PS2

SDL port for the Sony Playstation 2 contributed by: - Francisco Javier Trujillo Mata

Credit to - The guys that ported SDL to PSP & Vita because I'm taking them as reference. - David G. F. for helping me with several issues and tests.

Building

To build SDL library for the PS2, make sure you have the latest PS2Dev status and run: bash export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev # or wherever your ps2dev installation is export PS2SDK=$PS2DEV/ps2sdk export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/bin:$PS2DEV/ee/bin:$PS2DEV/iop/bin:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin:$PS2SDK/bin cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$PS2DEV/share/ps2dev.cmake cmake --build build cmake --install build

Hints

SDL_HINT_PS2_GS_WIDTH: Width of the framebuffer. Defaults to 640.
SDL_HINT_PS2_GS_HEIGHT: Height of the framebuffer. Defaults to 448.
SDL_HINT_PS2_GS_PROGRESSIVE: Whether to use progressive, instead of interlaced. Defaults to 0.
SDL_HINT_PS2_GS_MODE: Regional standard of the signal. "NTSC" (60hz), "PAL" (50hz) or "" (the console's region, default).

Notes

If you trying to debug a SDL app through ps2client you need to avoid the IOP reset, otherwise you will lose the connection with your computer. So to avoid the reset of the IOP CPU, you need to call to the macro SDL_PS2_SKIP_IOP_RESET();. It could be something similar as: ```c .....

SDL_PS2_SKIP_IOP_RESET();

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { ..... ``` For a release binary is recommendable to reset the IOP always.

Remember to do a clean compilation every time you enable or disable the SDL_PS2_SKIP_IOP_RESET otherwise the change won't be reflected.
