Listen to what the people are saying. There is a small check in the IPL for R Trigger and it launches recovery if found.

When reboot.bin is decompressed from loadexec (which call is hooked), rebootex is loaded from systemctrl and gzip decompressed. The decompressed data is stored at 0x88FC0000 and the jump into the reboot.bin is patched to jump to systemctrl's rebootex. From here various patches (including psp*.bin) a...

I don't think so.

There is sample code (well I guess) for 5.00 and 5.02 if you wanted it?

Try and use the VLF handlers for the controller input.

Thats very lazy doing that. Just make a stub...

Or truncate the header and add ".gz" to the filename.

I'll just load a usermode prx in the volatile memspace and leech off the paf libc =P

Is there any other alternatives? #include <pspkernel.h> #include <pspsysmem_kernel.h> #include <pspsdk.h> #include <systemctrl.h> #include <string.h> #include "debugutils.h" PSP_MODULE_INFO&#40;"UserHook", 0x1000, 1, 0&#41;; #define MAKE_CALL&#40;a, f&#41; _sw&...

Are you sure its usermode? Not just a kernel mode function being called from usermode?

Just call the function normally (sceAudioOutputPannedBlocking). That should work assuming you aren't in usermode.

Torch, you won't have to worry about heaparea1.prx in 5.00. They deleted it along with heaparea2.prx. I guess that either paf or vshmain have inherited the memory allocation, probably paf. Thanks for the info. I hope that the vshargs problem is also gone. I sent you a PM. Regarding the PM, is it po...

I'd rather not. I believe user memory is very limited in VSH. I'd rather keep away from it.

It crashes when the patched function is first executed. Damn.

I'll give that a shot. I'll post back with results.

Hmm, I'm trying to not load another module. Surely there is a way to execute a usermode function under kernel mode?

Right, this is a bit of pain lately. I'm hooking various functions located in the Paf and I can correctly replace the JAL's with the Syscalls to the function in my kernel module. However, when I try to call the original function (in Paf) it always crashes (obviously). I am however at loss as I do no...

Yeah...

You have no idea what you are saying, do you?

I've tried and tried to get the syscall of my function (which is exported to usermode) but it keeps returning 0x8002013a. I've tried loading a module that has the function linked then trying to get the syscall, which still, returns 0x8002013a. Any help? I'm on firmware 4.01M33, Phat PSP, Erm.. Loadi...

As to avoid the vshctrl hooks?

vlfGuiGetLanguage (I think thats it) returns an int. Which integers represent which language?

Check the systemctrl.h from the m33 sdk. There is a a modulestart handler which you can detect if the game you want is loaded.

And I still don't understand what is LIBC T_T

LIBC is pretty much your standard C library functions. stdio.h, stdlib.h, stdarg.h, malloc.h, string.h etc

Lol, now you are insulting me just because I was right about it not being mandatory. You don't know how I code and you never saw any of my code. And you don't even know if the prx plugins I was talking about were personal prx or not. Well you just said that you don't export module_start... I could ...

You said it is mandatory and you have just said that it might work.
:)

Yeah, I bet you're totally inlove with your unstable programs...

If isn't exported, it'll make module_start the first function in the module, which LoadCore will jump to directly, although this might work, you are running in a vurnable and low priority thread, and crashes might happen faster than when exporting it like normal.

I know but we were not talking about that, we were talking about the "slow down". Exactly... The number of conditions (n) in a single if can also be represented as n if statements. The actual if CAN cause slowdowns, as it is an instruction, but its so small. Your example is terrible btw.

@Super Sheep, wtf.

Exporting module_start is mandantory.

it is better to use switch (when you can) instead of many if's. It makes your code neat and clear. I don't know about speed but it might be the same. Remember that if's can make things VERY slow. Example: char charv&#91;200&#93;; sprintf&#40;charv, "my name is blablabla"&#...

Let's wait and see

Well, module_start is mandantory...

Thanks a lot. I'm was writing my own paging function for a while. xD

This should quicken my work. Thanks again =D

No it's not. My function can actually do something. Yours will constantly return 0. So the PSP will detect no buttons pressed. However i guess you're right since thats what he wants to do for some reason =/
