Yes...he's right. Never thougt semaphores and parallelization problems are on the same level of string formatting, and the post was not aimed only at you (or at least it wasn't a reply to your question). I just take position when you incentive others to go on other forums because this isn't noob-fr...

Ok, I understand.

Sorry to continue this but I feel quite insulted without a proper reason so I wont run dragging my tail behind me in shame. to know the things i know today, i'm studing (more or less) for 20 years; so seeing people claiming they're proficient in programming while they demonstrate they know NOTHING i...

Sorry, but we get in that kind of mood when people ask about simple things that developers should already know... like how to debug. We aren't here to hold people's hands. You are not here to help? ok good to know, just don't bash freely on people that are sometimes a little bit more noobish than y...

That's not what I meant, I meant for that attitude of being so scornful.

Oh yes, because the little snippets you posted in the opening post would have allowed anyone to see that. :headdesk: I don't think so but noone asked me more details. Noone said it couldn't be because of the semaphores. with some discussion things go forward you know. Lord save us from noobies who ...

We all know that people over here are often rough (to say it nice), J.F. in the first line. But you have to notice that the greatest part of active developers on ps2dev are professionals, and most of them are REALLY sick with children playing to "the greatest hacker". That's why Tyranid a...

First, we already knew how the use semaphores - you'll find examples all over this forum. That's why no one answered your thread - you hadn't bothered to search, so we didn't bother to answer. The fact is, I have bothered to search, I found how to use semaphores here on ps2dev, but my PSP was still...

I got help on QJ, it works now if someone is interested:

I wrote one that can convert any number type to a string: #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; template<class T> inline string toString&#40;T number&#41; &#123; ostringstream ost; ost << number; return ost.str&#40;&#41;; &#125; I think...

Hi, I have searched a lot about this and I thought I've found the proper way to have a mutex but it seems it's not the case, my PSP freezes. can please someone tell me if I do this correctly: I have an object that will handle a thread internally let's call it ObjWithThread . This ObjWithThread conta...

sorry to bother again, but could someone share a recent compiled lib mad (.a and .h)? I still have no connection at home and can't access any svn from my work.
I can give you my mail by PM.

Thanks.

So it really is a buffer problem..
If I manage to write an mp3player with proper buffer handling, (ie: when at the end of the MP3 file, continue with the start of the file), it will be fine then?
If so, I was right and I need some help!

Ok thanks, I'll see if I can make an AT3 file loop correctly.

Hi, I have a really hard time figuring out how to make a sound loop perfectly. I tried OSLib's inbuilt functions with BGM (oslib special sound format) and MP3, and I can always hear the gap between 2 loops. I searched other ways to play my MP3 in a loop and got a bit lost... I *think* all MP3 player...

Your high score tables have pointers in to other data structures?! Come on, .net style serialization isn't necessary here. True, score tables can be done like you said, it's just that I want to do things properly if I can, and serialization can be useful for other things like data transfer between ...

Jim wrote:Just use fread/fwrite on the whole data structures. Way easier than writing out all the elements by hand.

Jim

this may work with simple structures, but with pointers or members containing pointers (std containers for example) only the memory address will be written and not the data pointed.

As long as C++ does support polymorphism, inheritance and the other nice things we are used to, generic serialization through so called "reflection" is something commonly done only by managed code (java,.net,mono). With this i'm not teling this cannot be done (if code has to be polymorphi...

Hi, is there a library somewhere I can use for serializing my objects? I found that but it's not usable on cygwin. did someone already do serialization on his own? I need it for saving profiles (scores etc) into binary files for a beginning but I think I'll need it if I implement multiplayer one day..

thanks for the links.

sorry to bother you again but can someone please upload the sources of psplink somewhere I can get them by http? I can't connect to the svn here from my work (proxies and evrything) and I won't have internet at home for a while?
thanks.

thanks moonlight, I just hope I'll figure out how that works.
edit: pspiofilemgr_kernel.h does that mean it won't work on slims? or that I'll have to do smth different given the psp version?

Thanks for your answers. I don't really know how to do it, but i feel that adding virtual drives overhead only to avoid writing down a couple of paths and configuration strings doesn't look like a good programming practice... If you know how to do it by only writing down a couple of paths and config...

That's some code I found and mixed together to see if a file is a file or a folder. I don't know why the "for" loop is there but that works. If you want to test if it's a file rather than a folder, replace "FIO_SO_IFDIR" with "FIO_SO_IFREG": bool isFolder&#40;string...

Hi, I've searched for a while but haven't found what I need, maybe someone has an answer... What I'd like to do is mount a virtual drive pointing to a data file (in iso-like format). I need this so I can "pack" my external files for my homebrews in a transparent way: I could then use c++ s...

Don't know if people are still interested in this, but I'm working on that problem using "Bitmap Font Builder". I'm developping a lib in Lua to recognize those characters and generate a bitmap of the text for you to blit. I'm just afraid this will be slow I don't know.

Hi, I'm willing to make a card game for the psp. For the moment, the only thing it does is drawing all the 118 cards available on screen, and shuffles them when pressing on select. I'm quite a noob with lua for the moment, and my game crashes randomly. It's a pain I really don't see what is wrong. C...

Hi, I'm new to Lua in general and I wish to develop a game for the psp. My first pb is when I try to write characters with accents on screen (I'm french, so I'd like to write éèàê and so on). So I'm using that code: screen&#58;print&#40;150,150,"é"&#41; and all it does is print...
