mcload 1.0 released

[mc]

Hi guys.

I have now released version 1.0 of my bootloader, which is the next
step after the otheros demo. By introducing new exciting features
such as a USB stack and harddisk I/O, this program can actually
do something useful, namely load other programs, including both
"otheros" .bld's and Linux kernels.

http://mc.pp.se/ps3/mcload.xhtml

To compile it, use the very nice toolchain by ooPo.

works great now all we need is some ssh support :)_o

Wonderful! Thanks a lot!

(for people who have trouble with .xhtml, download it, rename it into .html, then guess the relative link to the .zip inside it)

but when i tried it
it said
no config file found,
press enter to return to game-os

so loading a config didnt work, keyboard didnt work and return to game-os only worked with powerbutton :$

Any clues for me ?.?
I would like to call out for an InputLib or a framework so we can get most input devices supported :-)

i guess im just to lame to make a config :$

when using the function usb_kbd_getc(), how can you tell if the up button has been pressed?

can you do

if(usb_kbd_getc() == UP)
{
blabla;
}

or is there a command thats not supported yet or one that i dont know about?

I invented the following codes for the arrow keys:

0x11 : right
0x12 : left
0x13 : down
0x14 : up

(these codes are defined as "device control" in ASCII, so they don't
collide with any normal keys)

thanks, im surprised that your sample programs/releases has led to nothing else being made or released, or have i completely missed something

EDIT: any link where i could find them?

i found one here: http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.shtml but it didnt have the same codes

Somehow I didn't find this until now, great work mc!

I'll definitively tinker with this a bit, maybe see if I can get Sixaxxis working over USB.

You'll want to look at Pascal's hidd patch at http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html

I've put some stuff in the wiki at http://wiki.ps2dev.org/ps3:hardware:sixaxis about the packet structure which might be useful too.

ooooo, this is really nice mc! Can you please investigate, reading USB mice? I'm going to be looking at your samples as I port SDL! :) Awesome work.

USB mouse (and other input device) protocol specification is here:

Knock yourself out. :-)
