[WIP] pymenu, need beta-testers

[Acid_Snake]

Edit: I already confirmed this working on SC3, XMB and Motorstorm (thanks to Dutt). I still need a beta-tester for Everybody Tennis, whoever is interested, here is the base installation:

Once you have those files, update it with this: download/file.php?id=1627

Hi, I need beta-testers for my menu written in python. I don't have VHBL yet so I can't really know if it works.
Anyone interested, here is the instructions:
1- Create a folder named menu.
2- Download psp stackless python:

Code: Select all

http://code.google.com/p/pspstacklesspython/downloads/detail?name=StacklessPSP-2.5.2_R1.zip&can=2&q=

You should have two files: EBOOT.PBP and python.zip, place them in the menu folder.
3- Download the custom interpreter:

Code: Select all

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspdirfix/files/pymenu/custom_python.7z/download

Replace the EBOOT from the stackless python with the one in this archive.
4- Download the menu:

Code: Select all

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspdirfix/files/pymenu/pymenu.7z/download

Place all files in this archive in the same folder as the EBOOT and python.zip
5- Replace HBL/VHBL menu with this one.

Known issues:
This custom interpreter seems to take longer to load than the normal one, about 5 seconds more. The issue seems to be the gcc version used to compile it, but it could also be the modifications done to it.

Notes:
This is a WIP (Work In Progress), which means it's not finished, so no complaining about lack of features or ugliness.

• 1. followed post and put everything in a folder named "menu"
  
  2. copied everything from "menu" to the VHBL save
  
  3. VHBL begins loading but crashes when loading menu

I tried this on my PSP as I hate CMA (and Im not to fond of windows)
later I will try again on my Vita but frankly if it cant run on PSP its not going to run on the Vita

[wth]

lol.
You don't even know how the PSVita exploits really work look, we can't copy folders to PSVita using CMA, only files, so stop using folders first else it's useless testing on a PSVita

Anyway even so, on psp, it works ok on the signed HBL version for me, but crashes on my current vhbl

Lol, I had a look, your python interpreter is using lots of syscalls, so naturally some don't work on 6.60 user exploits
on my vhbl it crashes because vhbl can't call scePowerSetCpuClockFrequency
I you intend to continue, get a vhbl patched game on your psp (since they're only patched on vita) and do all tests using its released vhbl on fw 6.60, else it's useless

yup, I knew something like that would happen

scePowerSetCpuClockFrequency

I'll try to remove that, I see no point in using it.

[fate6]

wait I was supposed to copy the folder ? 0___0

I just copied everything from the folder to the save
(since we cant copy folders I figured that's what I was supposed to do)

either way there's no way any vhbl can load it for now lol, unless you've got some private vhbl exploit with lots of syscalls ^^

[Acid_Snake]

ok, I've found the problem (scePowerSetCpuClockFrequency) to be in pspos.c, I've removed it and it compiled, I'll test it soon.

[wth]

yeah, test on psp 6.60 with any vhbl before anything
and don't forget to remove the need for folders next to your eboot, as cma doesn't transfer folders

[Acid_Snake]

test on psp 6.60 with any vhbl

I'll download SC3 then

remove the need for folders next to your eboot

I can have the fonts and images inside script.py itself, I had that folder for people who want custom backgrounds (randomly selected by the menu), but isn't the menu inside a zip file?
