|
|
Welcome after long break.
I recently started toying with SDK and PSP firmware changes again, and I was very surprised that some of the older hombrew programs don't work on 3.40OE, the very first example out of the top of my head is R-Gear, a R-Type remake.
Does any of you know about compatibility issues related to firmware/SDK version and what to do to avoid them?
Hope it is a good forum to ask this question. If I am mistaken, I hope that moderators will remove this thread. |

| the biggest problem is about aplications using the osk keyboard, the messages api and other things requiring the vsh files of 1.50 which are removed from OE and SE firmwares |

Can you call functions such as sceIoDopen, sceIoDread, etc using the OE firmwares? When I try, I get odd bus errors during my code.
Is there any way of compiling apps using the psp sdk which would be able to use the vsh files? |

| BTW, I checked that R-Gear is actually working on 3.03OE firmware, but not 3.40. Tried to run it from under IRShell, no luck either. No idea what to do about it. |

Nope, there isn't any, or at least I can't find it. |

These functions are part of the kernel, so they don't need the vsh files. Did you remember to clear the SceDirent structure before calling sceIoDread()? |

WTF, ahem, I mean why doesn't it work on mine, then?
Where did you download it from? I got it from PSPUpdates, maybe there is some other version floating around? |
