Sony OSK intermittent crashing

[justin]

So I've been struggling with this problem for ages: using the sony osk in a game, and sometimes, it crashes. The variable I've narrowed it down to is the number of textures creates, so my guess is graphics memory. Using pspgl + sdl.

My main beef is, I can't debug under psplink, because as far as i know, psplink needs to run under 1.5 kernel, and i'm running 5.0m33 and the 1.5 kernel add on doesn't have the dialog library.

So:
1. is there any way to install the 1.5 dialogs to the 1.5 kernal add on so I can use the built in psp dialogs under psplink and debug this sucker
and
2. is large numbers of textures a likely reason for the osk to crash when loading sometimes, or am I barking up the wrong tree. Running out of heap space maybe?

psplink works quite happily on 3+ and has done for many a year. You need to get the latest version of psplinkusb out of subversion (unless you need the wifi or serial versions, then you are stuffed :P)

Oh wow. Turns out I had even built the 3+ version, just for some reason have always used the 1.5 version. Thanks for pointing that out for me. I've got the dialogs going under psplink now. I'm not getting a crash out of psp-gdb for the dialog crash, just this:
