[PS2] POPS stuff & POPStarter

This already solve my problem . I think .

In ps2netbox/ps2usb , there is OPL in flash on board. User can also copy a newer version to memory card .
If opl on memory card is newer than flash , I use ee_core original code for igr .
If no opl is found on moemory card or is older than flash version , I write a new igr handle . Which only call execps2 once ( at launch my opl ) .
Some user said ,igr to flash is not as stable as igr to memory card .


Is it better call execps2 immediately after igr thread is wokeup ?

 

It may be possible to have a simpler method, but you need to provide your own code that does all initialization. Since we do not wish to increase the code size, we just use ExecPS2().

Perhaps it is. But the ExecPS2 syscall will not reset the TLB on its own either, which is why we have additional code for that.
If you do not reset the TLB and the game has changed the memory map, it is possible that the loader will crash.

In late official PlayStation 2 software, ExecPS2() is replaced with a wrapper that reinitializes TLB before calling the real ExecPS2 syscall. TerminateLibrary exists here.

This design of the current OPL IGR mechanism is to prepare a clean EE & IOP state for the loader to run, before actually running the loader.

 

I will try to make a dirty IOP state ,since I must load file from hardware.
Thank you very much !

 

You do not have to change that part. Just load your drivers at the part where it loads the memory card drivers, and SifLoadElf will support your custom hardware.

 

I tried to use sifloadelf ,but it failed .
So I use custom rpc to read from flash . It worked .

After I add a call immediately after igr thread woke up . It seems igr works more stable

 

Some games don't work as spected with HDTV Fix. FIFA Soccer 2004 is an example, my tv shows "not supported" when the game is running, a workaround for that is use standalone GSM.

 

Bonjour à vous tous.

@Vedita BR, je confirme que certains jeux PS1 ne fonctionnent pas ou mal avec la fonctionnalité HDTV de POPStarter, mon équipe et moi-même n'en avons testé que quelques-uns mais les résultats sont là (sur les listes). D'autres jeux n'ont aucune réaction positive, rien ne change, pas d'écran large (16/9).

Bien cordialement à vous tous.

 

Does GSM work with popstarter/POPS ? or this is an idea ?

 

Yes, it works.

 

@englishl1989 any news about new release of PSXVCD?

Is there any chance for beta tests?

 

Hi Julian!
I tried to compile this version on Lubuntu 17.10, but give me a lot of errors / warnings and don't compile anything.



there is a special trick to compile your program??
regards!

 

Try making the definitions the same (s/s64/long long/g)

 

I'm a bit very oxidated with my programing skills
where the definitions are located ("iomanX.h" maybe)?
about the "same", you refer a the same kind of variable?
and what kind of variable?

HALP!!!
thanks in advance

 

In ../fake_sdk/include/iomanX.h, go to line 184, and change any occurances of s64 in that line to long long.

Find the occurrence in iomanX.c and do the same

 

Done!

I did can go a further steps, but i get other error, this is the compiler output

HALP!!

 

I'll take a look at it myself later.

 

I will keep my eye on this
