[question] Ramdrive, with custom mapping?

Post by planetusa »

A few questions come to mind, firstly, has anyone discovered a faster way to write to the memory stick?

But on topic:

I'm considering creating a ramdrive, with it's own custom mapping (if the psp has the ability to do so).

The ramdrive is the easier part, but does anyone know how I could add it to the list of devices, perhaps sceioassign? I'm sure that it would need to be formatted in fat/fat32 for the psp to be able to mount it were it possible te create a mapping (rd0:/ for example).

I think a ramdrive, given the limited write speed of the memory stick, would be beneficial for a few different apps, such as the web browser that I'm co-developing.

Another thing, (if I need a seperate thread for this, let me know), does anyone here have a source code example for creating applications for the psp with plugin support(say to add a flash or java plugin when it becomes available)?


Thanks,
Michael

For memory stick read/write performance, read this thread:

Look at how the "sceIoAddDrv" function is used in gdb-userlib.c in the SDK
It is also used in stdio.c
