Hacking libfat with USB patch needed

[D-Jay]

Hey guys,

I have to compile some code with DevKitPro, but everytime I get some errors:

c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:31: error: 'PI_INTERNAL_SD' undeclared here (not in a function)
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c: In function 'main':
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:348: error: 'PI_SDGECKO_A' undeclared (first use in this function)
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:348: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:348: error: for each function it appears in.)
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:352: error: 'PI_SDGECKO_B' undeclared (first use in this function)
c:/wiiprojects/installer/source/installer.c:360: error: 'PI_USBSTORAGE' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [installer.o] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

I think that's USB-Patch for libfat!?

Does somebody have the correct libfat?


Thanks & greets

Looks correct to me. One update to libfat changed some things, and you need to change the code of you project a liitle to fix it. For example " fatInitDefault();" now initializes both sd card and usb, To unmount the devices you need fatUnmount("sd"); and fatUnmount("usb");. And the filenames now require "sd:/..." or "usb:/..." instead of "fat:/...". Oh and usb does not work after a change of the used IOS.

I tried some older libfats but none of them worked.

I don't want to rewrite the whole code.

If i remember correctly and the project you have doesn't do anything strange, you only need to fix the compiling errors with the commands i posted and to search all commands which include file paths like "fat:/..." and patch them.

I don't have something like "fat:/"

Sorry...

If you PM me the code, i will take a look at it. Tomorrow(today).

Thanks. I'm going to try something. If it not works, I will send you the source.

Edit:
-btw- I took some code from WAD Manager 1.3 for testing. It uses the same variables and dumps me same error code!
Maybe you can take a look at waninkokos source.

Edit: sorry double-posting

 

[WiiPower]

Send me the code of the project you want to change. I'm sure i can change the WAD Manager code to use the new libfat methods.

you don't need to re-code much, you just replace the function (don't remember the name) that use those PI_xxx as parameter to initialize stuff and replace everything by fatInitDefault() as WiiPower told you

then in filenames used as parameter for fopen function calls, you should make them start by by usb: or sd: (for example, /wad/xxx.wad becomes sd:/wad/xxx.wad)

btw, if the project you want to compile is the backup launcher, you can also get rid of any call to libfat stuff and commenting them, they are only used for Ocarina (remember backup laucher is a rip of gekko OS)

The project is based on WAD Manager 1.3

Everything I found with "fat" is the following:

/* Generate dirpath */
sprintf(dirpath, "fat%d:/" WAD_DIRECTORY, device);

/* Generate filepath */
sprintf(filepath, "fat%d:/" WAD_DIRECTORY "/%s", device, ptr);

Changed it to QUOTE

sd%d:/

Doesn't work.

 

[WiiPower]

sprintf(filepath, "fat%d:/" WAD_DIRECTORY "/%s", device, ptr);

will return "fat1:/..." as path for device == 1


for sd you need to change it to
sprintf(filepath, "sd:/" WAD_DIRECTORY "/%s", ptr);

for usb you need to change it to
sprintf(filepath, "usb:/" WAD_DIRECTORY "/%s", ptr);

 

[D-Jay]

Doesn't work.

Sorry, my skills aren't great.

I got it to compile with the new libfat and shortly tested it. It displayed the wads i had on sd card and usb stick.

I removed libpng and the banner, because i didn't get them to work. I changed it to return to the HBC instead of rebooting as this is 10 times more safe if you plan to install cioscorp with it and i removed the sd gecko support, now only sd card and usb storage are supported.

There are some more annoying differences between those two libs, yesterday got some issues with them too...

For example, after seeking to the end of the file and using ftell to get the size, it returns just 4...

Best is to use the compatible fat lib that application is meant to be compiled with...

You can find the libogc with that old interface in the mplayerwii's old source dumps,
http://ronwarez.com/mplayerwii/old/

Just rename the libogc in the devkitpro folder and copy the one with the old fat interface...
If there are any missing libs, you need to manually add...

I never had problems with ftell with the new libfat, only the problem that usb is unusable if you want to use it before and after a IOS reload.

Think so, too. But I don't know where to download the fatlib / projectfiles for WAD-Manager 1.3

 

[nicksasa]

look for the libs on the devkitpro sourceforge site

and i also have 2 libogc's the old one and the new one i only use the old one for gamma and wad manager 1.3

I tried several libs from there. Nothing worked.
I'm going to try something else.

Well I'm talking about the old one which fails in ftell...
