Don't make modal forms bigger than 156 pixels, it's ugly...

And don't forget the free memory display, it's a very important info for many (older) devices...

metaview, can you tell me what is wrong in this code? When i click on the folder, it gives the debug messages, then nothing is desplayed, and when i exit it says emul68k.c uninplemented instruction. xuzz.net/ljx.c.excerptEDIT: thanks to tinnus, fixed! |

You can still run out of memory even with UDMH. Also it won't have any help for NVFS palms, which is most of them now, and certainly all the new ones.

It could have a smart system saying what systems could be played. Vilmos, tinnus, or metaview (or anybody else...), can you tell me what is wrong in this code? When i click on the folder, it gives the debug messages, then nothing is desplayed, and when i exit it says emul68kmain.c uninplemented instruction. xuzz.net/ljx.c.excerpt |

![]() Screenshot of the form rescource. categories ALMOST work (and are stable!) you dont know any C and you managed to do this!!?? Are you using some kind of builder program? I know C fairly well and programming PalmOS crap is still very confusing to me. maybe youre a JeaniOuS! |

I am using PODS from Access (who bought palmsource). Acutally that was a lie: I read the wikibook on c, but didn't get it (much). But now it is all coming together (sort of) here it is in the crashy state: xuzz.net/ljx.prcBugs: categories crash and don't work (only in NES...why?) prefs do nothing games aren't launched Debug messages pop up alot! |

At least you can make the popup messages pop up!  BTW, don't go editing your posts and topic names like you just did with this one at the start, makes things a LOT confusing. You just made half the posts in the front page useless  Forums are not chatrooms, they're meant to be information repositories. So you just leave the questions and answers there in case someone ever tries to do the same thing again Then if you want to change the topic, just create a new one |

![]() Screenshot of the form rescource. categories ALMOST work (and are stable!) I think that looks pretty good for a start. One thingto keep in mind though when using that kind of menu. You have to display the console you are using currently. for example if it were on snes it would show the regular except the snes box on top is open. i can photoshop it if u are confused(provide me a place to upload it and I'll do it.) |

catDir=dir;//dir is the directory of the system you are in
StrCat(catDir, catSelected);
StrCat(catDir,"/");
Are you sure you want do this? Learn about pointers in C. How is dir declared? Is there memory associated with it? You set the pointer catDir to the pointer dir, then you alter the content of catDir, means yuo alter the content of dir too. Try to understand how pointers work...

Hey good for you, you got it working. Keep fiddling and you will understand C more and more.  |

How do you get the VALUE of the pointer to catDir? And it also happens with ext (it gets set to the value of catDir (or dir, i don't know)), evn though i don't toutch it.... on those same lines of code. |

*ptrname will give you the value of the ptrname
ptrname will give you the address
|

Post by Tinnus on Mar 4, 2008 22:12:07 GMT 1
That is a pointer to a string so *ptrname will just give you the first char. You want something like
newptr = MemPtrNew(MAX_PATH_SIZE);
StrCopy(newptr, oldptr);
StrCat(newptr, selCategory);
StrCat(newptr, "/");
Make sure to free newptr after it's used as well!

the file was "LJX.prc" not "ljx.prc" :-) I renamed the file on the server. Be warned: it still doesn't change the ini file, so it is kind of useless  |

My code seems to be fine, and not uber-complicated... or is it and i just don't know... The problem with the old implementation wasn't actually connected to that, but rather to all the problems/pointer madness the launcher already had. You can look at the App_Func.c file in the LJP 68k launcher code and see what I mean. |
