Is Ceres the largest asteroid that has been confirmed?

[edepot]

Ceres version 1.0 - homebrew for PSP.
"Asteroids" on steroids.

http://www.edepot.com/game.html




Used very buggy GCC 4.0 compiler. "double" (basically not supported) and "c++" (gxx_personality bug) does not compile correctly. float works but gets complaints about using odd registers. $pc and othe variables doesn't compile in startup.s file without manually editing.

The compiler has problems passing static strings in function calls. Perhaps using memory not allocated correctly.


//////////////

void functionname(const char *str) {
pgPrint(xxx..., str);
// str sometimes gets garbled characters near the end.

}

void xmain() {

functionname("static string:");
}

Don't claim the compiler is buggy if you don't know how to use it, or aren't even using the latest. There's been many posts in the last few weeks about some of the things you claim are buggy, you should search for them.

"double" (basically not supported)

Wrong. Double emulation is fully supported. But since doubles aren't supported in PSP hardware, why would you want to use them?

"c++" (gxx_personality bug) does not compile correctly

Turn off exceptions if you aren't using them. If you are using them, you need to use psp-gcc to link and not psp-ld (you should already be doing this). This has repeatedly come up on the boards.

float works but gets complaints about using odd registers.

You either haven't updated your toolchain or you're passing -march=4000 on the command line.

$pc and othe variables doesn't compile in startup.s file without manually editing.

*Sigh*. If I had a nickel everytime this came up. Anyway, this is fixed by switching to PSPSDK. This has also been discussed at length on the boards.

The compiler has problems passing static strings in function calls.

Never heard of this before, so you'd have to be more specific.

The shining example for proper PSP GCC use is PSPSDK. So you should start there first.

So with all of these 'bugs' you seem to be referring, does this mean that this game is buggy as well? I'd certainly like to know before I download this to my PSP and watch it get bricked.

Do you have to be so disrespectful? Can't you see gorim already indicated that he doesn't like buggy software.

Unless I am missing something, I will take it you mean mrbrown or Mr Closer as he was titled by the whole country of Spain ;).

And I am not being disrespectful(not intentionally anyway). I am asking an honest question. You give us a link to your PSP homebrew saying "Asteroids on steroids"(which sounds like a hella cool game if you ask me) then you go on to report all of these bugs you have with compiling.

It just made me wonder if said software is thus buggy from those problems you were having or if they are just random issues you wish to bring up in a thread you started about PSP homebrew.

Just made me curious thats all. If it is buggy, I will simply wait until a later, more stable release comes out.

[edepot]

do you think mrbrown was disrespectful to the whole country of
spain? anyways I think you are getting off-topic. for the static string
error, I got around it by passing global variables instead of static
initialization within the fuction call. I haven't downloaded the new pspsdk
yet, but I will try it soon. will it brick my computer? ;)

as for the program I think it runs fine. but I haven't been able to
get past level 16 to test it further.

EDIT:
Do you think it is a cool game? I see you don't visit forums on big sites so don't know your opinion yet.

[F9zDark]

Now that I know it runs fine, I will give it a shot. Be back to tell you what I think.
