I'm confused... all I see are screenshots and changes to colours of icons and text. Have you done any coding for this at all? Is it usable in any shape or form? You have some very high hopes/targets so it's a very interesting project but I just don't understand what you've done so far. It looks like...

Brunni I'm still using it! Something I added to the library myself was loading PNG images from an unsigned char array (so I can compile them all into the eboot). The basic code is at the bottom if anyone wants it. It would be pretty cool if the same could be done for .wav's and .bgm's? (I had a go b...

Basically, move the oslPlaySound in front of the loop so it's only called once before the loop, rather than every single time the loop is called. i.e., try something like this: //Loop for music oslSetSoundLoop(music[0], 1); //Play music oslPlaySound(music&...

Re: ok

But it's a little different when you need to show visuals of them running diagonally. As I said before, if it checked for diagonal at the beginning of an if block with everything in it, shouldn't it work? Yep, it is and yes that should work if you do the if-statements right. It's pretty untidy (imo...

Re: ok

so, now i just add all the diagonal checks in a sperate if block and it should work? Same with the dpad right? Well, I spose that's one way of doing it. The code I showed you basically did two things - first it checks if the joystick has moved sideways. Then it checks if it has moved vertically. If...

I've pretty much got a little guy running around one screen, and I need him to run diagonally. Ok, in that case the code I posted should definitely help you. The problem was that your code was basically only checking if the joystick had moved up OR down OR left OR right. It wouldn't detect if the j...

Installing my own exception handler (from another piece of code) gave the same black screen and shutdown.

I have been using psplink, but unfortunately my program finds it hilarious if it only crashes when I'm not ready for it - especially when I'm not debugging!

I'm betting this is really simple but it's driving me mad. My game works fine, however I'm now trying to add an exception handler to catch an occasional crash that never happens when I want it to. I've done this by adding 'pspDebugInstallErrorHandler(NULL);' at the top of main() and included pspdebu...

1. ET uses modified Quake 3 engine. Even that has not yet been ported to PSP.
2. Only the GAME code for ET has been released. The ENGINE code has not. You need both to port ET to another platform.

Combination of the two above points mean this is very unlikely to happen.

That's very strange, looks like you have no access to the VRAM (??). To make sure, can you try this please? (in a simple program that does this and exits then). u32 *ptr = &#40;u32*&#41;0x04110000; *ptr = 0xaaaaaaaa; Does it crash? Nope, it went back to the eLoader normally. It did not crash.

Are you checking if your file has loaded into VRAM or do you just assume that it did and it crashes when you try to draw or do something with the image ? I have an oslAssert check the pointer that oslLoadImage gives me back. However, this isn't throwing up anything so you're right - it's not clear ...

Again, the program works fine 2 or 3 times, but next time it will throw up a fatal error naming the file it just tried to load. So it sounds like it's failing to load the images aft...
