Basic PS2 Coding..

[SlimPS2_Dude]

Alright, well, I got my PS2SDK up and running properly, and I am trying to do some coding..

I am having a little bit of trouble with booting an .elf file via code..

I have made several attempts at making it work, but I can't seem to figure out what sort of input it expects.

I am currently trying to use loader.c, and pkoLoadElf, which I thought would work like this..

pkoLoadElf("Mass:/Folder/Elf.elf")
pkoLoadElf("Mass0:/Folder/Elf.elf")
etc,..

But thats not working.. I tried variations of that input, but rather than guessing at what sort of input it requires, I figured I would just ask.

Any help would be appreciated.

One obvious error in the above is that you write "Mass" with an uppercase 'M', even though the correct device name is "mass" with a lowercase 'm'. A less obvious error is that the device driver might not like the ":/" sequence (we always filter those into just ":" for the uLE access to mass).

Try something like this instead:
pkoLoadElf("mass:Folder/Elf.elf")

Thank you, its still not working, but I am sure its not because of syntax now.

I might bump this back up later on if I run into any more simple coding problems, rather than making more threads..
