 Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:13 am Post subject: Make a PRX load in a certain game. [Solved] |
 |
|
Is it possible for a plugin to load in a specific game? The plugin one of my team has made has been designed specificly for Go! Messenger and causes a LOT of problems in other applications. The plugin is launched by a PRX engine.
I found this, but I'm not sure if it is usefull:
| Code: | /**
* Gets the api type
*
* @returns the api type in which the system has booted
*/
int kuKernelInitApitype();
/**
* Gets the filename of the executable to be launched after all modules of the api.
*
* @param initfilename - String where copy the initfilename
* @returns 0 on success
*/
int kuKernelInitFileName(char *initfilename);
/**
*
* Gets the device in which the application was launched.
*
* @returns the device code, one of PSPBootFrom values.
*/
int kuKernelBootFrom();
/**
* Get the key configuration in which the system has booted.
*
* @returns the key configuration code, one of PSPKeyConfig values
*/
int kuKernelInitKeyConfig(); |
I want to do something like this:

| If you know the module name of the game, it shouldn't be too hard to code... |

| Check the systemctrl.h from the m33 sdk. There is a a modulestart handler which you can detect if the game you want is loaded. |

If you want to detect just GO MESSENGER, you could use sceKernelInitFilename to know the path of the file, read it, check if it is a pbp, if it so, read the sfo and compare the game code with the one of GO MESSENGER.
This wouldn't work with hombebrew pbp's because they all use same gamecode, but it will work for GO MESSENGER. |

Thanks Moonlight! Best help ever!
I managed to extract the Disk ID from the SFO it's ULES00856.
So would I just do this?
| Code: |
if sceKernelInitFilename(ULES00856);
{
pspSdkLoadStartModule("module.prx", PSP_MEMORY_PARTITION_KERNEL);
}
|
or
| Code: |
if sceKernelInitFilename(ms0:\PSP\GAME\APP\ULES00856\EBOOT.PBP);
{
pspSdkLoadStartModule("module.prx", PSP_MEMORY_PARTITION_KERNEL);
}
|
Is that how it works? the SDK is a little brief... :-/

I did this:
| Code: | LoadDrivers("ms0:/seplugins/pikey/inputdrivers", 1);
if (kuKernelInitFileName("ULES00856"))
{
LoadDrivers("ms0:/seplugins/pikey/GoK", 0);
}else{
LoadDrivers("ms0:/seplugins/pikey/outputdrivers", 0);
}
sioPrint("--- All plugins loaded ---\r\n");
displayStatusText("piKey is now ACTIVE"); |
No errors, but the system isn't working.
The Disk ID of Go! Messenger is ULES00856 and when it's running I want the PRX's in the "GoK" folder to load. Otherwise, then just the modules in "outputdrivers".
I'm quite confused.

I would go for an easy way :
If(!findmodulebyname("go module name")) selfstopunloadmodule; |

I get that... it's just knowing what the Go! Messenger module is!
I'm off to school now, but I'll have another bash at it tonight.

EDIT: Ahh! Brainwave. Like many common Sony EBOOTs, they load a DATA.DRM file. Maybe I can test to see if that counts as a module. |

Grrr! I'm getting anoyed now! I've been doing this for 3 days and it seems I'm getting nowhere!
Here's my code so far:
| Code: |
if (kuKernelInitFileName("GoMessengerClient")){
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/HomebrewDrivers/piKeyGOKOut", 0);
}else{
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/HomebrewDrivers/piKeyDanzeffKOut", 0);
} |
All I need is a simple IF statement to see if Go! Messenger is running and I'm unable to retrieve any information from it!
Any help? |

It's odd... the plugin works great in Go! Messenger, but just causes issues in other applications! Ironic eh?
I've been trying for hours to get this to work. I know the game code is "ULES00856", but I'm not sure how to see if ULES00856 is running. I've tried using modules and other stuff. Grrrr!
Any help please guys? I'm completly stuck!

You're using the function wrong... look at the definition in the header file:
| Code: | /**
* Gets the filename of the executable to be launched after all modules of the api.
*
* @param initfilename - String where copy the initfilename
* @returns 0 on success
*/
int kuKernelInitFileName(char *initfilename);
|
Look closely at the initfilename parameter: it's the string where the name is COPIED, not a string to search for. You need something more like:
| Code: |
char name[512];
kuKernelInitFileName(name);
if (!strcmp(name, "GoMessengerClient")){
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/HomebrewDrivers/piKeyGOKOut", 0);
}else{
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/HomebrewDrivers/piKeyDanzeffKOut", 0);
} |

Thanks J.F.K!
I haven't been on my PC in a while due to school. I'll try it out when I get home.
I may even use the DisplayTextStatus as a debug so I can see what value i'll have to type in.
Thanks!

Fixed it!
| Code: | InitVars();
gvshmode = waitForModule("sceVshBridge_Driver");
GoMessengerRunning = waitForModule("GoMessengerClient");
if (gvshmode)
{
sioPrint("Detected VSH mode\r\n");
// sleep here to avoid corrupting the startup animation
sceKernelDelayThread(1 * 100 * 1000);
}
else
{
sioPrint("Detected GAME mode\r\n");
}
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/InputDrivers", 1);
if (GoMessengerRunning){
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/HomebrewDrivers/piKeyGOKOut", 0);
}
LoadDrivers("ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/OutputDrivers", 0);
sioPrint("--- All plugins loaded ---\r\n");
displayStatusText("piKey is now ACTIVE"); |
Runs as smooth as silk. Thanks guys! |
