Howdy ppl.

I'm trying to get a directory listing of the CD/CDR, using libcdvd 1.5:

strcpy(pathname, "/");

num_files = CDVD_GetDir(pathname, NULL, CDVD_GET_FILES_AND_DIRS, TocEntryList,4000, pathname);

num_files is set to the correct number of files in the root dir of the CD, however, when I try to get the actual directory entry names using:

for(i=0; i<num_files; i++)
printf("%s\n", TocEntryList.filename);

the filename is blank !!!

I've been stuck on this for literally months now, also having tried older versions of libcdvd, and the fioDopen() function.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Jum,

Do you have TocEntryList aligned to 64 bytes?

i.e:
or
Other than that, are you calling CDVD_FlushCache(); before CDVD_GetDir(...); ?

Can't think of any other reasons why it should be misbehaving for you.

oops. aligned to 16 bytes:

struct TocEntry tocEntries[MAX_DIR_ENTRIES] __attribute__((aligned(16)));

I'll try align to 64 and use CDVD_FlushCache()

Damn, I probably says to align to 64 in the PDF manual somewhere :/

Tx tombola

... no luck :(

No mention of aligning 64 in the PDF manual.

Strange thing is that the CDVD_GetDir() returns the correct directory/file count, but the target TocEntry struct data just doesn't get filled.

Reading a file off the CD also works OK.

Perhaps my PS2 dev setup is a bit rotten.

You might be getting messed up due to the pathname. ps2menu.c uses the call above like this:

num_cd_files = CDVD_GetDir(CDpath, NULL, CDVD_GET_FILES_AND_DIRS, (void *)TocEntryList,MAX_ENTRY, NULL);

Note that they pass NULL for new_pathname. Try that with your code and see what happens.
