I find is annoying how ya gotta load up yet another thing to use lua stuff, so does anyone here agree that it would be kewl if eloader could load lua scripts?

Hardrive · 03-16-2006, 05:49 PM

no, cause that would clutter the list up a ton, i like it how it is

and it would take even more memory to have lua support too

**teeth_03** · 03-16-2006, 05:51 PM

clutter up the list? the eloader lists the lua eboots that wont run without the lua player...least you wouldn't have to worry about remembering which ones you need the lua player for...

Hardrive · 03-16-2006, 05:59 PM

ya... gues your right

i meant cluttering it up with misc. scripts too

**chaoskingz** · 03-16-2006, 08:40 PM

i prefer it the way it is, personally any lua files i put in lua player and don't use the eboot that comes with them, like hardrive said, it would clutter up list too much and i as i am sure many people have lots of homebrew in their game folder, and eloader already takes long enough to scan everytime. hopefully fanj said he'd look into the "scan once a day/manual scanning by user" in his and ditlews new eloader when it comes out.

**Hobz** · 03-16-2006, 08:45 PM

i only have 4 things lol

**yusefal** · 03-17-2006, 12:12 AM

I don't think this will work because the lua player has about 15 applications already on.

**D_W_Y** · 03-17-2006, 12:26 AM

Lua apps have to work through the lua player.

It's like saying 'can I load the eloader on 2.6 without loading gta first'.

**Gutya** · 03-17-2006, 01:26 AM

The scan is not really a problem for me as i only have 2 homebrews right now.

**mnky** · 03-17-2006, 08:04 AM

the only way that could work is with a file broser in the eloader

No it isn't.. Without loading GTA now is impossible. Adding the lua player to the eLoader is far from impossible.

even when I had 90+ homebrews on my mem stick the scan time was just a few seconds hardly a long time is it

**Fanjita** · 03-17-2006, 10:48 AM

Judging by recent SVN checkins, it looks like LUAPlayer will be made available as a PRX some time soon.

Considering that we also want to add PRX support to eLoader, it's not a big stretch of the imagination to picture the eLoader being able to run LUA scripts directly.

An alternative method would be creation of a LUAPlayer that accepts a command-line parameter for the script to run.

Neither is too hard, but neither is quite doable yet.

**-skelevision-** · 03-17-2006, 12:31 PM

A good thing would be if the eLoader came packaged with LUA-style apps for things like web and file browsing, but Fanjita and Ditlew probably have more important things to attend to, such as simulated kernel access.
EDIT: 100 posts! Yeah!

**mnky** · 03-17-2006, 12:58 PM

if lua is going to be comp. with eloader then its possible but well need wifi

**PSPMillionaire** · 03-17-2006, 01:45 PM

if it ever runs my Millionaire game again...I'll be happy lol

and me it looks good, so I take it your not having much luck sorting it out for the eLoader weird how it will load and let you answer a question I have managed to answer 2 questions now before I get the script error, using 2.01

**idk2** · 03-17-2006, 04:19 PM

Actually, that seems like a very good idea. It saves the extra step i have to take to play the crappy snake game that i spend so much time on.

I already have like a hundred HB apps and games, and another 20 Lua Apps and games, I dont want my list cluttered up more...
I dont want it.

Then just put the lua apps somewhere else and load them with luaplayer. I believe the eloader only looks for homebrew in GAME.

yeah it seems to just randomly crash at different places and times each time I run it. I havent given up on it yet though

**Fanjita** · 03-17-2006, 05:51 PM

I made a bug fix recently that seems to have made a big difference to PSPMillionaire, so hopefully the next eLoader release will provide full support for it again.

According to the Working GTA list, 1.0a (Using Lua Player) should work with Bock.

First I tried the latest version(1.10 w/patch 2) no luck, so I tried the older version also no luck. :icon_sad:

Any tips to get it to even start PSPMillionaire?

ps - I don't think eLoader should be merged with lua player.

Again it used to work??

**mannymix03** · 04-04-2006, 07:45 PM

if you want it on eloader then make an eboot that loads up the script without it
