Press a key without pressing it

[Tsukasa]

Hi

I've a simple question:
Is it possible to code a program which is able to press automatically a predefined button in a certain time?

Thanks in advance

Possible :)
You have to patch the sceCtrl**** stub(if you want to take a effect to a module)
or function body(if you want to take a effect to all modules).
I've tried patching sceCtrlReadBufferPositive stub in "game" module and it worked:)

Code: Select all

// The part of the test code
PspCtrlButtons mask_and;
PspCtrlButtons mask_or;

int patched_sceCtrlReadBufferPositive(SceCtrlData *pad_data, int count)
{
  int result = sceCtrlReadBufferPositive(pad_data, count);
  pad->Buttons &= mask_and;
  pad->Buttons |= mask_or;
  return result;
}

im not a c coder, but shouldn't you use the function that the button executes?


if (pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_SQUARE){
printf("Square pressed \n");
}

couldn't you just change the if

if ("time" = "when i want it"){
printf("Square pressed \n");
}

But maybe he is running code in the background and wants to generate the press for a another program.

What possible use could this have?

err why not just skip the controller input for function
for using the function you want at a given time
to execute at that time ...controller input is after all
just input to another function :P

I'm not him, but maybe he wants to generate events for another program, or for a game, maybe a list of events in specific times to automatize some things.

Another possible use of this would be something like VNC, but at the contrary: controlling the psp with a computer or with another psp.

...and we don't hack official games here.

I didn't mention the word official, it can be whatever game ;)

Thats still not really within our rules... If it's your game, you don't need to fake button presses like this.. and if it's someone elses, we really don't hack games like that here.

But still can be used for other things.
For example the psp vnc server concept. Useful? Probably not, but like a curiosity or proof of concept is right.

Well, I'd love to see how this is done, simply because it's the only way I see a program being able to turn off the PSP's screen and I want to introduce a nice sleep feature within my own program/eboot.

[Zettablade]

Same here. So, uh, well? What is the code! lol sorry. I've been wanting to know all day...

I tried some ways and i found a solution:

You just have to add the PSP_CTRL_XXXXX to pad.Buttons like here:

Code: Select all

SceCtrlData pad;

while (1)
{
	sceCtrlReadBufferPositive(&pad, 1);
	pspDebugScreenSetXY(0, 0);
	printf("%i\n", pad.Buttons); // standard pad, nothing pressed
	pad.Buttons = pad.Buttons + PSP_CTRL_CROSS;
	printf("%i\n", pad.Buttons); // changed pad, where CROSS is pressed
	if (pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_CROSS) { printf("X is pressed!\n"); }
}

and tada, you see the message, that CROSS is pressed!

It works for me on 3.90 M33-2 with 1.50 Kernel

This is very useful when remote controlling the psp's music player! You just add your codes of your remote control and then switch songs with the remote.

Thus far from my side,

Did you resume such an old post to say such wrong things?? Once you get pad data structure, that is YOUR LOCAL COPY of a system struct, not the struct itself....if you modify it in your code, then your code is the scope of your variable, and other processes CANNOT see the change: you definitely cannot drive the xmb mp3 player with this nonsense...local and global scopes:things i learned in a BASICA course when i was eight.

XmbController :D, LocoRoco motion :D, vshanalog, JoySens, RemoteJoy, etc

Ok, but none of these are made with that crappy code...they do it hooking sys function calls...i guess piKey sources are a good place to start learning how to do such a thing.....IF you can already code c and distinguish between local/global/process/system scopes.

Ofcourse! First two seem familiar to me, cuz they're are mine ;)

@KickinAezz
Oh, sorry i didn't know :)))) ....greetings for those good pieces of software...oh, and by "IF you can already code ..." i did not mean YOU, of course
hi!

I just thought of a good idea for this.
The possiblitys are endless.

This post is old as my grandpa's ass, and all the "endless" possiblilities have been explored...take a look to the ton of homebrew starting with pikey

[Mopeto]

I dont know if this works but the pump it up zero game have "replay" function which only press the butons you did.

[jean]

Don't feel attacked, but....no, it's not the point.

Slight exaggeration there jean, or your grandpa is only two years old :)
