How to make a config file?

[angelo]

Hello, guys. I've coded this EBOOT launcher however I want to make a config file for it so the the can allocate it's target:

Here's my function and what I use to run it:

Code: Select all

//Load_EBOOT Function 
       
      void Load_EBOOT(char *target) 
      {    
      struct SceKernelLoadExecVSHParam param; 
      memset(&param, 0, sizeof(param)); 
      param.key = "game"; 
      param.size = sizeof(param); 
      param.args = strlen(target)+1; 
      param.argp = target; 
      sctrlKernelLoadExecVSHMs2(target, &param);    
      } 

//EBOOT 1 
          
      if (isKeyPressed(KEY_1) && ctrl && alt){ 
      displayStatusText("Loading Application 1..."); 
      sceKernelDelayThread(3 * 1000 * 1000); 
      Load_EBOOT("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/Applications/App1/EBOOT.PBP"); 
        } 

I've come up with this so far:

Code: Select all

int Application_1 = 0; 
       
      // Read the config file 
      int cfg = configOpen("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/AppLaunchConfig.txt"); 
      if (cfg >= 0) 
      { 
      while (configRead(cfg, cfgtoken, cfgvalue)) 
      { 
      if (strcmp(cfgtoken, "Application 1") == 0) 
      { 
        Application_1 = (cfgvalue); 
      } 
         } 
            } 

       
      //EBOOT 1 
          
      if (isKeyPressed(KEY_1) && ctrl && alt){ 
      displayStatusText("Loading Application 1..."); 
      sceKernelDelayThread(3 * 1000 * 1000); 
      Load_EBOOT(Application_1); 
        } 

It gives the following errors:

Code: Select all

ctrlout.c:515: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast 
ctrlout.c:526: warning: passing argument 1 of 'Load_EBOOT' makes pointer from integer without a cast

I also have this in the config file:

Code: Select all

Application 1 = "ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/Applications/App1/EBOOT.PBP" 

Any ideas please?

Anything is greatly appreciated!

See moonlight's config code in his 1.5 cfw proof of concept.

The compiler output is useless since we don't know what lines correspond to the numbers, nor have some of the functions they refer to.

Code: Select all

int Application_1 = 0; 
        
      // Read the config file 
      int cfg = configOpen("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/AppLaunchConfig.txt"); 
      if (cfg >= 0) 
      { 
      while (configRead(cfg, cfgtoken, cfgvalue)) 
      { 
      if (strcmp(cfgtoken, "Application 1") == 0) 
      { 
        Application_1 = (cfgvalue); //LINE AFFECTED
      } 
         } 
            } 

        
      //EBOOT 1 
          
      if (isKeyPressed(KEY_1) && ctrl && alt){ 
      displayStatusText("Loading Application 1..."); 
      sceKernelDelayThread(3 * 1000 * 1000); 
      Load_EBOOT(Application_1);  //LINE AFFECTED
        }

After studying Dark_AleX's code, I still don't get it! Looks all very complex!

I need to do more researh and work so I get this!

int Application_1 = 0;

... this is supposed to be a char*, if anything at all.

Ok... I tried that!

Code: Select all

      // Read the config file 
      int cfg = configOpen("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/AppLaunchConfig.txt"); 
      if (cfg >= 0) 
      { 
      while (configRead(cfg, cfgtoken, cfgvalue)) 
      { 
      if (strcmp(cfgtoken, "Application 1") == 0) 
      { 
        Application_1 = (cfgvalue); //LINE AFFECTED
      } 
         } 
            } 

        
      //EBOOT 1 
          
      if (isKeyPressed(KEY_1) && ctrl && alt){ 
      displayStatusText("Loading Application 1..."); 
      sceKernelDelayThread(3 * 1000 * 1000); 
      Load_EBOOT(Application_1);  //LINE AFFECTED
        }

This time, no errors when compiling, but now my PSP just freezes when I try a boot a game.

Here's the config file:

Code: Select all

Application 1 = "ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/Applications/App1/EBOOT.PBP"

I'm confused as to what's going wrong...

[J.F.]

Are you closing the config file? Might not be your problem, but it's certainly something you should be doing.

Also, cfgvalue is a char array. Is (cfgvalue) a char*? I'd be using &cfgvalue there.
