Post by snowcrash83 »

Onsoaking our current build we are getting an occaisional crash only on the slimline ps2s. Anyone else had any problems with the slimlines?

slim ps2 works fine with ps2dev so far (for me)

Not me. When my slim ps2 crashes, I always manage to find the issue and until now it was always my fault (mistake in code).

For example, if a peripheral (network adapter) fires an interrupt to make you empty one of the queued received packets in its ring and your code ignores it, ps2 will make a nice hang once the ring gets full...

Narrowed it down to loading the sound.
It times out waiting for a thread and crashes.

Now having a problem with the amount we write to the DMA buffer - constantly causing graphics resets. Anyone found a solution to run the slimline at the same capacity as the fat kits>?
