I'd strongly reccomend the .b3d format. as it supports everything a game requires(It was designed with games in mind)

Check out www.blitzmax.com for specs. or alternately check out Synth3d for a loader I wrote. (Feel free to nick the code without crediting me)

Hi, Just a quick note to say the commercial pc versions of raptor(Now synthesis 3dmax) has been released for the price of 25 dollars. Just to be clear, the psp version will remain freeware, but if you'd like to be able to quickly test your code on pc/mac/lniux you might like to consider the commerci...

I was too eager to see the game running on a pc, so I hard coded a port of raptor etc using vc2005 express and it works fine now. runs about 50x slower than the psp though, which is odd seeing as i have a g5. Just reinstalling my gfx drivers to be sure i did install them when i re-installed windows....

Yes, very interesting, thanks.

What would you reccomend for cross platform mouse/keyboard input btw? Know of a lib thats cross-platform across mac/linux/win? (only look for mouse/keyboard input, not joypad)

I'm just wondering, how easy would it be to have a project compile simultaniously (Either through one or two make calls) for both psp and pc? The codebase, is farly platform indepedent. Using glut to create the psp window, so to get to run on the pc i just need to write some input code probably usin...

No I'm afraid I won't be releasing it. I'm happy for you include it luaplayer, but I don't know much about that guy's 2d library, never seen it before or even know where to get it.(I've only used luaplayer briefly to try out some demos) But as long as it can display a raw buffer in rgb format (1 byt...

Sounds like a z buffer issue. Try switching to orothogonal rendering then draw your 2d. Or try clearing the depth buffer. ( glClear( GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) )

Hard to say without seeing your code. I can say the gui in raptor is fairly fast. In fact I'm using it to make a clone of Sensible World of Soccer, so the gui will rapidly by the next alpha with a lot more gadgets/lists etc.

Here is alpha 4, dedicated to QJ net for mirroring all my releases :) http://www.savefile.com/files/9564904 Some of the new features/improvements include, -Infinitely faster animation system. Optimized to the absolute brink, the previous demo which ran at 21fps now runs at over 60fps (How much over ...

Hmm, what about speed? Surely a maths intensive, logic intensive loop can be done at a faster pace in asm if you know what you're doing? (I don't :) )

I'll give the firewall ago but I don't think it's that either tbh, since it already asked me if I wanted to unblock it. (unless there are other layers of security that need to be set manually) and yep, well not page not found, the usual 'you have tried to connect to 'blah blah' which is unavliable' ...

Any ideas? Do I have to do anything special to vlc other than the commandline? You're on windows? The only vlc cmdline parameter is "--extraintf=http" In pmp.ini try first with psp and pc both behind your router and set an ip for your vlc server (not a hostname). If that works it could be...

Nice, do you plan on doing any simple examples? (Sorry if they're already provided, havn't downloaded it yet.)

I'm not sure if this applies to C as well (I use ++ exclusively) but this is how you include asm within a C++ program. void AddTest&#40;&#41; &#123; int num1=5; int num2=10; int out=0; int to = 5; float r17,r16; r16=0; r17=0; for&#40;int i=0;i<to;i++&#41; &#123; float res = n...

thanks, figured i could do it that way, just wondering if there was a fast build in func.

Is there a floating point random number generator in the psp sdk? (you know like on windows, where it returns between 0 and 1 and you just scale it into range yourself)

Running into problems getting this to work. I've set up the ini, added the port to my router port forwarding list, and on starting the psp app and hitting right trigger, it connects perfectly, but when I hit select and goto video, it only lists the sole mp4 file i placed as told to in the instructio...

Sounds easy enough. I'm sure I'll still manage to mess it up of course but can't blame anyone for that :)

As for jpeg, I believe ya, I'm just not used to these sorts of bugs. Too much time using C# and blitzmax for my own good :)

You maybe right, although I managed to locate the source of the problem. JPEG textures. I kludged my b3d loader to use the bmp loader when finding jpegs, and replaced zombie.jpg with a bmp by the same name, and now it works fine. So it appears either the jpeg library is broken, or I've made a mistak...

Did you try the Extern "C" thing? That usually solves unresolved links when using C++ (you havn't stated which you use)

Nah search the forums, there are quite a few cases of people with usb1.1 having problems with osolink. I did try it, compiled all the pc side apps etc, but as soon as it connects it trashes the usb connection and I have to reboot the pc to use usb again. As for overrunning an array etc, I doubt it a...

So I was Right Jim. :) (Aside from vfpu which is not something I'm going to tackle just yet. Too many other bugs to sniff out) Tbh I didn't expect indirections to cause much slowdown..not unless psp differ vastly from pcs. Which I guess it does but still. Sib, thanks for the tip. I'm gonna leave it ...

Ah if only, psplink doesn't work for me. I think because my pc has usb1.1 instead of 2.0. So it could be pointers causing the problem huh? Have to admit I don't like the idea of replacing my pointers..In fact I don't even think I could, not without major major redesigns and going back to C which is ...

I just tried, Texture *ftex = new Texture&#40;"flare.jpg",JPEG&#41;; Logger->Log&#40;"Creating PE\n"&#41;; ParticleEngine * pe = new ParticleEngine&#40; NULL,1000 &#41;; Which loads the texture but does not assign, and now I see the particles again BUT the...

Hi, I'm experiencing very wierd behaviour in my C++ psp app. (Raptor) For example if I do this, ParticleEngine * pe = new ParticleEngine&#40; NULL,1000 &#41;; it runs fine. I can see my particles on screen and it does not crash. But if I change it to this, Texture *ftex = new Texture&#40...

Did you have any luck with them?

I dont use a vsync though, that's whats wierd. I even tried using a single buffer with no backbuffer but then I just got a blank screen. I just glClear to cls, and glutSwapBuffers. or glSwapbuffers. I suppose the vsync is being done by pspgl then? As for matrices, I did unroll everything. It's just ...

Are you using C++? Alot of libs headers need extern "C" {} added around the code to work in C++.

If not, post the exact error and the makefile.

Also bear in mind order is important. Countless times I've had to add libs twice just to get the order right.

You see Jim, I told you there were still ways to optimize it further. :P I've toyed with using asm, but I'm just not good enough with it tbh. I need to put some time aside to do some asm tests and get familar with the psp cpu. I was making some nice progress on the ps2 asm side then I got the psp an...

Jim, I challenge you to optimize it any further than I have. :) It's not even using two matrices now, all the 1,0s I don't even compute so you're right, just a bit late to the party :) float fx,fy,fz; fx=&#40;new_mat->grid&#91;0&#93;&#91;0&#93;*ovx&#41; + &#40;new_mat->gr...
