I guess the changes Mega Man pointed should go into the repository. Anyone with commit rights would like to take the task?

Do you see as viable to take this PSP port as starting point for a PS2 port or would be simpler to port from the original instead?

Thumbs up, man!

About 3 weeks before posting at this thread I asked Mega Man about the problem I encountered and yesterday he replied : (...)I think the optimizer removes the local variables. You should use more complicated code or disable the optimizer (-O0). This must be the last parameter with prefix "-O&qu...

Some weeks ago I managed to get some progress. I've found this thread where megaman show how to use regular linux gdb with a patched version of ps2gdb : http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=4430 So I've apply the patches to the sources of svn://svn.ps2dev.org/ps2/trunk/ps2gdb (it was the first t...

Only now I had the time to try it. Nice game! It feels like a good old school game. Since the game is all in a single ELF file, I tried to run it from a usb pen using uLE but it failed, leaving a black screen. I managed to run it using ps2link. I only wished LlibPlanar would have a low resolution (a...

The easiest way to run a program on the PS2 without a mod is with new versions of Swap Magic that allow you to run a program from a USB stick. Not anymore. If you know already someone who has a modded PS2 or uses the swap magic method or any other to run homebrew, ask him/her to do a mcboot for you...

Hello ifcaro, Thanks for your work. I already knew Llibplanar from my first development experiments on the PS2 and it seems you added some nice features. However, the sources will not compile under a regular ps2sdk installation due some the makefile issues. The changes I did were simple and I though...

But what project does this belong?

your post made me look at the make files, and some of the code, i changed a little, and now i can get the elf file, i'm not sure of the legalty of posting the modified files here, but once i execute the file using xlink, i get an exception. As long the files don't have any copyright I see no troubl...

I've check-out the ps2gdb sources and actually it was very simple to build it. The makefile is expecting the existence of a lib folder at the root of the project. So create an empty 'lib' there. After typing make, you should have a libps2gdbStub.a in there. But for me, this stops here... I don't kno...

Well, I was really asking about the usb for the ps2. To me, this a development related post, to you, its like dust in the wind. I disagree with you. If you were developing a USB driver or debugging the current driver or asking for help because you had a crash when trying to use it, then I would see...

I agree with you, LBGSHI. But what I find most annoying is the fact some people keep ignoring forum rules. When they create an account they are informed PS2Dev forums are development forums and still they keep registering to ask non-development questions. Why people keep breaking simple rules? There...

Can someone explain me how can i extract the files in a -elf file ? I think an elf file is a packed file with the program right Hi, A PS2 executable uses the ELF format but packing has nothing to do with it. However, there is a homebrew packer that takes a regular PS2 ELF, packs it and generates an...

They are not part of the Mega Man linux but ps2mame is easy to find.

It was just the 1st hit using google. I think it's only NTSC.

I see.

Just a quick note : the order used by the GS is RGBA, not ARGB.

What is the best usb pen to use for a ps2 fat? The best way to find this is try for yourself some pens or do some searching - I bet there is a list somewhere of the compatible USB pens (try psx-scene forums, there could be something there with luck). Not all usb pens are compatible with the PS2... ...

I realize this is a long-dead thread, but its content is still valid, and my response is still important: As there really was a need for PS2Lib for quite a few outdated sources, I've not only included it in my pre-built, Win32 PS2SDK, but I've also made it available as a standalone package, here: h...

ot bad english you say? the plural of person is people, NOT persons as you say. Sorry for being off-topic, but I couldn't let this pass again whithout expressing my opinions.

@deba5er,

I'm curious about the xmame-0.106-ps2.tar.gz, and since I don't have the ps2 linux installed, I ask : How's the performance of it, compared to the non-linux host only ps2mame?

Porting an app is EASY - just find all the parts that DON'T work on the target platform and change them into code that does. See? Easy! If you need more help than that, you aren't ready to be porting. Learn more about the target platform by studying apps. Look for apps that do things the port will ...

Is there any possible chance there could be a restricted section where certain people (like myself and others who actually HELP the dev test the program rather than whine about loose features or ask for support on things that already have been answered?

Hmm...but, assuming the projects in question were recently created, and apparently compile fine for others, wouldn't it stand to reason that I shouldn't need to modify the makefiles? Or, are you speculating that they need modification to work within the MinGW/msys framework? I suppose I should try ...

OK, I've "fixed" and managed to compile ps2_qbert. The offending code was "dmaKit_init", in system.c, below: // This makes things look marginally better in half-buffer mode... // however on some CRT and all LCD, it makes a really horrible screen shake. // Uncomment this to disab...

About the gskit issues : Yes, to use gsKit in a project it's required to change your environment variables, so that's why the project you're compiling complains about not finding the gsKit.h and such files, which surely are present in your setup. If you look closer to the gsKit makefile you'll see t...

Cool. But I strongly advice you to look at the source control system it offers (subversion) since true power comes from it. As soon you get familiar with it you simply cannot code without it :) A great client for Winblows is TortoiseSVN.

I always been curious about the GP2x... How does it compare to a PSP in terms of performance? What about its free SDK compared to the PSP free SDK?

Hmm interesting. It worked on particular conditions... Could it be an init issue?
