Looking further at classic_ctrl_handshake function in classics.c, the following code : if (data[offset] == 0xFF) { /* * Sometimes the data returned here is not correct. * This might happen because the wiimote is lagging * behind our initialization sequence. * To fix this just request the handshake a...

It seems that most problems with 3rd party Classic Controllers in libogc/libwiiuse are caused by controllers that do not return valid calibration data during the initialization handshake. The probleme is that there is actually no double-check in libwiiuse to see if acquired data is valid and the fol...

Sorry to bump that old post but I have recently trying to figure out why DVD support was broken on gamecube and I think I found out the reason(s). 1) There is a restriction in the DVD interface that the DMA buffer start address must be 32-byte aligned. This is now normally handled by the libiso9660 ...

Yes, it's actually done in current sbrk implementation when Arena2Low is equal to mem2_start. Anyway, i tried a few different things but nothing worked, even when patching and recompiling libogc by hand, so I guess there is something else going on. Seems like the only way to go back to mem1 is to fr...

You're right. DevkitPPC uses dlmalloc for its malloc implementation, from memory it has a "trim" function that releases memory back to sbrk when a certain amount is unallocated (in this case it must be at the "top"). Unfortunately it's configured to treat all sbrk'd memory as co...

ok, i have been reading more on how malloc and free generally work regarding heap allocation (not sure about newlib's exact implementation though) and now understand that they generally use linked list and that sbrk will only be called when more heap memory is needed or when released memory is at th...

Hi, I have recently been trying to log MEMx usage in my application to look for memory leaks using SYS_GetArenaXSize functions but I noticed that MEM1 free size will always get locked as soon as you "go" into MEM2, even after freeing allocated objects. I too thought initially that it was d...

Thanks for the confirmation

add 576p video mode, replace 574i with 576i

are you sure these changes are correct ?

i thought:

1) neither wii or gamecube supported 50hz progressive mode, only 60hz

2) maximal height for PAL is 574 lines on Wii, not 576

Have they been any recent discover that showed the contrary ?

Got it, thank you.
