How to use pcsx2 host file system on a homebrew?

**kouky** · 03-12-2012,07:46 AM

Hello,

I am trying to debug my homebrew app PS24VJ within the emulator.
My app requires loading external files... That working fine on the real hardware using mass:/ but can't get it to work on the emulator.
I have ticked the host system option, tried with host:/, cdrom:/ but no luck.

Where can I find documentation about this host system feature?

Thank you

From what I know about the host: device, it isn't too good.

It seems to have been introduced with the PCSX2 v0.9.8 official release, and older versions that were downloadable from their main download page lack that feature totally.

It's also not enabled by default, which meant that the user has to enable it by checking the "Enable host filesystem" option under the System drop-down menu option.

The device is host:, and doesn't seem to work under certain circumstances that I don't remember right now (But it's related to accessing the device from an usual location... was it the IOP?).

And it's also incomplete; The stat() function is not implemented.

Thanks for your help, i made it work, unfortunately can't post code here, the forum says i need to be registered for at least 30 days to post links.
No links were embeded in my code, but nayway, can't post it.

I still can't find a way get content of dirs the same way it's working on the console. That's fine, just opening file through the emulator is fine for debugging.
