Not sure if this is what you're doing (am unable to fire up my ps2 to check error codes at the moment) but are you using 'host' on the ps2client commandline?

ps2client execee host:myelf.elf
is what works.. obviously add the ip address for your particular setup..

Random bugs that are there one minute and gone the next are always (in my experience) one of two things: * Timing issues and/or race conditions. However since were arent running smp (unless your using the ME in which case you're on your own! :) and not in a preemptive environment, we can pretty much...

question: what is it exactly that the pro members are paying for? It seems that the faq seems to hint that it is for quick response from the team, extended support and early access to beta builds. Yet at the top of the page it looks like there are two options: either the free crippled 'lite' version...

Homebrew games: yeah, just run them off the 'host:' device from the pc you're using as a server. Commercial games: not that i know of. In any case, running these of anything other than the original cd/dvd is: {too much of a grey area/too ripe for abuse/just not done here} and as such is not supporte...

Whilst I can't say for sure, but it sounds like he is correct (and this is indeed how it works on ps2).. I would imagine a function sceGuCopyImage() would only copy an image.. ie blit it straight into vram. If you choose to copy it into a screen buffer then it's not suprising that there's no blendin...

sceIoWrite(fd,"ms0:/version.txt", 256); is trying to write 256 letters of the string "ms0:/version.txt", to the file pointed to by fd, ie flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt. Maybe it's lucky that you opened it read only then?? :) if you just want to copy it ts ms:/xxxx then: sceIoWrite(...

With the sony ps2linux kit, the RTE dvd boots the linux kernel off the memory card. You can change the configuration file to have it boot something else instead. This usually is a program called reload which 'reloads' the ps2 kernel from ROM (since the RTE has cleared it out previously) and then can...

Since you love lua as you state, and are posting in the lua forums, I am making the assumption that you wish to begin coding in lua. Question: Why do you even need the toolchain, sdk, etc? Lua is a scripted language, so you can grab the binary luaplayer from somewhere, write your scripts in notepad ...

You pretty much got it. When gcc sees you passing floats to a function expecting ints, it automatically does the conversion. For example 5.0f -> 5 which have different binary representations. I usually keep several pointers of differing types to the same array/packet usually 32/64/128bit and floats ...

I think it might have been me who said that on IRC... I probably should elaborate. What I meant by it, is that the system.cnf exploit is redundant: if you can get the ps2 to read a hacked system.cnf off a CD, then you have no use for the exploit since you can already read burnt cd's, so I do not see...

Well I for one voted definately on the ps2 side of things. I think it would be neat if folks just popped a quick post along with their vote so we can all get a guage of who's doing what. There are a few names that keep popping up on the forums and I'd be very interested to see what sort of stuff the...

Is there a tilme stamp register on R5900 processor ? I have tried the classical mips instruction: __asm__ __volatile__("mfc0 %0,$9; nop" : "=r" (dest)) but I get only an illgal instruction. I dont have the Instruction set manual. Can someone help me ? There are other threads tha...

I wonder if commercial games really use the ME as a second processor or if it's just preprogrammed by SONY with decompression & video routines and so on they can use... From what i've heard, commercial devs cannot run their own code on the ME at all. There presumably routines in the firmware/li...

Fiki wrote:Also, does anyone know how to shutdown the server from the console? I tried CTRL+Z but when I tried to restart the server later, it told me that the port was in use.

CTRL-Z will only suspend the process and return you to the prompt, so the server isnt shutdown, only paused. CTRL-C will shut it down.

Its definately not worth doing every frame. You are MUCH better off doing only once during init and from then on in incrementing by 1/60* sec every frame, or maybe even using the performance timers to interrupt every so often so you can update the time. Keep in mind that interrupts can suck on perfo...

Whilst I agree that it is probably easier (for me anyway) to torrent stuff to pc then usb or wifi it to my psp, and am uninformed as to how torrent apps actually do their disc access, i AM wondering why people keep discounting psp-torrent's feasablilty because of speed? Now i know that 'net access h...

Its exactly the same as for cygwin, except for the parts about installing cygwin :) The toolchain was developed under a *nix environment, so linux is actually more native to it than windows/cygwin. Just make sure SVN is installed and svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain will ge...

Ok, I'm going to grab all files from svn, compile and install. What's the difference between both? Sorry if it's a stupid question. The ones on your pc are built for a pc environment (ie compiled for x86 or whatever your desktop is), the ones in svn have been ported so as to work on psp's processor...

yea i run ver 1.51 and i use that method Ok, well there's your problem. kxploit works on 1.5 which could also be written as 1.50, which is NOT the same as 1.51. This is newer and sony has since fixed this. Homebrew is impossible (AFAIK) on 1.51. You do however, have an option: find an upgrader to v...

trowanate did you kxploit the homebrew? This means since you have version 1.5 you have to use the kxploit method. Basically, if you have to copy two directories onto your memcard (NAME and NAME% obviously NAME can be anything) then it should work. If you are just copying a single eboot file to PSP/...

You could also turn off zbuffer writes and draw the background with a single sprite (or many smaller, striped ones if you're a speed freak) or blit it directly to vram, then turn z writes on and to the 3d stuff as normal? (heh, im not sure what you mean by flipping buffers to do this, but thats how ...

A great .obj parser, with an example application: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/smooth.html It is just a .c and a .h that you include in you app (or buils into a lib if you like) that reads a .obj and then lets you pull the vertex, normal and material data (i cant remember if tex co-ords too?) from ...

Could you post this (or at least revalent parts)?
There could be a couple of reasons your C compiler cannot create executables ...mine was fixed by a new sdk, so you must have a different problem.

I had this just yesterday. I fixed it by updating my sdk to the latest version. Mine was kinda old so it complained about something else, that was fixed by also building the toolchain again (gcc, binutils, etc).

Not sure what the minimum you need to do is, but updating everything should help.

I forgot, I found a readme that talked about burning an SMS CD as a music CD so it could read on any PS2 even without a mod chip. Can this be done yet? You can burn media as an audio cd so you can watch it on an unmodded console (provided you have other means of actually starting the app). But you ...

Ok, well, like I said Im not sure on the exact details of linking and the ogg functions (ov_read, etc) may not have been pulled from libtremor into libsdl when you build that. Maybe it should, maybe it had, i don't know but thats how it looks to me. LIBS = -lstdc++ -lc -lSDLmain -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_mixe...

Why would the microphone on talkman work when there is currently no voltage going through it? It was found http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=4145 that there is indeed voltage across the two side pins so long a a cable is attatched. Game manuals describe them as "DC out". So i presu...

I was actually leaning more to how you are compiling the app, all libs *should* be fine. Is -ltremor before -lsdl in the makefile for your application? Even tho you compiled sdl against tremor, I dont know if the actual code was pulled in (looks like no) so you'd need to link tremor and sdl when bui...

Seems to me that the sdl code cant find the ogg decoder.
Perhaps the link order in the makefile is incorrect? I dont have specific experience with sdl...
