...well, as soon as you call 'ChangeThreadPriority ( GetThreadId (), 31 );' your 'main' thread will never get a chance to run beyond that code as 'TheThread' has a higher priority of 30 and at the moment of 'ChangeThreadPriority' call it will take control. Would you try 'ChangeThreadPriority ( GetTh...

...actually RESET module contains initialization sequence for both EE and IOP. It is executed during reset/bootstrap and excecution starts at 0xBFC00000. If you use 'ps2dis' disassembler then you can try to put this value in "Address from" field and everything will become more clear (your ...

Why not use the timer That's the way it (alarm stuff ) is implemented in the kernel. I think that the value of 10 is a bit low. You can set it to 625 (for PAL video mode it will be ~40ms) or to 525 (for NTSC it will be ~33ms) Okay, so an ugly but correct usage example would be this? ...yes. I would...

...as I wrote in my last post regarding threads alarm handler is executed only once, so Call the "alarming" function every 50ms clause is not entirely correct. More correct way would be: void *alarming(s32 alarm_id, u16 time, void *arg2) { char *myStr = "This ...

...some remarks: - handler set by 'SetAlarm' is executed only once. If you want to execute it continuously then you can use 'iSetAlarm' kernel API from your handler to schedule its execution again; - time interval is expressed in H-Sync's, not in milliseconds; - pay attention at the priority of your...

...actually the sample is not really correct as 'iRotateThreadReadyQueue' is intended to be called from the interrupt handler, so it would be more correct to setup alarm handler ('SetAlarm' kernel API) (or timer interrupt handler) and call 'iRotateThreadReadyQueue' from it. It will not matter if thr...

...maybe VSync interrupt handling also has to be patched somehow (depending on how a particular game uses VSync synchronization)...

...this is actually the answer to MegaMan's private question about DVD Video disks. First of all load EROMDRV module from rom1 to activate something that enables DVD video disks to be read (there's another method to do that but I will not disclose it as it is currently used in my "Plan "B&...

...for SMAP it helped a lot (SMS achieves download speed ~2.1MB/s over TCP connection)...

...by the way, does somebody know if IOP DMA controller has a dedicated channel for i.Link interface and what are parameters (I don't really think that this information is available, but who knows :))...

...actually I had plans to write some analog of usb_mass, but with that speed I'll probably abandon this idea (though I'll try to put my workouts to SVN some day)...

Just in case if anyone is still interested: I've managed to get firewire working with ILINK.IRX from GT3 game. Actually I'm quite disappointed as a maximum raw read speed I've got is about 400KB/s (SBP-2/SCSI protocol with LaCie firewire HDD) which is even slower than USB...

...most probably you have your code like this: while &#40; &#40; chr = sio_getc &#40;&#41; &#41; < 0 &#41;; try to change it to this: while &#40; &#40; chr = sio_getc &#40;&#41; &#41; < 0 &#41; RotateThreadReadyQueue &#40; <priority of your threads...

...I've made a mistake. iRotateThreadReadyQueue. Sorry...

...though it is quite easy to implement "preemptive" multitasking. Just create your threads having the same priority and use 'iRotateThreadQueue' system call with that priority as argument in some kind of "timer interrupt handler". Be careful though with DMA, SIF and other hardwa...

...whatever you'll find interesting for yourself. It is not commercial, just for fun. I can provide you a PS2 optimized version of FFT routine that you can use to perform time -> frequency domain conversion and play with its results. The API to implement visualization in SMS is fairly simple: - perf...

...would you like to try to implement some kind of music visualization effects for SMS project ;)?...

@ffgriever: ..may I insert my 5 cents :)? I think you can't use things like: SifCallRpc&#40;&tmp_cd0, TMP_TRANSFER_BUFF, 0, tmp_rpcReBuff, 16, &tmp_ret, 16, 0, 0&#41;; SifCallRpc&#40;&tmp_cd0, TEMP_READBUFFAHEAD, 1, 0,0, 0,0, 0, 0&#41;; if one of the calls is asynchrounou...

@kouky: there is a way to boot applications directly from memory card on slim units (at least I've managed to do that on SCPH-77004) without any modifications (modchips,swap disks etc.) of the console itself. I think it's not quite legal (it requires modifications of some official title), so I'm not...

User manual of SMS (bit outdated) is available here

...ogg/vorbis decoder in SMS uses 'powf' from 'ps2sdk'. Alternatively you can try to use 'pow' from 'libm' which is part of the toolchain (I think it uses emulation for the doubles)...

...congratulations and best wishes :D...

...thank you. It works now, so updated 'libmpeg' in 'ps2sdk' and SMS 2.0 sources are available :D...

...precise error description I've got:
'Commit failed'
'Can't create directory '/home/svn/ps2/db/transactions/1380-1.txn': Permission denied
I hope that this can help :)...

...SVN works, but I can't commit my updated stuff (access denied) ;)...

...I would agree with 'dlanor'...

...look at ps2-scene forums. There was a thread about subject...

...from the user's point of view almost nothing new (except new A/V sync algorithm). Otherwise use SVN's diff (and README) to see the difference(s)...

Edit: ...yet smap.irx and ps2ip.irx f****d up beyond all recognition with host -> ps2 transfer rate ~940 KB/s...

...I've commited my latest version to SVN (lots of changes). No warranty that it's bug free, however :)...

...yes, file format detection method sucks (in fact any binary that is not an .avi will be treated as .mp3 if mp3 header (or alike) will be found in the first 16KB region of the file). Would anyone help with it :)?
