Purple Screen of Despair

[xsolonx]

Steveg's solution worked for me, could not get it to load ever in the normal game folder, moved it around and no problems since. Running a PSP 1000 on 5.00 m33-6

ok, long story short: found 5 libs in JGE/lib/psp (libfreetype.a, libjpeg.a libmikmod.a, libpng.a, libz.a) which i have replaced with actually compiled libraries (2 days ago, with the most recent psptoolchain, sdk and libraries from pspdev.org).
Et voilà, it works!!
started wagic 10 times, never got the "Purple Screen of Despair".

I recompiled JGE using the library you provided and recompiled the last R1234... I was exited as didn't get any PSD twice in a row... but I had a crash (game crashed when I tryed to play a drain life on opponent) after that I had a PSD...

I've played several game since and had several PSD as well... and although it really decreased the number of occurence of PSD I did not fully get rid of it....

Just wanted to report... I can just hope I maybe made a mistake somwhere...

Okay, I think I have something. I kept getting the PSD when on my 5.00 m33-6 PSP TA-082 with the 1.50 kernel installed. So, I downgraded to 5.00 m33-4 via hellcat's recover flasher 1.50. It worked, every time, no PSD. Then I got another PSP, TA-086. I flashed that from 5.50 GEN-D2 to 5.00 m33-6 via Hellcat's recovery flasher 1.60. I installed the 1.50 kernel and tried out wagic. I have tried several times and no PSD. I am running all of the same things on this PSP as i did on the other one (which I upgraded to 5.50 GEN-D2, I haven't tried Wagic on that yet). The only difference is the motherboard. So please help me out here and post your firmware and motherboard type and whether or not you get the PSD to see if my theory is correct. I know this doesn't help those with TA-082 if this is the case, all I can say is 5.00 m33-4 works on TA-082, not sure about GEN because I am just starting with it, maybe you guys can help me there.

Did you also recompiled libhgetools.a and libjinput.a? I think libgif.a is obsolete, but i did not looked deeply into the source code.
Can you give me a hint, that I can reproduce your crash? (I'm really new to this program, and not a super-programmer... )

Nop I did not recompiled the other libraries... just used the ones you provided... I must admit I would not know how to compile them...
If you can either provide a link to the compiled one you have or give a step by step instruction I would be happy to test it...

Regarding the crash... the game simply crash sometimes... In this case I was just casting a drain life (RV) not sure if it reproductible.. but I wanted to test it anyway...

Thanks in advance..

ok... then...
1. (step by step) if you are using cygwin or linux
goto JGE directory
type: make -f Makefile.hge clean all install (it then places the libhgetools.a in lib/psp)
type: make -f Makefile.input clean all install (it then places the libjinput.a in lib/psp)
goto mtg directory and rebuild EBOOT.PBP

2. (download) here

btw, can you send me your deck, which produced the crash?

Thanks,

I managed to build hge and input (was not the issue) but I don't know how to built or (re)built the other one...especially libgif but I already made fresh compile of WTH without it and will test it later...

Regarding the deck it was a random deck (in random deck mode that you need to unlock).

I did not managed to compile libgif tooo....
when I disassembled libgif.a, i saw that it makes references to XWindow-functions which are in libx11.
I think x11 has something todo with linux not psp... so, obsolete.
maybe I'm wrong.

Hi, I'm experiencing PSD problem too. I was trying to manage why the hell is that happening and why is it so random. Tried all kinds of stupid tricks like rebooting and so on. Changed EBOOT file with 3 different versions. This bug is random no mater what. Now I'm afraid to not able to run Wagic at university xD
BTW anybody tried to format memory stick ?

Also following the instruction from WosRet:
- compiling hge and input lib anew
- using the lib he provided
- Compiling JGE and WTH anew with last SVN...

I did not had any PSD so far... which is clearly related to the lib since I used to have 90% of PSD prior to this change...

So... for now I cannot assure the bug is away but at least the occurence has been drastically reduced... I played for around 4 hours without a single occurence of PSD starting again, crashing, home button leaving and starting again.. etc...etc.. no PSD...

Big thanks for that...
