Reading Psp Firmware Version Using Lua

[xpack]

--Want to read your PSP Firmware Version then paste this code in your file

white = Color.new(255,255,255)

file = io.open("flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt","r")
mystring = file:read()
file:close()

newstring = string.sub(mystring,9,12)

screen:clear(white)
screen:print(155,136,"Fir mware Version: "..newstring)screen.flip( )
screen.waitVblankStart()

Either put that in code tags or disable smilies in your post. But other than that, nice. I believe this is useable without my modded lua player, as your only reading from flash.

[daaa57150]

cool, do you know how to read the user's name in a similar way? at least in which file it is? I was looking for this before.

[coolguy5678]

I think the nickname is in flash1:/registry/system.dreg, although there might be another way.

[cools]

I know this isn't helpful as of now, but Lua Player Mod 4 will have a System.nickName() function that returns the PSP's nick name.

[eldiablov]

cool. Glad to see your still working cools.

white = Color.new(255,255,255) 

name = io.open("flash1:/registry/system.dreg","r")  
name:seek("set", 0x2380) 
user = name:read(27) 
name:close() 

while true do 

screen:clear()  
 
screen:print(100,100, "Your PSP name is:" , white) 
screen:print(100,115, user , white) 
screen:print(100, 30, "now search next time!", white)

screen.waitVblankStart() 
screen.flip() 
end

also, Mod4 sounds pretty cool Cool, can't wait

Sick!
MAC address reading if possible would also be cool

This firmware reading snippet, IMO is useful for making flashers in lua, to prevent people using a flasher designed for eg. 3.03OE (icons) on 3.10OE

[youresam]

Yet again, I already added everything you are all asking for in ipodmocks luaplayer, lol.

static int Wlan_getmac(lua_State *L)
{
unsigned char sVal[7];
char themac[18];
memset(sVal, 0, 7);
sceWlanGetEtherAddr(sVal); 	
sprintf(themac,"%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X", sVal[0], sVal[1], sVal[2], sVal[3], sVal[4], sVal[5]);
lua_pushstring(L, themac);
return 1;
}

[SG57]

youresam - You know, thats really cool. One thing... you havent released it, so no sense in talking all high of yourself like were idiots for considering implementing something you already have...

}

Might as well release it XD

You know, you don't always have to say the name of the guy you want to talk to by using "[enter name here] - [enter discussion here]". There is a quote button here; it may be helpful.

[slicer4ever]

even so theres no point to these lua mods when noone wants to seem to achnowlege(i know i misspelled it) lua any longer

YOU MAY HAVE IMPLEMENTED ALL THAT BUT AN UNRELEASED MOD DOES NOBODY ANYGOOD.

[daaa57150]

Nice, so it is possible.. Thanks! That will be useful if I develop another game sometime.

yep, im glad to see lot of ppl using this example code from evilmana

[BlackShark]

yup, but he should have gotten it himselfe, thats y I put,

screen:print(100, 30, "now search next time!", white)

[yolarry]

No way to make a lua app says "This is not 3.03 OE-C!" then it returns you to the xmb?

[xpack]

You code try something like this

white = Color.new(255,255,255)

file = io.open("flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt","r")
mystring = file:read()
file:close()

newstring = string.sub(mystring,9,12) 

while true do
screen:clear(white)

if newstring ~= "3.03" then
Sytem.Quit() -- For mods
else
screen:print(155,136,"Fir mware Version: "..newstring) -or whatever you want
end
end

screen.flip( )
screen.waitVblankStart()

Havent tested it let me know if it works

[yolarry]

error "then"

[pspfreak9]

white = Color.new(255,255,255)

-= Double Post =-
fixed and do you want 3.03 or 3.03 OE-C

[yolarry]

Oe-c

[xpack]
