Bu out of range I mean that the you are indexing outside the gunner array. A common way to do that is off by one, say, you have 3 gunners and pass i=3 to the function. Or calling function with uninitialized variable, etc. Make sure i >= 0 && i < maxgunners.

I'm pretty sure the variable 'i' is out of range. You write to the gunner array the first time just after the 'bench 6'. Often reading out of bounds will just read off garbage, but writing there is nastier. Random nit-pickings ;) - It is a good habit to initialize your variables - You can remove a c...

IIRC PSP operates on 3.3v, so unless you want to use external power supply, the LM8500 is out of the question. LM8300 is 3.5v model, might work fine with 3.3v too. Some other controllers operating at 3.3v: Texas Instrument's TSC2005 is another one too: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/sbas379a/sbas379a.pd...

"Four Wire Resistive Touchscreen Controller" gets you pretty far :) I'm sure there are some example hobbyist projects around too.

My best guess is that you use iNumberOfGroups the wrong way. Say you have iNumberOfGroups = 1, and allocate 1 object, then tmpObj->ObjMeshPart[iNumberOfGroups] will access out of bounds. Off by one... If you want to access the last object and iNumberOfGroups is the number of objects, then it is tmpO...

This is kinda common problem. The problem is that different APIs define the texture in different ways. Some assume that the 0,0 texture coordinates are top-left, some bottom-left.

If your lights are in general smooth shapes, then you could easily render to 120x68 texture and then render that on top of your current framebuffer.
