Compiling PSPlayer

[Xtreme2damax]

Does anyone know what is needed to compile PSPlayer successfully? I am trying to compile it in Visual Studio 2008 but keep getting errors during compile.

I am interested in testing it out and wanted to test the latest revision, I know better than to distribute builds without the authors permission.

Also is anything needed to use the actual emulator itself such as a bios/firmware?

Can anyone help at all?

What Compile errors do you get? Posting them might help

Well when I compile for any cpu I get these errors:

I was going to attach the error/build log but Emutalk is not allowing me to attach anything. Instead I uploaded it to a directory on my website and will provide a direct link:

http://www.xtemu.com/files/errors.txt


When I compile for mixed platforms I get the same problem. If I select compile foe Win32 it builds fine, but it skips 14 projects and if I try to use the audio plugin I get an unhandled exception when trying to start the emulator.

I already compiled the PSPlayer multiple times, so I will look into it.

Well I did compile the Win32 version fine to my knowledge, seems the reason it crashed with the audio plugin is because I needed to have fmod.dll and fmodex.dll in the same folder as PSPlayer.

Is there any way to use normal firmware from your PSP, boot into the firmware and load homebrew/eboots?

 

[Xtreme2damax]

Sorry for the doublepost, but I also recieve these errors sometimes when trying to compile the Win32 release build:

Error 3 fatal error C1192: #using failed on 'c:\psplayer\noxa.emulation.psp\bin\release\noxa.emulation.psp.dll' c:\PSPlayer\Noxa.Emulation.Psp.Input.SimpleInput\Stdafx.cpp 1 Noxa.Emulation.Psp.Input.SimpleInput

I also get crashes and can't load anything. I don't even know how to load homebrew.

Is there a way to use real/normal PSP firmware, boot into the firmware and run homebrew applications with the WIP emulator for the PSP?

Also here's the last buildlog:

Does anyone have any solutions?

I did manage to get it to build somewhat/somehow, but whenever I try to run something it freezes/hangs on a black screen or just crashes.

Homebrew doesn't even work.....

 

[Xtreme2damax]

Anyone know what the problem is or could be?

 

[_Chrono_]

Most of those are warnings.... the only error you have is

error CS0227: Unsafe code may only appear if compiling with /unsafe

Google on how to compile with /unsafe

EDIT: In 2005, right-click on your project and go to Properties. On the "Build" tab check the option "Allow unsafe code"

 

[Xtreme2damax]

Yeah I managed to get it to compile, since I am on a 64-bit system I had to set the target output to x86.

However I am having trouble getting it to run anything, I can't even get seemingly compatible homebrew to work.

Everything I attempt to launch either crashes or hangs at a black screen, it even does this on others pre-compiled builds.

I should at least be able to launch homebrew such as the homebrew included on the test stick, but even that isn't working.
