Snes9x for ps2

[cosmito]

Thank you for the doxygen and graphviz tips. I've also used Codeblocks at the beginning (I think you made a tutorial for using it with the ps2sdk including compiling, right?) but I decided to go for Visual Studio (for browsing code is more powerful, and the express version is free). Thanks for the codeproject file, it would be useful for the searches, could be a good reason to use Codeblocks. I usually use 2xExplorer as a Explorer replacement and Windows, and the search filter is quite good, but of course, it has a generic search tool and some manual work is required, but still less trouble to create a VS project for all sdk

I was testing out the new browser code and it looks like I need to do a bit more work on dirname and basename to get them to work properly with the various paths that work on the PS2. I managed to cut the browser down from 330~ lines to about 50 or so and made it tail recursive. Now just to get my paths to stop being mangled, heh.

its cumming along quite nicely cant wate for a release

I've got basename working, it seems. It works with a wide range of paths now. The only thing left is dirname. I need to fix a special case for paths like "device:/" and that should be about it for the browser. Then I just need to patch in the menu code and make a new gameplay loop...

Seems like your real close to being done can't wait for it.

[ragnarok2040]

I think I have them working fine now. The results almost replicate the same results as dirname/basename on Linux, except for treating the "device:" or "device:/" string as a directory. The last few were testing output with multiple slashes in the path. When I'd worked on it before, I'd only skimmed the surface of the implementation, *_*.

Results:

path     = "/"
basename = "/"
dirname  = "/"

path     = "¥"
basename = "¥"
dirname  = "¥"

path     = ":"
basename = "."
dirname  = "."

path     = "mass0:"
basename = "."
dirname  = "mass0:"

path     = "mass0:/"
basename = "."
dirname  = "mass0:/"

path     = "mass0:something"
basename = "something"
dirname  = "mass0:"

path     = "mass0:/something"
basename = "something"
dirname  = "mass0:/"

path     = "mass0:something/"
basename = "something"
dirname  = "mass0:"

path     = "mass0:/something/"
basename = "something"
dirname  = "mass0:"

path     = "mass0:something/is"
basename = "is"
dirname  = "mass0:something"

path     = "mass0:/something/is"
basename = "is"
dirname  = "mass0:/something"

path     = "mass0:/something/is/"
basename = "is"
dirname  = "mass0:/something"

path     = "mass0:/something/is/there"
basename = "there"
dirname  = "mass0:/something/is"

path     = "mass0:/something/is/there/"
basename = "there"
dirname  = "mass0:/something/is"

path     = "mass0:/something/is/there//"
basename = "there"
dirname  = "mass0:/something/is"

path     = "mass0:/something/is//there//"
basename = "there"
dirname  = "mass0:/something/is"

path     = "mass0:/something//is//there//"
basename = "there"
dirname  = "mass0:/something//is"

I want to see this code, specially the HDD support part, that could be very helpful.

[ragnarok2040]

I'm redoing part of the hdd code now that basename/dirname is working, . The hdd support was split up into quite a few functions, which aren't really needed anymore.

I had a splitpath implementation for Snes9x, which didn't work that well, as I tried to support "hdd0:+partition/..." paths, which was just a virtual path for mounting said partition to a specific mountpoint. There was also a few functions for trying to mount partitions when needed, which also didn't work well, and keeping track of mounted partitions, which didn't seem to work that well, either. A house of cards about to fall down, really.

Now the hdd support is mostly in the device manager, which just lists partitions, and mounts them, giving the mountpoint to the file manager. If there's something specific you need help with, I can post the relevant code or a walkthrough.

[ragnarok2040]

It looks like _splitpath and _makepath are used pretty heavily by Snes9x for some specific features, like IPS patch support, among other things. I have exactly no idea what I was thinking when I made these implementations. For some reason I included support for "hdd0:+partition/path/to/file" style paths with impulsive mounting/unmounting. I made new versions which follow the description on msdn to the letter.

, It feels good working on the actual emulator code now and not just the frontend.

I also finished the new hdd support code. I trimmed it down to 3 simple functions in the end, instead of the 6 or 7 I was using. Another function is used to list partitions for the device manager. I still need to test it, but it should work pretty well.

looks like things are going smooth, so you are close to a public beta / public release?
