Trying to use Message Dialogs

3r Ch4mp1 · Post by **3r Ch4mp1** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 8:39 am

Hi, i'm trying to implement message dialogs to my cf plugin, but as I read user functions cannot be used from kernel modules in 3.XX firmwares.

I saw an utility.prx kernel module which has the message dialog fucntions I want, such as sceUtilityMsgDialogInitStart.

How can access to them? If the only reachable are the user ones, doing a user thread should be enough to use them inside the plugin?

Thanks in advance, hope you all understood my questions.

There's an example in samples, but as posted above, no go with CFW.

A good example, PSPUAE. Tries to use message dialogue, works with some
fw, not others. Then it sux that FOL even tried to use it becuase some users
won't see the message.

Thanks guys you confirmed my suspects.

Side note: Lets stop the PRX madness. Now, shall we?

I develop a PRX because I wan't to do it and know how to do it, not like other people who wants to start programming with kernel modules when the logic step is beginning with EBOOTS

Seen this thread a few times, but was never registered to answer. If you look at the source, you will see that I never used them, RIC added them.

Uhm.... the sample DOES work on 3.71 - for me at least... Just add BUILD_PRX=1 and EXTRA_TARGETS=EBOOT.PBP to Makefile.

I updated the sample (and the other utility samples) to work under the 3xx kernel a while ago.

I know it works... I posted it back when FW 3.10OE's where we had a problem with kernel user module sepearation etc.

BTW, I am using one already and can confirm too that it works
