I dig this plugin..

but it needs to have some info about active plugins,

a way to set the hotkeys, and a way to turn the screenshot on or off if desired.


thanks for the great work!


edit:


doesn't work


Nothing happens when I hit L+ vol+


and its enabled..

and it worked before I updated it.

Don't worry i've taken consideration of it and will be in the future releases.
I have many plans to expand its features since I've also came from being a
mere PSP user that also have so many wishes to have :smile:

[alkartiz]

<p>for some reason ver1.1 wont run on my psp, but v1 was able to display the system info....</p>

[silver_surfer]

@ alkartiz:

try to reboot your psp

[aero125]

Mine failed to work too. Nothing happen when I pressed L and Vol+.

The earlier v1.0 worked but displayed the MS with an inaccurate size.

I rebooted the PSP and checked again that crossext.prx was enabled at recovery in vsh and game.

Still cannot activate......... what's wrong ??

[biro]

<p>The menu looks awesome!</p>

[aero125]

Something new. Just tested and found out :-

v1.1 failed to work on my PSP2006 (TA-088 2g slim), but the earlier v1.0 can. My PSP2006 is running 401M33-2.

Both v1.0 and v1.1 worked on my PSP2000JP (TA-085 2g slim). My PSP2000 is running 390M33-3.

I too have a TA-088 2g slim.


is this why it's not working for me either?


and would it work if I had a lower version MoBo?

I don't think so, try my attachement in my previous post.

[soulburn]

I don't think so, try my attachement in my previous post.

just tried 1.1 and 1.1 test, and both dosn't work. however version 1.0 does. running on psp phat, ta-079v1, jap and 4.01 M33-2.

[silver_surfer]

@ soulburn:

do you have any other plugins beside cross extended? try to delete CONF.BIN inside

seplugins folder and then enter recovery menu and enable crossext.prx [vsh] & crossext.prx [game]

Same here.


Im using a lot of plugins tho.. I'm using HUD, Red Squirrel alternate VSH menu, Joysens, and CXMB.

None of those are enabled in GAME or POPS, but all of them are on in the VSH... including yours (but yours doesn't work)


like I said yours worked before, so I dunno what to say.. but I liked it when it worked :)

[soulburn]

@ soulburn:

Tried this on fresh memstick, with any other plugins. I hope that solution will be find soon, it's very useful and nice-looking plugin ;)

[aero125]

No Nefarious, v1.1test still cannot work on my psp2006 TA-088 2g slim.

v1.1test on my psp2000JP (that's my wife psp !), OK.

Now, I tested v1.1 on my 3rd psp (ha ha, that my son's), PSP2006 TA-085 2g slim. It woked. All the plugins, including others such as fusaSCR, pops, cxmb ... , were all enabled in the recovery. The config.bin was also in the seplugins folder.

So it was unlikely to be due to the presence of all the other plugins or the config.bin ....etc, as seen in both my TA-085 psp2006 and psp2000. Also, the earlier v1.0 worked fine (except the mem stick error reporting) under the same conditions in my TA-088 2g psp2006.

Seems like the explanation lies in the board .... ??

Ic, I'll check out what seems missing in 1.1 where 1.0 has. thanks for the reply:smile:

Here you can try this :

[Nefarious]

(Technical)

The only changes in 1.1 are the:

1. Using control callback instead of sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive which affects when
using this with PSPFiler, LightMP3.. sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive seems to consume
control buffer which in effect the other homebrew cannot intercept the control inputs.

An issue in version 1.0.

As i've observed.

2. Used 2048 stack size on the main thread.

3. Adjustments to compute the memory stick actual size, which final value a u32
cannot handle. so i used u64 instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While lacking resource, I can't test it in different types of PSP that's why its hard for
me to determine other issues. Thanks for your feedbacks, which i can rely on :laugh:

Anyway, I'll continue posting it in this thread for you to test. Thanks for the undestanding.

[Nefarious]

Another test here. Rollbacked control fixes

Since this is a rollback, the control bug is present from 1.0.

But with this, we can tell if the control callback in 1.1

is the issue.

[aero125]

OK, v1.1test2 worked in my psp2006 TA-088 2g slim. Displayed also the correct mem size of 143mb/7691mb in my 8G stick. Sweet .... :biggrin:

[aero125]

So the control callback may indeed be an issue .... for the TA-088 02g slim board.

The TA-085 2g slim boards in my two other psps worked ok before u made the change to v1.1test2.

Btw, do you mean v1.1test2 didn't work on your TA-085 2g?

wow another..


Test2 worked for me pretty well..


but doesnt the Memory stick inserted thing seem a little odd? I mean if any plugin is running it will be from the MS, so wouldn't that ALWAYS say yes no matter what?


and I'd like a version that doesnt display what the plugin is and who made it.. I downloaded and installed it, I know what it is.. and Seeing your names every time is annoying.. Same with Red_squirrels VSH menu..


thanks for hooking it up.. Great work so far!

Im thinking you should try to add in file managment by hijacking the OSK fonts, and folder tree display from the browser.. probably a lot of work, but Ive been wanting to see that plugin forever

No once the PSP started all enabled plugins are loaded in the memory and run without memory stick.

You have a point, and I agree.

Thats exactly what i'm planning for future releases, but as you've said it would be a lot of work

I'm glad of your suggestions since the first release.

[Nefarious]

After 1.1 test2 & 1.1 test3 , It proves the control callback wasn't supported in other PSP's which is very unfortunate, I think.

[Nefarious]

I can't just drop control callbacks, there must be a way

Since done revisions on the code, I've attached v1.2 for testing

[soulburn]

Version 1.2.test1 works for me, however it identifies my mobo version as TA-088+ (1g).

Running on TA-079v1, T/B/P values are:
T: 0x00140000
B: 0x00020600
P: 0x00000103
(same on plugin and DCv6 hardware info).

The Baryon 0x00020600 was not on my mobo list as far as iv'e researched.

Your mobo might not discovered yet. If it was, then there should be available info over the internet but I can't find atleast 1.

Instead i have TA-079v1 Baryon 0x00030600.

Try using jas0nuk's pspindent. and post the image here to confirm.

Nice additions


I like the shutdown and reboot..


and the way its bordered now makes it more readable.


one bug.. THe keypresses don't register for X, O, Square, and Triangle.


and the analog axis thing does nothing (but this might be because I'm using Joysens and have the D-pad and analog on at the same time)


I get some white line at the bottom when it exits (no big deal)


Now all it needs is a way to choose the hotkeys

great work.. and I love how you make new tests every 5 hrs or so.. nice.. If everyone was this interested in working on stuff we'd have TONS of cool shit

[Nefarious]

one bug.. THe keypresses don't register for X, O, Square, and Triangle.

Thats due to changes on control callback. but first, I'd like to make sure if you can see main

interface before i resume coding. As i've said, i can't drop control callback... without this

would interfere other programs/homebrew.

If you cannot see my point, a good example is ver1.0. Enable it while using

PSPFiler 5.4, LightMP3 or AdhocFileTransfer if you can control them properly. Thats

what i've observed. (if you're a programmer you might be familiar in thread race conditions)



and the analog axis thing does nothing (but this might be because I'm using Joysens and have the D-pad and analog on at the same time)

Not yet tested with it. I'll post my observations.

[EDIT]

I've tested it with Joysens 1.42 and it cannot retrieve info of the analog axis (Lx/Ly).

Joysens might have higher control reads for analog stick. I think its normal since it serves its true purpose. (Control Overriding)

thanks for updating! it's working properly now.. :w00t:

by the way I have a different view regarding the display of version & name of the developer of the application..

I'd like to see the version & the name of the developer of the application..

the homebrew & the developer needs enough recognitions.. give credit where credit is due..

just my 2 cents! :smile:

:laugh: hahaha, it's alright but I'll put atleast the version on-screen.

my name would be indicated in readme. Sharing this little app to my

fellow psp user is enough for me though :)


[Edit]

I'd like to officially release ver 1.2, but still waiting for feedbacks.

[silver_surfer]

@ Nefarious:

the first time you release cross extended somebody posted your application in another site..

saying that this homebrew was developed by an unknown developer without even saying the

name of the developer I don't think its fair although he later updated his thread with your name.. :biggrin:

anyway I'll just wait for the latest release.. :smile:

v1.1test2 worked on both the my TA-085 and TA-088 board, after u have sorted out the control call back issue.

v1.1 and v1.1test1 only worked on my TA-085 boards, but not TA-088 board. So the design of the board may have played a part in causing the problem due to the change of programming routine/module in v1.1 as compared to v1.0.


Thanks for testing v1.1test2.

Btw, do you mean v1.1test2 didn't work on your TA-085 2g?

Another test here w/ control callback enhancements:

[aero125]

v1.1test3 OK.

v1.2 OK on both my TA088 and TA085 slims.

Just a feedback :- The letterings (especially the yellow ones) are difficult to read against a bright white background.

The previous coloured background in v1.1test 2/3 makes reading the info easier, and more appealing. 8)

v1.2test2 also worked fine on both my TA088 02g slim psp2006 (401m33-2) and TA085 02g slim psp2000 (390m33-3) boards.

Tested all the hotkeys, OK.

Ive been wanting that theme on 4.01 M33-2 since it came out.. where did you get it? I only ever saw the white one released. I need this... a link would be really appreciated.

and I saw the scrolling thing too.. its like 5 times more sensitive than it needs to be somehow.. moves really far with just a slight touch on the last version... now it kind of freezes the PSP when the D-pad is touched?


and Im getting a slight flicker in the text.

Odd


May I recommend that you try something that hijacks the PSP font, and the standard Grey screen that we always see when we hit HOME in GAME?


I think using the PSP resources is the best way to go. (look at the new DCv6, it looks incredible)

I think theres a way to use the PSP font Library, I remember StrmnNrmn using them on Daedalus. (It's available somewhere on the net I just don't remember where)
