pause function

[JJPeerless]

hey..im writing my own pause function..this is what i wrote..seems like it should work to me at least..

void pgPause(unsigned long p)
{
struct timeval curT;
unsigned long startTime, endTime,curTime;
sceKernelLibcGettimeofday(curT,0);
startTime = (curT.tv_sec*1000000) + curT.tv_usec;
endTime=startTime+p;

while(curTime<endTime)
{
sceKernelLibcGettimeofday(curT,0);
curTime=(curT.tv_sec*1000000)+curT.tv_usec;
}

}

however, the psp freezes up..? help?

Code: Select all

int sceKernelDelayThread(unsigned int usecs);

This will delay the current thread for at least the amount specified in the usecs argument (microseconds, of course).

The PSP's kernel uses a cooperative scheduler, so you have to deliberately yield your thread in order for other threads to execute. Your method blocks the CPU.

well, im trying to "pause" a while loop..

like i have something like this

while(condition)
{

dosomethingcool();
wait(100 milliseconds);
}

i wanted it to so i can pause between each "step" in a while loop

if i sleep the thread..the while loop still goes, but the psp fucntions just stop..so only some of the "dosomethingcool" get put to the screen..

if you sleep the thread, then the whole thread should sleep (crazy huh), not just the "psp functions".

it should work just like you said:

while(condition)
{
dosomethingstrange();
sleep(100 milliseconds); // the loop stops here for 100 milliseconds!
}

hmm yea..it is working..its just my dosomethingcool() i guess isnt..

let me look over my code..and ill repost =)
