sorry for the really basic question but what would be the best method for pausing execution for, I dont know, say 3 seconds?

dont know if it helps but this is taken straight from the scummvm port im working on:

Code: Select all

uint32 getMillis&#40;&#41;
&#123;
   int* sec;
   int* usec;

   SifCallRpc&#40;&client,0,0,&#40;void*&#41;&#40;&rpcBuffer&#91;0&#93;&#41;,0,&#40;void*&#41;&#40;&rpcBuffer&#91;0&#93;&#41;,128,0,0&#41;;
   sec = &#40;int*&#41; &#40;&rpcBuffer&#91;0&#93;&#41;;
   usec = &#40;int*&#41; &#40;&rpcBuffer&#91;4&#93;&#41;;
   msecs = &#40;*sec&#41;*1000+ &#40;*usec&#41;/1000;
   return msecs;
&#125;

void delayMillis&#40;uint msecs_time&#41;
&#123;
 uint32 i = getMillis&#40;&#41;;
 uint32 time = i;

 while &#40;time <= i+msecs_time&#41; &#123;
   checkSound&#40;&#41;;
   time= getMillis&#40;&#41;;    
 &#125;
 
&#125;

wow i guess its not as simple as I hoped. theres nothing like a simple int pause() function?

You could also use the EE performance counters or use vsyncs...

i.e.

Code: Select all

#define VSYNCS_PER_FRAME 60  // NTSC, you should really do detection...

for&#40;wait=0;wait<3*VSYNCS_PER_FRAME;wait++&#41;
     VSync&#40;&#41;   //replace this with a real vsync function...
