Writing a menu for VHBL

[wth]

Ok well have fun

Hi, I have a short question.

Is it possible to develop the menu and test it on a real PSP first for a shorter development cycle?

And when the menu is stable to test and fix/port it for the Vita PSP Emulator?

Best Regards
Patrick

Yes. VHBL works fine on the PSP, I do most of my dev work by testing wMenu and VHBL on the psp first. You'll just have to take into account the limitations specific to the vita during your development

yes just as long as you have VHBL on the PSP
(I test most things on the PSP before transferring to Vita)

but there are somethings that will work on the VHBl when run on a PSP that wont work on the Vita so always check before a release

EDIT: damn it wololo

@wololo+fate6: Thanks for the quick response. I will see how far I will come with the development. Greets

I have a question with this example code:

Code: Select all

    strcpy(ebootPath, "ms0:/PSP/GAME/TEST/EBOOT.PBP");

what exactly is strcpy? a function? a class? also wouldn't be needed to be declared first? or is it somehow imported from hbl?
I'm sorry for being a noob.

It's a function that copies a string into another string ( "ebootPath" in this case ).

It's already declared somewhere, or else you wouldn't see it implemented as you see it now.

To use it though, the header file it's defined in would have to be included.

If you don't know what strcpy() is, I suggest you get a good book about C and start learning on a computer. C is not Python

oh, ok. I didn't realise it was a standard function, I know C isn't Python, but my brain somehow tries to turn it into python for better understanding.
so... is this more or less how it works?:
- it (the menu) gets the path of the homebrew (according to what the user specifies)
- it uses strcpy() to change ebootPath with the actual path
- it exits, leaving HBL to load the homebrew

Exactly
