Ok, for example. Lets say I have a 2D image, fullscreen 480x272 by 24-bit in memory. What would be the most efficient way to go about getting that data on to the screen? And, for a little more advanced displaying... suppose I had several smaller images that I wanted to display on the screen in layer...

With some external hardware, you could probably do a few things. Since you can use the normal IrDA block device to talk via IrDA, simply make an IrDA device that sits atop the IR transceiver on the PSP and converts the commands into TV signals out of another IR LED. This could also open up possibly ...

Has anyone successfully gotten the ME the decode an mp3?

I've been fooling with a few methods based on the ME example, but I havent really had any luck.

Theres the source code to a remote program that works by sending specific data bytes to a UART attached to an IR LED at a certain baud rate. Its actually pretty clever. But I figure it would take hours with a scope to get the right data to do every function of a TV that way. If you do figure out how...

thats pretty much all i want it for is background music... hopefully an mp3. The decoding of the mp3 just kills the processing in the game i'm working on, so, running it on a seperate processor all together would be perfect assuming its fast enough.

maybe i'll try and get libmad to work on it

is this processor fast enough to say, play an mp3? i'm not aware of the specs on it

Maybe this will be useful for someone... unsigned long getfilesize(const char *filepath) { psp_stats pstat; sceIoGetstat(filepath,&pstat); return pstat.filesize; } ------ typedef struct { unsigned long unknown[2]; unsigne...

I'll buy one or more of the bricks if anyone is willing to sell. Let me know.

Just to point out...
In the video Dreggman posted. He's using a high res backgrounbd... but look at the menu items, how they flash and turn into a white box and such. Same problem I was having.

Although, I like the animation. lol

Ok, after about 2 days of work I got enough fat12 stuff coded to write a larger background image file to the flash. First, I went for the gold. I tried a 480x272 background. Well, it went... ok. My heart was about to jump out of my chest while it was writing to lflash, but, ok ok. Went back to the m...

If you say it's fake after seeing that, then I highly suggest you seek theropy. lol

Perfect. Exactly what i needed. Thanks!

Yes, the firmware does access by filenames. But theres no way to write to flash0 to change the background by filename. So, you have to do it by blocks by directly modifying the FAT12 partition in its raw format.

Working on a way to do a full res image... its just going to take some time.

Ok, here.. you cant get to any of these areas without the photo background being turned off (when viewing an image from the MS) Three shots of a second test of a 90x51 in areas that are pretty much impossible to fake... including one that shows theres no pics on the memory card... lol (looks a lot b...

Good work Klimru I don't understand why you have had to edit the BLOCK device though which is what is imposing your 16k limit. Why write a FAT12 driver when there is already one in the kernel? The 16k limit is the size of the cluster in the FAT12 filesystem where the 11.BMP is stored. Right before ...

Theres a link to the original image for comparison...

Well, my first full day working on this and i'm already tinkering with the flash. Anyway... few discoveries... First, its possible to change the bmps that show up for each month as a background. My first test was replacing the image with the same size and such (60x34 pixels). The result: http://www....

Finally got it to work... lol http://www.skie.net/klimbackss.jpg Maybe when i get bored i'll make a little prog to copy backgrounds from the MS... EDIT: Oh, i put it in the video section beause if you have a pic loaded with the photo viewer, and its in the background, when you go to something else (...

Are the formats for system.dreg/system.ireg known at all?

Just glancing at system.dreg, theres the string "theme_type". About all I see that could be related.

Not sure how to mod it though.

Writing a bmp to flash1:/vsh/theme/wallpaper.bmp didn't seem to work. I used the following code: #include "wallpaper.c" void writewallpaper(void) { int fd; fd = sceIoOpen("flash1:/vsh/theme/wallpaper.bmp", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0777)...

Much appreciated.

Well, the reason for making code to access FAT12 through lflash would be to basicly write to the flash0 area easily. I dont see any other way to do it, unless I'm just missing something. There is a module for the MS FAT access, but I dont see anything else for writing flash0. Has someone already wri...

Ok, so I've been fooling around with lflash and reading the forums and such. Obviously, lflash doesnt let you access the entire firmware. Well, what does? Does anyone have any ideas? I've dumped the entire lflash to a bin file on my memory stick (1.50) and mounted the partitions in linux. Pretty coo...

I was actually just working on some test code to poke around at those functions. Not quite sure what I'll end up with, though.

Thanks for the info. I've read that thread, but, I havent really found any way to use that port or the IR from within custom PSP software. What would be perfect for me would be something where I could just toggle an I/O line or the IR LED. But, I suppose that may be asking for too much. lol. I reall...

I've been looking for a way to interface the PSP to some other customer hardware of mine. I've noticed that there is a block device (irda) for the IR port (I havent fooled with it yet). Has anyone messed with it yet? Like, possibly bust out a web cam and aim it at the IR port while messing with it? ...

I'd be glad to test.

*Goes back to playing Excite Bike on 1.5 NES emu...*

Does anyone have a working example of this exploit? I saw somewhere up in the post that it was possible to call a function that put the PSP to sleep... has anyone been able to reproduce this? If so, is there any working HTML that could be posted to demonstrate? Edit: Also, I'm happy to try anything ...

Those EBOOTs public/legit/legal?

If so, where can I get them? lol
