I don't think you need the EE to download a movie. Doesn't the hypervisor continue to run while running a game? I bet it could also run a process for a download, I would think it's more a matter of firmware than anything else. A simple download uses next to no resources on the processor.

No, No-umd mode is not enabled.

Ok, now this is complete voodoo magic... I compiled the code you posted with the 'weird extra code' commented out, and as I expected, because that was the code I began with, it didn't quit when I ran the elf binary from within File Assistant++. I then tried to run the program as an EBOOT.PBP and aga...

You are right in saying that older PPC processors also did not have very complicated instruction windows and branch predicition, but the rest of the core is very much modelled after more recent PPCs. People interested in these kinds of things should read the Ars Technica articles on the Emotion Engi...

The PPC core in the CBE is very very different from the PPC in a Mac. The most important difference is that the PPC core in the CBE does not have an instruction window and only very limited bracnh prediction. The instruction window of a processor looks at the the next n instructions to be executed a...

Is it possible to compile and use the psptoolchain in a FreeBSD environment? Anybody using such a setup?

Ok, apparently I am not clear enough. The 'weird extra code' in my example program, aka deinit_callbacks, is most definately not the cause of my problem. I encountered the problem way before I added the whole deinit_callbacks function. I added deinit_callbacks after I encountered the problem in an a...

Again, I added that in an attempt to resolve the problem, it didn't work without it, it didn't work with it.

Ah I found the problem. When I compile with debugging symbols (-g in CFLAGS) it quits properly, without debugging symbols it keeps hanging at the "Please wait..." screen.

I am sure the sceKernelExitGame() was there and that was the only function there. I based this code on Jason Owens' Random Dot Generator code. When I compile that it doesn't properly exit either, it doesn't freeze however, it crashes.

I did, that's what I started with, only after I found that the program kept freezing in the "Please wait..." screen did I try and add them in an attempt to resolve it.

Hi people, I keep having problems with my app hanging on exit, I get the "Please wait..." screen and it just never quits. I am running 3.03OE-C and FileAssistant++ to launch my elf binary. When I press the start button to quit everything works fine, though I get a screen with some white ve...

Hi people, I keep having problems with my app hanging on exit, I get the "Please wait..." screen and it just never quits. I have tried adding the sceKernelDisplayWaitVblankStart() and sceKernelDelayThread(0) before and after sceKernelExitGame() but that didn't change anything. I've tried p...

Hi people, I'm using SDL with SDL_ttf to produce some text in my application, but it seems that something is going wrong and I haven't the slightest idea as to what could be going wrong. Below is the function I am currently using (surf here is the primary video surface): inline void drawtext&#40...
