Torch wrote:The PS3 must have dedicated H264 decoding hardware too. There's no way a crappy 3.2GHz CPU that's not half as powerful as a desktop 3.2GHz CPU can decode 1080p. My old 3200+ couldn't.

The hardware is called SPE(s) ;)

Looks like the color doesn't change inside the loop anyway, so why not just define an unsigned int color outside the loop and calculate it just once there?

2nd:
maybe you also need to add "-O3" compiler flag in the Makefile?

hint: int sceIoWrite(SceUID fd, const void *data, SceSize size); P.S.: How do you know that it writes an ASCII value and not a HEX one? And why don't you like ASCII values? Is it just because HEX sounds cooler? Ok, you say your english is not so good, but do you know what discriminat...

I don't think that "a=b & (x | y | z)" is much better than "a= b&x; a|=b&y; a|=b&z;"... I think it's even the opposite... Especially since a and b are assigned registers ;) If you have three constants or'ed together it's combined to just one constant at compile t...

Thanks a lot jimparis. :)
I will have a closer look later after work.

Any chance to get you to post some sample program with source code? ;)

jimparis, that makes sense... and works. Thanks!

jonathan, Ctrl-L and 'reset' didn't work. Thanks anyway ;)

I have the problem that after a program crash my program returns to the console but I can't see anything. That means my program switched to graphics mode, crashed and the screen looks like it's frozen but I know that I'm back on the console as I can type commands and stuff. So my question is: is the...

The IPU (Image Processing Unit) can do RGB32 to RGB16 (not the other way I believe) using the PACK command.

I've been using the IPU for color space conversion some two years ago but can't find the code,
otherwise I could have posted the relevant parts.

Or are you interested in SPU Instruction Set Architecture? ;)

If you took the picture from this thread and you read that thread, then you should know that the microphone input doesn't really work. There's still something missing.

Or better yet, fill up the 1920x1080p in blocks. Should not take more than 4 passes to fill up the 1920x1080 (480x4=1920 and 272x4=1088). Just time it right and you get about 15fps with 4 flickers per frame. Can you explain that once more in detail? My math must be a little rusty ;P (maybe explain ...

Wha wha wha What, complicated?!
I mean did you really look into the file and at least tried to understand it? It's just 200 lines, half of which are comments o_O;
What part exactly is complicated about that?

Then why don't you look into the Makefile and put what it is doing into a bat file.
And if you really need asm files then just rename the main.S to main.asm ;P

I think that comes the closest to what you want (if you want assembly only):
TyRaNiDs Minifire

This should work (i.e. just the filename without path). You could also use a sub dir (e.g. "data/file.dat"). One problem I had where it didn't work was in a kernel app where I started a user thread and wanted to load a file in the user thread. Then you need to get the current working direc...

I'm not sure, but are you looking for something like this?

The thread sounds much friendlier now, but sorry, I don't know the answer.
Actually I just wanted to point out, that it's not very nice to bump a thread that soon (not even 1 day) after you've postet your question. If no one replies, then maybe no one knows.

What's the magic word?

What makes you think the function is terminated with 0, 0x00000000 or whatever? 0x00000000 as an opcode would be a "nop" IIRC. So if you're lucky and you have a nop somewhere in the middle of your function only half of that function will be copied. One method I used some time ago when I wa...

If you're looking for a method without "other subsequent operations", then I believe there is none.

But this should be the shortest way I think: or something like that (didn't test).

Very nice. I just bought that camera at ebay because of this :)

Thanks very much for the sample! :D

The sound chip of the PS1/PS2 is called SPU ;) (this sucks when you're googling after spu (cell) source codes ;P)

I didn't test it yet, so how exactly does this work? Is sceAudiocodecDecode a blocking function that decodes and plays the samples directly? Or does it just decode the data and put the samples into the mp3_mix_buffer? I would prefer the second one ;) because I would like to use it to just decode an ...

Nice, could be usefull.
But is it not possible to use lower frequencies, like 22.05 or 24kHz? or are only those two (44.1 and 48kHz) valid?

IIRC you don't need the memset before every sceIoDread call just before you call it the first time (thats what I saw in samples, and what worked for me).
So it would be a waste of cycles if you do it inside the while loop,
once before the loop is enough.

Actually it would have been sufficient to just memset the structure to 0 (see this thread).

Exception - Address load/inst fetch ... BadVAddr - 0000084A Looks like an alignment problem(?). You're trying to access an array or variable which is not aligned (0000084A is halfword / 16bit aligned and your program is probably trying to read/write a word / 32bit). Or maybe another problem: I don'...
