hi,

I was implementing network stuff based on that sample.

here is the critical code

Just for starters, you should update your psp cfw and your pspsdk. Ever since Sony randomize the nids, it been hard for most developers todo alot of things.

You might look at the network init code I used in Basilisk II. There were issues with how some people were retrying on the network connect that I fixed.

So they've identified more of the states, huh? :) I'll have to update my own stuff some time.

I've edited the above code a bit. It should now work stand alone. You can just load the modules and call the function from any application. If it still doesn't work, then something else is wrong.

I've only loaded the INet modules for TCP/UDP. You'll need to load the HTTP modules if you want to use HTTP (Or you could handle the protocol yourself for simple requests to avoid the bloat/synchronous delay of the Sony modules).
I use this to load the modules:

got it working, first, in order to get the simple net sample running
- wpa and without encryption does not work, just wep (64 and 128)
- it's not running with just one setup for network. In the end I created all possible and iterated through them (every time changing the router settings), once I found a working one, I deleted all the others and it didn't work anymore (wtf?)

in order to get it working on my engine, I had to create a user thread, but this user thread could not read/write files (where I read some configs that failed, but as my logging also writes files, I didn't see that fail).

so, i'm doing it like

kernel thread loads the inet libs
kernel creates user thread
kernel polling user thread (with sleep of 10ms) userthread is initializing networkk
Kernel closes user thread
.
.
.



two tiny questions left
1. is there some permission I need to enabled to get file access on the user thread? (as I would prefer to run everything after the inet lib loading on user side), I didn't really find a doc for the scecreatethread (or whatever the name was, havn't the code here).
2. it shall be ok to do the rest of networking on kernel side, right? (it was 4am when I got it finally running and had not time to test)

Thanks for all your support here :)

Network doesn't work properly from kernel mode. No wonder....
I didn't know you could even get it working to the point you did under kernel mode.

1.50-based homebrew can only use WEP encryption. To use WPA, you have to switch to 3.xx based homebrew.

Also, the network connections list the PSP maintains seems really fragile. I've had to go delete all connections and remake them a number of times.

Why don't we use the normal network dialog from the firmware to establish the connection? In my opinion that would be far more user friendly and it looks more professional.

Well, post some example code and maybe people will use it. :)

[Torch]

Theres a sample in the SDK IIRC which shows how to display the dialog on top while you're rendering with the GU.

[J.F.]

Would that be utility/netdialog? No wonder no one knows about it. :)

I'll have to try adding that into my stuff. Thanks for the tip.

[Torch]

Another reason to use it is the configuration number keeps increasing as you add and delete access point configurations. So you may have large gaps in between. You have to start from 0 and keep incrementing the counter checking to see if that configuration number exists (and hope the user hasn't performed an abnormal amount of additions/deletions of configurations) until you decide to give up incrementing.

I guess you're intended to read the max value from somewhere first if attempting to manually enumerate the configurations. I read somewhere that there can be a maximum of 100 configurations at once (but potentially a 32 bit configuration number).

Much nicer. :)

I think the main reason no one noticed it is because it was in utilities rather than net. NONE of the net examples connect to the net using the netdialog.
