No problem :D. That path is hardcoded into the binary when it's compiled so you must've had some sort of special setup that remapped '/usr/local/ps2dev' to '/c/ps2dev' or 'c:/ps2dev' or some other configuration to workaround it before you reinstalled Windows. For the collect2 problem, it's common on...

Yep, that toolchain is configured to be in /usr/local/ps2dev and not at /c/ps2dev or c:/ps2dev. I'm not quite sure how you had it working before. You can try to create a symlink using something like "ln -s /c/ps2dev /usr/local/ps2dev" or modify the fstab to mount c:/ps2dev to /usr/local/ps...

Newlib's the standard C library and headers that ee-gcc uses. It's part of compiling the toolchain. It looks like you have your environment variables setup correctly based on the output. Since that header is part of ee-gcc, it looks like it can't find its own files, which points to a problem with pa...

That header's located in 'ee/ee/include/sys/types.h'. It's part of the toolchain installation so ee-gcc should be able to find it if the toolchain's been installed to the same location... Maybe your toolchain was corrupted during the transfer? If you're missing just the newlib headers, then maybe co...

It's kind of complicated. You have to map the texture onto your primitive, so that the texture's texels map correctly on your primitive so that the DDA thinks the texture doesn't need to be scaled. Jbit made a couple of examples of it: http://www.jbit.net/ps2/gs-linear-sprite.html Some background in...

That's the proper fix, :D. I made a post detailing how to fix SDL over a year ago, for both older versions and the most recent version of gsKit. I also added information for the ability to support more display modes than NTSC or PAL. http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=78727#78727 It doesn't lo...

The WinXP Mode is only for Windows 7 Professional or above. For the other versions of 7 or any version of Vista, you would need a license for XP and would have to manually install XP into a vm. For 64-bit versions of Windows, you probably would need to use a 32-bit Windows vm, or use a Linux vm. I h...

Warning: Be careful when typing commands. I use both opt/ps2dev and /opt/ps2dev, the first being the directory in the current directory, and the second being the directory located in the root / directory. Note: The removal of libiberty.a and ee-c++filt.exe from gcc are because the versions built by...

Compiling the toolchain on Windows 7 and Vista doesn't work as smoothly as it does on XP. The ps2dev-patches I provide have support for the DESTDIR variable when doing a "make install" command. For those not in the know, it allows you to make a mirror image install to any directory not jus...

Because there's an idiot at Microsoft, Vista and 7 have something called installer detection. It essentially requires admin rights to run an installer, which escalates the installer's privileges to admin level, inherently making the whole idea worthless as that does exactly what malware wants you to...

I test pretty much all my homebrew in PCSX2. It allows me to test things that I can't test on my actual PS2. I compile my own version of PCSX2 on Linux, though. You should really be using a svn build rather than 0.9.6. The last available build is beta 1736. It's something like... 1130 revisions newe...

Some new information. The interrupt vector handler resets the COP0 Count register to 0, before calling the timer handler. It's helpful for setting the right interval, and for calculating the current number of ticks. The current timer handler for the interrupt just prints out that an interrupt has oc...

I see, :D. Thanks for those references. This is actually great to know. The only thing I could find online about sprite strips was for animating sprites, lol. The method even looks similar.

I'm not sure if it helps improve performance, at least, the way I look at it. You have a constant number of pixels that need to be processed, and a constant amount of texture data that needs read. Doing it with multiple primitives, means the the GIF packet is larger and the GS has to start from the ...

Oops, I accidentally hit submit instead of preview so I was still posting when you posted, heh :D. I think that flickering is caused from using the primitive designed for sprite strips instead of for a single sprite. In sdl/src/video/ps2sdk/SDL_ps2video.c in function PS2_SetVideoMode(): gsKit_prim_s...

For the oneshot queue, you need to refill the dma pool between each gsKit_queue_exec() call with what you're drawing, since the queue is reset when it's executed. For the persistent queue, the queue isn't cleared when it's executed, so you don't need to redraw between gsKit_queue_exec() calls. It ne...

You can try filtering the flicker, but it'll require modifying gsKit. I haven't done it because I've been busy modifying libgraph and libdraw to replace gsKit. This should be all that's needed for enabling the flicker filter. You should keep the old code for non-interlaced/progressive modes, and jus...

The good thing about the PS2's GS, is that the framebuffer can be "magnified" without the use of a scaler or filter, allowing for the original resolution to be used and should be without any type of distortion. I will also add other optional filters like nearest-neighbor/bilinear, for scal...

I'm the original author of PS2 FCEUltra, and the port was really my first coding project. I didn't use a vsync interrupt handler, so the sound buffer underruns a lot, since each frame is locked between vsyncs. Plus, I didn't know how to correctly map the framebuffer to the right texel coordinates, s...

There currently isn't anything in ps2sdk that's millisecond accurate except for clock(). You can just use CLOCKS_PER_SEC/1000 to calculate the amount of ticks per millisecond, or just define it as 576 using a macro, and compare to clock() until the period of time has passed.

Yeah, you should check the path it was executed from, and load the appropriate module or modules. I think uLaunchElf's main() function checks for every known launching method, so you could look in its source for the list of devices.

There isn't a rule for compiling headers in the current ps2sdk makefile system. You can add a custom rule to do it, though. EE_H_FLAGS = -D_EE -O2 -G0 -Wall EE_H_INCS = -I$&#40;PS2SDK&#41;/ee/include -I$&#40;PS2SDK&#41;/common/include -I. %.gch &#58; %.h <tab>ee-g++ $&#40;EE_...

I see. Then it seems that this bug is being inconsistent, heh. The reason 0.93 is so buggy was because I was trying to workaround a bug that I never experienced, but trying to work around it just kind of broke it, heh, and that's the last I'll mention it, since that version was discontinued. I'm mak...

I think it's more or less just coincidence. In order to activate the bug for homebrew: You need a newer pstwo. dev9 enabled prior to enabling usb/spu2 will cause only the last dma channel enabled to work. usb or spu2 enabled prior to dev9, should cause only the last two enabled channels to work.* Fo...

I took some time and went through all the modules in ps2sdk. The usbd, ahx, and freesd modules seem to be the only modules that use the pcr2 register directly. The ps2dev9 module uses dmacman, though. Here's the list of the bit settings for pcr2 that are in ps2sdk: 1 << 27, 0x08000000 is usb ohci ch...

I also found this: http://playstation2-linux.com/download/jasefunky/flicker_fixed_kernel_hack.txt It shows how to setup the read/merge circuits for removing the interlace flicker without any offset correction code. Double-buffering in gsKit is incompatible with that method, though, as it only enable...

I wonder why all these modules didn't use dmacman? But maybe it's bugged in newer ps2's as well...

You can try importing dmacman's dmac_get_dpcr2() and see if it returns 0 as well.

Yeah, SetCPUTimer sets the COP0 Count/Compare and unmasks the interrupt in the Status register when -1 is the argument. The timers used so far are timers 1, 2, 3, leaving only timer 0. PS2SDK uses timer 1 for a low resolution tickrate, the kernel uses timers 2 and 3. Timer 3 is set to the hsync peri...

Is there a reason why no game or homebrew seems to use the coprocessor timer handler?

The timer seems to run just fine, anyway. I ran it at an interval of .1 seconds for over an hour. There was a slight delay when setting it, but that was about it.
