Hi all,
I have to access to a file on ms0, I saw that I can use the fopen/open C-functions or sceIoOpen .
Are they any avantages to use one or the other ?
thx for your help.

| In my experience the sceIo functions are, for whatever reason, significantly faster than the standard C functions. Last time I checked was when I wrote a program capable of installing multiple custom firmwares. For both reading the DXAR file (a semi-compressed archive of all the files in the firmware) and writing the files onto the NAND chip, sceIo proved to be much faster. |

open and fopen are implemented calling sceIoOpen... and really with sceIo* you have all needed.
The advantages of open and fopen is to make your code more portable. |

Thank you guys for your answers. In fact that's what I feared having the choice between efficiency and portability....
I think I am gonna chose the efficiency.
