the code has to be: static char *padBuf[2]; padBuf[0] = memalign(64, 256); padBuf[1] = memalign(64, 256); ... int port = 0; // 0 -> Con...

I'd like to add a 2 players feature in my project, but can't succesfully receive data from the second controler. I init my pads with this: int port = 0; // 0 -> Connector 1, 1 -> Connector 2 int slot = 0; // Always zero if not using multitap if((ret = padPortOpen(port, slot, ...

Just tried the oggplayerbeta01 and it works :)

I'll try to investigate its source now.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to read directories on a usb stick. I'm using the usb_mass example, the moduels are said to be correctly loaded, but... the function: listDirectory("/"); void listDirectory(char* path) { int ret; fat_dir_record record; int counter = ...

Thanks Lukasz, the loading is much faster now! But loading the complete file in one time freezes the whole software for a few seconds (as seen in the new video). I'm considering loading files in 5 or 10 parts. The project is going really well, almost ready for a gig. a new screenshot: http://pikilip...

Yeah, I thought about this solution but didn't liked the idea of having a buffer between 1 to 3 megs, but I guess I'll have to do it anyway. What the function to know the size of a file? The project is going pretty well, my last bug issue is I can't find a way to display and browse my USB stick fold...

I've been working for a few weeks now on a project about mixing video loops via the playstation 2. So far, just the very basic function is completed: loading and displaying 4 video loops. Files are loaded from the USB storage, and it's very slow, I need to investigate into it! a screenshot: http://p...

Yes! I've been able to display my picture (actually a video) correctly ! In case someone is facing the same kind of issue, here's my method: so the picture to be displayed is 320x240 pixel 15bits depth. I've splitted it into two gsKit_prim_sprite_texture next to each other. first one is 256x256 , TB...

Thanks for your help,
I'm currently trying to change the texture size, and try different value for TBW.

By the way, "fb[0].TBW =4;" what is this setting for ?
