Hi Poorkingz There is no way to dump the memory in games. It is not possible for memory card or USB flash drive. so it is not recommaend for you. Actually, yes there is a "way" to dump memory of games. I can do it. Using the EE Serial connection. I can dump the entire contents of RAM to m...

I have created a simple app that sets up a vblank handler and creates a thread. What I am trying to do is when a certain condition is met within the vblank handler, it calls iSuspendThread() on my main thread and then calls iWakeupThread on the thread I created. Mains priority = 64 and my threads pr...

Update: Well I have reset the IOP, load all basic modules from rom0 (SIO2MAN, MCMAN, MCSERV, PADMAN), then try to load usbd.irx and usb_mass.irx from mc0. All goes well until ret = SifLoadModule("mc0:usbd.irx", 0, NULL); is called. The ps2 hangs. And I am calling usbd.irx before usb_mass.i...

As far as I remember of the top of my head, I don't think you need to load rom0:IOMAN for USB support and I think PS2Link already loads a variant of this module in the form of iomanx.irx from PS2SDK, this conflict could be your problem. Well I just tried loading it through ps2link again without loa...

Hello! I have created a simple program that loads the appropriate USB drivers to use a mass storage device. However, I can only run it from uLaunchelf. When I run it from ps2link, ps2link crashes and video output stops (blue screen). int ret; SifInitRpc(0); init_scr()...

I have been tinkering around with threads and can run multiple threads that do different things with no problem. How can I create a thread that runs within kernel memory, so when user memory is reset, it will continue to run? Thx

Wow, that works beautifully. Thank you so much. Such a simple solution.

I have searched around MSDN and the forums here, but I can't figure this out. I have a program start, create multiple threads with the same priority, and everything goes well. My goal was to have one of these threads halt until I pressed a key on my keyboard. This thread communicates with my EE SIO ...

Thanks for all your help. Carefully reading through the Inline Assembly Tutorial that Lukasz pointed me to, and 20 min of fiddling around. I finally figured it out. Heres what I was trying to do. asm __volatile__( "jal\t 0x01bdea28\n\t" ); So simple eh? Heh. One of my previ...

I appreciate it. I know it was useless to make a thread to ask such a simple question. I spent approx 1-2 hrs google searching for the syntax of a j and jal op in asm. I have a basic understand of MIPS and its op codes. I'm just not to sure as of how to write it with the correct syntax in a C source...

I believe its called inline asm. But anyway. In my source code, main() calls and stores a function at a specific memory address. Further within my program, I want to jump to this functions memory adr to execute it. so how would I set this up? asm __volatile__("\n\ j $Address\ "); I know th...

Well I understand what ur saying that if a function has a nop in the middle it will copy half. But I have been using SIOSHELL and insuring that the function that is being copied does not contain any nop's scattered throughout it. the function writes data to specified addresses. So when the nop after...

well instead of NULL i could use 0 or 0x00000000 correct?

and once its in memory I will call it with a JAL (addr)

yay! that method described above worked. used the value 0. idk why i said NULL. stupid me.

Iv been struggling on this one for two nights. I have been trying to copy a function from one place in memory to another. Heres example code... some_function(); /* multiple lines of code within this function */ u32 memory; u32 *buffer, *new_location; buffer = &some_function; memo...

ty very much

I never found it, but o well. Sorry for asking so many questions, but where can I find a list of the Directives that the asm compiler supports?

such as...

.set

.ent

etc'

ahh ok thanks. Also, do you happen to know what the _RESIDENT_ keyword means when declaring a variable? Im guessing it keeps the variable in memory regardless of what tries to erase it?

Oh, so basically __asm(""); allows you to perform assembly operations within your C source code? eh nifty. well so what would this accomplish?

__asm("cross:");

I have searched high and low but I cannot find a header file that contains the function __asm(""); nor its args. I have seen it used such as this...

if(new_pad & PAD_CROSS)
{
__asm("cross:");

more code..
more code..

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Im not pirating. I made a burned copy of my game that i haved owned since the day it came out. Socom II. I was jus wondering why sioshell would lock up the system when you attempt to boot a burned game rather than a retail game. Any ideas? Yeah, but the original game. We don't tolerate piracy here.

Thanks. I got tired of having to copy and paste the text. It caused programs not to compile successfully due to text formatting errors and such. I had to manually edit them. Oh ya.... I have a question about Sioshell (EE Serial App.) After executing the elf and typing exec rom0:OSDSYS in my terminal...

Ahh i see the args... One last thing though. How can I connect to the SVN with a FTP client such as filezilla?

Do I need a username and password?
Port 21?
connect to: svn.ps2dev.org

thanks for your help

I read somewhere on a forum that you could force ps2link to load an ELF into different parts of memory (pass an argument maybe?).
ex: Highmemory, default, etc. I always thought the start address was specified in the header of the ELF. If ps2link can do this, how? thanks

Has anyone gotten the ymodem recieve and send function to work using a windows based terminal app? If so, what are you using? Thanks

My last issue is recieving data blocks using ymodem and the recv command. I type recv 0x100000 8 The program slowly prints constant C's to the terminal app. CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.... Im not sure if I am supposed to use the receive command built into hyperterminal or what. I get a "No Packet" me...

Well, I found out that the problem was that the metal HDD housing inside the ps2 had spliced the rxd wire, creating a short. Now I fixed it and the program works great. I jus dunno how to execute elfs. it says... help exec exec elfname [arg1 arg2 ....] Im assuming that the arguments are the start ad...

Well. I finally obtained the stub file that the compiler required. The n2e-kmode-1d00-stub. Now when I execute the ELF on my ps2 through ps2link or Launchelf, the app prints this to my console PC. SIO:Framing Error SIO:Framing Error SIO:Framing Error SIO:Framing Error SIO:Framing Error SIO:Framing E...

I think I may have found the problem. I have been entering all the source into notepad and saving them as the filename specified. This creates spacing errors and improperly formatted text. What text editor should I be entering this information into? Maybe I should enter it into Dev C++ and save it w...

Thanks for the tip. I didnt realize such a minor thing as the case of a letter could cause so much havoc. However, I am still running into errors. I even renamed all the .s files to capital .S. I also recopied and pasted the code from the svn. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thx. http://i35.photo...

I have had some trouble compiling this thing. First, the compiler was giving me an error saying cc1 was no such file or directory. I fixed that. Now I get a large list of exception errors saying "illegal operands" concerning MIPS instruction commands. Those are found within the exception.s...
