Homebrew Help with some coding (code inside!) error

[Dan_Aykroyd]

Hi!

I'm trying to modify WAD Manager source code for the device selection screen, but I can't get past an issue. Here the code now:

CODEu32 buttons = Wpad_WaitButtons();

ÂÂÂÂ/* Select source device */
ÂÂÂÂfor (; {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ/* Clear console */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂCon_Clear();

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ/* Selected device */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdev = &deviceList[device];

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂprintf("\n[+] Selected IOS version: < IOS%d >\n\n\n\n", iosVersion[iosSelected]);

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfor(i=0;i

is the first piece of code the body of Menu_Device();?

 

[Dan_Aykroyd]

Yes, it is. This is the upper part which I didn't post:

void Menu_Device(void)
{
fatDevice *dev = NULL;

s32 ret;
u32 i, cnt;
u8 *iosVersion = NULL;
u32 iosCnt;

/* Get IOS versions */
ret = Title_GetIOSVersions(&iosVersion, &iosCnt);
if (ret < 0)
return;

/* Sort list */
qsort(iosVersion, iosCnt, sizeof(u8), __Menu_IsGreater);

/* Set default version */
// first: check if CIOS avaialbe and make it default
if(iosSelected

I suggest changing how the loop works make a condition like

do{
buttons = PAD_ButtonsDown(0);
//fill in the rest. 
}while(!done );

 

[emupaul]

make sure buttons doesnt return NULL check for it.


if(buttons==NULL)
printf("failed");
else
//I dont know im guessing you want to init pad
// then try to poll buttons again.

comment whole code (device selection part) and set the dev variable manually...

for example....
dev = &deviceList[0];

I've tried that before even posting the first post, and it still didn't work.

And I used exactly that line you posted to replace the whole selection device "for"!

But now I'm sure what the problem is: the IOS_Reload. If I coment that, it works OK (if I skip the device selection). But if I let that line to exectue, it crashes. I can't figure out what that has to do with anything, even because I'm manually assigning the same values that the variables get when running through the "for", and it still doesn't work!

Damn it

Ok, now see there is also ios selection in the same codepiece... if you only want to filter out device selection then you need to comment only device selection related code... if you want to filter out both then filter out ios related stuff and call the IOS reload with the ios number you want...

 

[Dan_Aykroyd]

That's what I did. I commented the whole section out and set the selected device to &[0] and the selected IOS to 20 (the IOS249 array index for me), and it still didn't work!

And the funny thing is that, when printing to the screen the value of those variables the first time it enters the for, it's exactly those values! So if I press "A", without moving the arrows, it works fine! But somehow, when I skip the "for" it crashes.

I'm really clueless now as what to do. I spent some good couple of hours yesterday on something quite stupid as this.
