2.01 Firmware+0.99 eloader = ReCompile 0.4.2 src

[hanishkvc]

I have PSP with v2.01 Firmware. And use 0.99 elooder with TIFF exploit.

Problem (Solution is below)
-------------------------------------
When I tried using the 0.4.2 snes9xTYL (standard) it initialy while starting gives a error telling unable to create OSPC Playback thread and continues. Later when I try selecting any ROM for playback, it loads the ROM and then some messages come wrt using default settings etc and then the PSP reboots.

Solution (just recompile from source)
-------------------------------------------------------
I found that sceKernelCreateThread seems to be the culprit (from src code). However when I tried creating my own simple program which uses sceKernelCreateThread IT worked, so something seemed fishy.

So I RECOMPILED 0.4.2 src using latest PSPSDK and default PSP toolchain at ps2dev.org. And this version of 0.4.2 works properly in my PSP. As I was using Linux for compilation I had to do dos2unix on the makefiles or else SFO file was not getting a proper name and thus EBOOT.PBP failing.

So to get this working
1) Use the latest PSP Tools build (I feel mainly latest PSP SDK is helping)

2) Compile jpeg(only lib and not the programs), zlib and png libraries got from svn repository at ps2dev.org for the pspdev

3) run dos2unix on atleast makefile* in snes9xTYL 0.4.2 src directory

4) run make user

5) Replace the EBOOT.PBP in the 0.4.2 binary distribution with this newly compiled EBOOT.PBP.

This helped me getting snes9xTYL 0.4.2 running on PSP v2.01 with eloader 0.99

Hope this helps all intrested PSP homebrew users

Keep ;-)

Also do dos2unix for make_version_(me|user) files in the 0.4.2 src
