printf help

[jcarelek]

I'm using the ps2sdk from ps2dev.org and I was wondering how I can redirect the output of printf to my TV. I am able to compile and run some of the sample programs such as 'cube'. However the hello program doesn't display anything and I think that's because the output is directed over the network by default. How can i change this so that it displays on my TV screen instead? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I´m a newbie coder myself so I like to see other people trying to learn how to code for the ps2.
the printf function is just for network I think.
if you want the text to appear on the screen use the scr_printf function
init_scr();
scr_printf("Hello, world!\n");

oh ya. i think you have to put this also

#include <debug.h>

and in the makefile add -ldebug to EE_Libs

Thanks, that worked! I only know how to do basic things in C. Do you know a good place where I can find documentation and tutorials on things specific to PS2? For example, I'd like to learn how to create and display graphics and animations.

Im not a programmer or anything, so I don't know how much help any of this will be but...

http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Tutorials - a list of tutorials on the PS2DEV site

In my opinion, one of the best ways to learn something is to see how other people have done it, so you could try looking at some of the homebrew programs source code and example source code.

EDIT;
I guess you could try reading some of the things found here; http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=11523

Also, the PS2DEV forums MIGHT help you; http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewforum.p...fb7000731830f0

There is a lack of proper documentation for the PS2SDK, but you can look at the other completed projects hosted at the PS2DEV SVN.

Alternatively, you can ask some of the more experienced programmers here and @ PS2DEV, but please keep in mind that not all of them are always available.
