Hi all :)

I've just installed the toolchain and pspsdk on Ubuntu 8.04.

The SDK examples compile and turn into eboots successfully, but when I try to run them on the PSP from the memory stick under /PSP/GAME/appdir I get a blank screen for about 10-20 seconds following the initial sony game boot screen and sound, then the entire console just switches completely off with an audible 'pop' noise from the speakers. </GiantSentence>

The battery is fully charged, and normal games on UMD work fine.

The PSP is running 3.90 M33-3 firmware from Dark Alex. Is this a problem?

Perhaps it's something obvious I'm doing/not doing - I've only just got a PSP, and most of the homebrew I've tried refuses to work, but I think this is a seperate issue - eg most is designed for the 1.5 kernel or an older version of custom firmware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hmm looks like there was a bug with a recent repository commit that might be causing this.

now I just have to work out how to check what revision I built from and if necessary how to update the toolchain and pspsdk if it's the affected revision.

Your problems sound exactly like the issues caused by the few previous revisions,

Here is what you need to do...

cd psptoolchain

svn update

./toolchain.sh

Thanks very much, that solved the problem!
