Now that we can dump the hypervisor and reverse engineer it, does that mean we can search the undocumented HV calls for the (rumored to exist) GPU setup calls we need for full GPU access? Yep. Failing actually finding one undocumented just sitting there (which would be ideal as once learned, anyone...

So, with this exploit, you can alter data from GAMEOS in run-time? Outputting 'Hello world' in GAMEOS, for example. Or do you require a software exploit for that? No, as quoted in the post above yours: This adds two new HV calls, u64 lv1_peek(16)(u64 address) void lv1_poke(20)(u64 address, u64 data...

is there an 'errno' or similar in xlib you could check for clues on why the call failed? Maybe an strace would be helpful - sometimes missing file opens or something can be an indicator as to why things failed? You do have the 64bin xlib library installed right? Although i'd expect some other failur...

whats it mean by "invalid preprocessing directive #inlcude Just that, ie inlcude is not a valid #directive for the preprocessor. btw the include is #include <pspiofilemgr.h> I think you'll find that's what it should be, not what you've actually written. Read the error again: main.c:8:2: error:...

If you're willing to compile your own kernel, there is one option that may interest you. I'm fairly sure that a otheros.bld is produced by the linux build system when building for ps3. This may be flashed in as 'otheros' and off you go. So rather than writing a kernel + mini-userspace whos sole purp...

the command to un-mount a volume on linux us spelled 'umount'. (note there is no 'n' in that!) and i'm not sure i read you correctly, but it seems you simply skipped the editing of /etc/fstab? That file really should to match your actual partitioning scheme, since it lists which partitions are mount...

ps2sdk contains a basic libc. The parts it implements, should be very similar to any other libc: NAME sleep -- suspend thread execution for an interval measured in seconds LIBRARY Standard C Library &#40;libc, -lc&#41; SYNOPSIS #include <unistd.h> unsigned int sleep&#40;unsigned int seco...

Nice, I didnt know about atan2. you learn something new every day Thanks!

May not be what you saw before, but if I cast my mind way back and remember a little trig, and assuming (0,0) is when the nub is centered: import math def foo&#40;x,y&#41;&#58; rad = math.atan&#40;y/x&#41; degrees = rad * &#40;360 / &#40;2*math.pi&#41;&#41; magnit...

Hi pettersson, Are you per chance using libvncserver as distributed by debian? (perhaps also including Ubuntu) I've heard one report that the binary in apt appears to be buggy, but building from source seems to work fine. Does that help any? Hi, "InStream max string length exceeded" is the...

Off course the obvious route would be buying a non-slim PS3 then, but the question is, would a firmware update to that older machine kill off OtherOS functionality... Just my thoughts, but I doubt it. Although new models no longer do SACD or play ps2 games, but successive firmware updates have not ...

So one dude knew about a firmware update and was right, so suddenly he's some sort oracle for all things Sony? I imagine details of a FW update has been relatively fixed for some time, allowing for testing, making details available to studios prior to release, etc. Im sure there are many people who ...

I'm a bit hazy on the details, but I do remember reading a post here about whilst not having a fully fledged MMU, there is some form of hw-based MPU. There were a couple of registers, and each two bits (or each nibble maybe?) corresponded to permissions on a chunk of memory, and between all the 'chu...

Yeah, get support from the people you paid? http://www.winds3.com/en/faq.htm : 5.What happens after I send in the order? After you send the order, please send us your registration information, after we confirm your order and get the registration information, we'll send you the registration code a.s....

If you mean under PS3-linux, then yes - you just need a linux USB driver for the device just like you would on a regular linux based machine.

If you mean for a commercial title under GameOS, then I guess you'd have to go through official channels with Sony for info.

The size of a pointer is the size of the pointer, not what it points to. :) Yeah, i figured that. how would i figure out the size of what the pointer points to? Assuming "struct foo *work;" I usually use sizeof(struct foo) ie, taking the size of the type rather than the variable. Although...

it's on freenode (ie, irc.freenode.net).

There is a #pspdev channel there, but you need to register with nickeserv before you can join.

Question & Answer

Maybe not an fpga as it were, but it does seem to be reconfigurable under software control in perhaps a similar manner.: Some slides: http://www.extremetech.com/slideshow/0,2850,l%253D%2526a%253D133950,00.asp And some interesting reading from the horse's mouth, on the vme: http://www.sony.net/Produc...

I've not heard of any driver for RSX, either 2D or 3D, other than the simple framebuffer that has been there since forever. Where did you read otherwise? I believe there might have been some patches around that use SPUs to accelerate some X operations, but I am not sure how stable/complete this work...

Is your file named main.c? It looks like you're using psp-gcc to compile, not psp-g++. And since that isn't C code in there, might be confusing the compiler?
I guess .cc or .cpp or something will invoke the g++ rules in the Makefiles ...

EDIT: beaten to it :)

Do you have a network adapter or are using a slim?

You could do what most everyone else does, and burn one CD, and have that boot ps2link. Then you just send you application over ethernet for each boot. Saves mucking around with CDs or USB keys and stuff...

remote joy does it by streaming the framebuffer out as data over the USB. What you're asking would require an analog signal out the USB port - although some digital cameras do this, I'd guess they have deticated circuitry and just re-use the USB plug and form factor. As for the audio port, I dont kn...

no problem. One thing I should point out its that the '1' in 'rfbProcessEvents(rfbScreen,1);' refers to how long we should sleep in the select(). Making this larger will cause the server to sleep longer and perhaps not burn so much CPU in the busy loop. I guess each to his own for the CPU/responsive...

UPDATE: from IRC: <jadamcze> cheriff: ps3 fb is ARGB8888, libvncserver doesn't seem to support converting from that format <jadamcze> There appears to be no magic option to get the colours right. afaict. <malc> just add one to fb_ea if you're not using the alpha... Malc's idea seems to work so take ...

From what I've read, this acts as a BT keyboard, so in theory* should just work with various OS' existing stacks.

* Although the gap between theory and reality is often larger in practice than it is in theory :)

Could it be that ps2link does not reset the IOP before starting your app? I do not know how uLaunchelf behaves.

In which case the MC related modules would already be loaded, and may object to a 2nd attempt.... Just a suggestion :)

Ah, looks like there's no video connection, shoulda guessed since it's a rackmount. I really wish someone would make a Cell-based workstation someday... :( From the 'Brochure': The unit also accepts an optional BKCU-VD1 video display board with a DVI-I output, useful for outputting calculation resu...

I heard somewhere word on the street is it will be "priced under $10k". Now whether thats $1 or a couple hundred/grand under 10k is anyone's guess :)

ok one quick side question being a noob and all and constently getting flamed else where in these forums for not knowing anything would the things taught in Fedora 7 Unleashed have any relevance to FEDORA 7 on the ps3 so i may attempt to educate myself? Well, what do you want to learn? Seems like t...
