The prizes are not confirmed at the moment. At the very least I'll organise some ps2dev t-shirts or something. But yes, the idea is that the winner of the psp competition gets a ps2 and the winner of the ps2 competition gets a psp.

Yes. You are free to submit games that you update.

After five years its time to have a fun competition to put all the hardwork that has gone into ps2sdk, pspsdk and all the other great tools to some use. The goal is simple, write your own homebrew original game in the next 2months. The best entry for PSP and PS2 win a prize. Simple! I(Oobles) will b...

Wow, who would have thought we'd still be here after five years doing the same old stuff. Who thought we'd still be here doing cool stuff with PSP after all these years. Who thinks we'll still be here next year doing cool stuff with Playstation 3? Anyway.. still glad to be here and part of such a gr...

I've just committed an update to the module loading to Subversion. I've replaced the System.loadModule with the more traditional loadlib function. The way you write modules and load them has changed a little. Check the modules in subversion to see how. It now works like this in lua. simple = loadlib...

Thanks to TyRaNid and the wonders of psplink, I worked out the problem. Turned out that libsFindExportAddrByName was returning a pointer to a pointer to the function.

Be aware that version 0.18 has a problem which doesn't reload modules after restarting your application. If you are using loadable modules then you will need to restart luaplayer each time you run your app. I think I have a fix for this, but it will be a few days until I get time to commit the chang...

I'm still not having any success with calling the export. The address I get back from libsFindExportAddrByName is 0x08876DE4. I'm assuming I can simply call into this address? eg luaC_function f = libsFindExportAddrByName( id, "simple", "init" ); f( L &...

Oh.. and btw.. the google ads was just for fun on the main site too. Although, I'm a bit curious to know if we get money from it. Would be nice to have the site pay for its hosting costs, etc.

chp, wouldn't it be nice to be out of a job! :) Anyway, here's the list of other related news coincidently released on the 1st of April? Sony discontinues PSP production http://www.psxextreme.com/scripts/news3/new.asp?newID=429 Analyst: Revolution will take lead in 2010 http://www.gamespot.com/news/...

It's pretty exciting news don't you think!?

David aka Oobles.

In my long tale of trying to get loadable modules into LuaPlayer, I used a bit of code from psplink to get a specific export from a PRX. I used libsFindExportAddrByName to get a valid export. I then tried calling the export, however, I got an exception. Have you checked the function to see if the ad...

If you're using PSPLink then you should use a USB cable and get the host file system working. I have the host filesystem directed at my current projects executable directory. A session in psplink becomes 'exec EBOOT.PBP' and then 'reset'.. code.. compile.. repeat. :) Hope that helps. David. aka Oobl...

Sorry to hear of your dead PSP, however, this is a programming forum, and not a PSP repair forum. Thread locked and moved.

Is it possible to find and call a specific PRX export from user mode? I have added module loading to LuaPlayer. At this point it relies on the module registering itself with LuaPlayer during startup. One problem with this is that it does not allow the app to be restarted as the module startup will n...

As promised, I've committed the fixes. At some stage I'll add an example for module loading. If you want to give it a go you just need. System.loadModule( "simple" ) txt = Simple.doSomething() -- then print text somewhere on screen to receive the secret mess...

LuMo, I skipped v0.17 because it was already in the ChangeLog. Nevyn, yes, module loading does require kernel support. However, having said that, it should be easier to build LuaPlayer for post-1.5 because all the kernel code has been split out into the bootstrap. I did some more testing before and ...

Well, I did it. I committed version v0.18alpha to Subversion. It is a bit of a re-arrangement of LuaPlayer, so it needs some testing. The big change is that luaplayer is now in a user mode PRX which is loaded from the kernel mode bootstrap. The net effect of all this is that luaplayer can now load o...

I just added a link to a site with toolchain and other information.

If you find any other useful links, let me know here and I'll add them to ps2dev.org.

Three months later and I'm still working on this problem. I finally loaded a module yesterday and got things working. However, there might be some issues with keeping full compatibility with the last version of LuaPlayer. The current solution is to put luaplayer into a user mode PRX file and use a s...

Looks like a great tool. Would you like Subversion access, so you can add it to the collection of tools here? Send me a private message and I can organise it.

It looks as though we have a quorom of people interested in running a competition. I am one of the people who won't be entering, so am volenteering to host it as a ps2dev.org competition. I've never hosted a competition before, so will need some help on rules, etc. I am currently looking into the co...

If you want to debug a PRX the best thing to do is run debug xxxx.prx on the psp, then run gdb using xxxx.elf. I assume this is what you are trying to do?

I've been playing around with usbgdb today. Trying it out with eclipse and stand alone. Discovered a few things. First thing I did was add in some lines of code in usbhostfs_pc to echo the commands sent to/from gdb. Turns out ethereal doesn't capture from localhost. I was thinking of adding these wi...

I downloaded v0.9d from the site today. Installed and got the usbhostfs_pc compiled on cygwin first time. For anyone trying to set this up, follow the instructions at the end of the manual. I also had a go at using the eclipse IDE for PSP debugging. It was really quite simple. Create a new Debug pro...
