Hey Oobles! @jbit, @Drakonite, and myself have been working on cleaning and blocking the spam that appears to have started in earnest last October. Today we discussed updating to latest phpBB but it's only behind by a patch. Anyway, I'm up for taking on ops to tackle the items you've listed. This sh...

...your roots.



Happy 10th birthday, Dreamcast!

The argument passed to memalign() and __attribute__((aligned())) is specified in bytes, not bits.

The default alignment for PSP newlib malloc() is 16 bytes, or 128 bits.

thanks for you reply. so i must understand that i always have to use memalign(16, whatever) instead of new/malloc? Yes. If I remember correctly, the most you can count on for newlib is the largest natural type the CPU handles - for most CPUs, that's double, but on the PSP, it's just long/single. So...

Was there ever a reason why the PSP SDL port wasn't submitted to Lantinga for inclusion into the official tree? Seems like it'd avoid bit rot better...

Take a look at the usage of SifExecModuleBuffer() in the main() function of ps2sdk/ee/loader/src/loader.c. You might also want to search for code that uses SifLoadModuleBuffer().

Yes.

Right, I don't want to deal with Linux, I was thinking more along the lines of an SDK that dealt directly with the HV. So (out of curiosity), has anyone gotten anything to build or boot under the "gameos"? The microkernel sounds interesting, but that wouldn't be anything I could assist wit...

Huh, now it's working fine. Thanks for posting the mirror, Jim.

A bit off-topic, but is there a mirror of Marcus Comstedt's site or software? I get timeouts or resets whenever I try to access it. Thanks.

I've seen mention of ps3sdk in the forums, but I don't see anything in SVN. Does it exist somewhere public? Thanks.

Er, you only start out with a bit less than 24MB. So 1.6MB seems about right :).

you didn't build SDL

For Christ's sake BlackPaladin start contributing something useful to these threads or start finding your posts shortened. All of the speculative crap you've posted in other threads has been beaten to death as others have politely pointed out. Either come with some new or useful information about ho...

Locking this down due to lack of content, idle speculation, and redundancy.

Generally when people ask for help, they post a detailed error message. It's difficult to guess what your specific problem is if we don't see it.

Paste your errors.

It's a 200Mhz ARM machine running Linux with SDL as the primary SDK. It doesn't even have 2D hardware acceleration... you'd be better off making sure your code runs on any x86-based Linux platform, as it doesn't get much more portable than that :). The USB 2.0 port (ports?) and NTSC TV out are prett...

I just spent 4 hours working through other file read related hang problems. You may want to try changing your Makefile to compile with -O1 instead of -O2. -O1 will do less optimization. However, -O2 seems to cause my app to hang the PSP if I change a line of code from time to time (I think gcc's op...

Updated to remove unneeded environment variables and added 'make: psp-config: Command not found'.

Please refrain from posting random "Wouldn't it be (cool, possible, doable)" theories in the future. We worked hard in 2005 to kill that noise. Happy New Year!

Locked.

If the game is only for Dos/Windows, how is someone supposed to port it to the PSP? C'mon guys lets start this New Year's off right. Lets shoot for a lower lock/post ratio this year! We can do it!

Locked, because we don't allow random software requests.

Locked.

Generic C questions are off-topic. Are you even developing for the PSP?

The error is caused by not having the correct library order. Read the post jimparis referred you to or keep fiddling with the order until it works.

We can't condone someone creating or distributing programs that will potentially brick someone else's PSP. Besides, if you bother to search the forums you will find many examples of writing to flash. But there are also no software requests (that is, asking the board to write software for you). Respe...

You can't post links to copyrighted files here.

We won't help you brick your PSP either.

Install ImageMagick and make sure convert appears on your PATH before any other "convert"'s.

Do alarms not interrupt execution, do they not have high enough resolution or is there no way to get the previously running thread PC? Right, I couldn't figure out how to get the PC of the current thread. The stupid thread status struct gives you everything except that. I didn't see an easy way to ...

Nope, _mcount isn't defined anywhere. While it would be trivial to add support for counting how many times functions are called, I can't figure out a sane way to do PC sampling with the PSP's OS.
