No problem. Glad to see I'm not the only one who does things like that. ;)

That size. :)

Sorry, yes, I meant PS3 (though I'd be surprised if the PS2 didn't have something in the background, even the GBA has BIOS utility functions). I don't think it would affect performance much, since it would only be active when Home is pressed, and ideally it would suspend the game when it comes up, s...

Keep in mind that PSP has only 24 MB (+ 32 on 2000/3000/Go models) of user mode memory, so you can't have VSH and a game at the same time on main memory. I would love to see (or write... someday) a mod that lets you do that, though - kind of like irShell's multitasking, but instead of multiple apps...

It's not a specific PSP development specific question, but I believe Sony wouldn't respond that to me. I've noticed that some games use some tools, like the on-screen keyboard, save data utility, wireless connection interface. There's also the "home" button, that calls the menu for quitti...

I never tried SDL, but at 15fps I'd assume there's something else you're doing wrong. I'm not saying it's not SDL, but have you considered other root causes ? I've seen so many games that reload their textures at every frame, for example... I don't know how up-to-date the information was, but I've ...

You need to zero out the SceIoDirent before calling sceIoDread, otherwise it will try to dereference .d_private and die. To quote the Great Master, "D'oh!" :P Yes, that fixed it, thanks a lot. How come something this important isn't in the docs? Maybe buffer overflow. In pl2PackageIndexCr...

The program runs fine in PSPLink from host0, but when I try to run it from the MS, it crashes: Exception - Bus error (data) Thread ID - 0x044CAE05 Th Name - user_main Module ID - 0x002A3C43 Mod Name - sceSystemMemoryManager EPC - 0x8800DFDC Cause - 0x1000001C BadVAddr - 0x002A5400 St...

do I have to load an Image with an external library or is there a function included?

External library. libpng is a popular one. :)

From the error messages, it sounds like maybe a string isn't properly quoted. What's on line 105 of cversion.c?

As TyRaNiD said, running make normally will show you the commands as they are executed. You can also (with most versions) use make -n to show the commands but not execute them, and make -Bn to basically print out exactly what a shell script needs to do to perform the build.

You're on the right track. To draw the line in your example, you need something like this: typedef struct { float x, y, z; } vType; vType *vert = (vType *)sceGuGetMemory(2 * sizeof(vType)); vert[0].x = 10; vert&#91...

DirkJanssen wrote:@Criptych, thanks I was afraid of that, first look of it seems rather complex, but it will probably be not as difficult as it seems.

Shouldn't be too difficult, IIRC the important ones are fixupexports and prxgen (plus mksfo and pack-pbp, for EBOOTs).

Mon Ouïe wrote:Criptych : Are you sure that it works with the 5.50 Gen-D2 ?

Unless D3 says "D2" under System Information. ;) (Which is a possibility.)

DirkJanssen wrote:In code block I added the following values to the custom variables:

BUILD_PRX = 1

If you're not using a Makefile, these variables won't do anything, you'll have to add the appropriate post-build steps manually; check build.make (comes with the SDK) to see what they are.

How do I create a data-psar? Define PSP_EBOOT_PSAR in your Makefile as the name of the file you want stored in the PSAR section. It can be anything, really, as long as your program knows how to access it; for example, I've used zip files, and any zip library that can read SFX can then open EBOOT.PB...

I've had a related (I think) problem; putting the PSP to sleep works, but it will sometimes crash when I try to turn it back on. Interestingly, it happens with regular games, too, not just homebrew. Could this be something to do with CFW, or maybe it's just my PSP? (It has gotten dropped a few times.)

What's to update? I'm running 5.50 GEN-D2 and PSPLink works fine. (PSP-2000, PSPLink 3.0/USB, if it makes a difference.)

can a ta-85 write to battery rom? i thought there was a chart some where. I found a device online for $20 (US) that lets you convert batteries without a PSP. It's worked great for me so far (three re-flashes later... :). The website where I found it doesn't seem to carry it anymore, but you might f...

Actually, I've had the exact opposite problem before (in a C program); I kept receiving "relocation truncated to fit" linker errors until I recompiled one of the libraries with -G0. IIRC it has something to do with how data is arranged in the data segment, but I don't think it will inheren...

Very much, thanks. :D

Funny, I searched the forum several times and that thread never came up...

Is there a way to tell the AP connect dialog to automatically connect to the last used connection, like the browser does? (Without launching the browser, I mean; I've looked through the SDK docs but I don't see any other mention of it.)

It shouldn't even compile. As Draan said, CheckFileInPlace() occurs four times, each time with the same signature. Give each function a unique name (e.g. CheckXFileInPlace, CheckYFileInPlace...) or at least a unique signature (and compile as C++). Better yet, since each one basically does the same t...

I'm using the MinPSPW in it's latest release. Are you sure? "MinPSPW" has since lost the W, so maybe you're using the last release which still kept it, and not the actual latest release. I was using MinPSP(W) until recently and was able to use lv.q without error. Is there a possability to...

using "lv.q" results in: "Macro lv.q not implemented yet" I've never gotten that error before. :( Are you using an older SDK build? "r" can be used with mtv and mfv, but for lv/sv you should use "m": : "=m"(result):&q...

The problem is the ".t" suffix - lv can only take .s or .q. I did this myself a couple times. :) You have to either load the components individually with .s, or load an extra (possibly garbage) value with .q.

As far as the compiler cares, "PSP_CTRL_SELECT" is just a value; to do something with it you need to make that line into a statement. For instance: if(pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_CROSS) { pad.Buttons |= PSP_CTRL_SELECT; } Better yet, write the bits to anoth...

Okay, I understand the concept but I'd never heard that term used before. Thanks. :)

I tried to use this feature in my old yapse4psp (psx emulator) and found out it only works on save-callee registers.
