making a bootable Net Yaroze iso?

Post by gwald » January 22nd, 2016, 12:37 pm

Hi,
So master an iso is straight forward, but not with a net yaroze ecoff exe.

eco2exe and combine2 don't work because the exe start in different places and the emulator only starts in #100000, which is where the libps.exe is.

Obviously, the yaroze compilation cd's do this, I just haven't seen any source code.. anyone seen anything?

I got this far, i can get the iso and booting:
To make the iso:

To make it bootable:

Just don't know how to load the libps.exe and the siocons auto stuff.

I thought your SYSTEM.CNF sheet points to your LIBPS.EXE file which then loads your Yaroze ECOFF file.
Send me your compiled binaries and I'll see if I can get it going in my spare time.

TMK, LIBPS.EXE is a DLL lib in ram, not executable.
The yaroze boot cd points to DTL_S30.35 (stack = 801fff00 ), I guess it loads the libps.exe libs into ram then runs MON.exe which handles the siocons stuff.
I can't remember the address, but i'm sure the rdb(remote debugger) HSS.EXE writes over it, requiring a reset.

Hey thanks man, cool!

Attached are the quick NY files and compiled and linked, the exe's are:
TUTO0 = "hello world" message to the TV screen
TUTO1 = "hello world" message to TTY

I was poking around the 80 NY collection iso (file: PSX_Net_Yaroze_(83_Games).rar - 35MB, I can't remember were I got it from), to see how they did it, but they're not ecoff, I imagine they come off the official PS mag, and someone must of recompiled the code into psx.exe's.
Actually a few of the NY games have src in them, ie:
CDROM:\DATA\CONTENTS\ADVEN.FPC
:shock: :clap :clap :clap

By the way, FPC files arn't source code files.

Very cool and Awesome! :mrgreen:
Many thanks Shadow!

Combine2 doesn't like the word local in the siocons script :evil:

They must haven't ran a strip on that file.. whatever it is lol
Looks like the complete code and siocons script to me :dance

But they contain source files and resources files. Here attached a extractor and some info about FPC format.

Source files, as in, source code?
Why on earth would they include the source code inside when releasing a public demo??
I assume it's just for including it as an open source game???

I have an FPC unpack tool, but when I extracted (for example), HOVER.FPC, there was no source code inside. As far as I understand, it's just a compression system for the Yaroze, but for all the FPC files I've unpacked, there were no source files. Only compiled binaries without LIBPS.EXE included, which is why you need to use COMBINE2.EXE afterwards :)

Ah, that would make sense then :roll:

No just that some had src... there's another two or three that included part or all the code... I think clone the alien fps is one which did.
No tool required... Just opened in notepad+ clear as day!
Yip very strange as most NY magazine releases weren't open sourced...

So I recompiled exefixup, so it just creates the files without prompting, so it's batchable... (see next few posts)
It works both in win32, not dosbox
Attached, with code.


I've contacted the site's admin for the source code:
COMBINE (by Barubary)
ECO2EXE (by Silpheed/Hitmen)
But he said he lost contact and he didn't get a copy. :cry:


Shadow, are the combine + exefixup psx.exe file executable on an emulator?

Not sure. Give it a try :shrug
I used the EXE's listed above in my short tutorial on my Windows 98 PC.

I extracted your batch0.exe and it does works fine.. so no iso required
Damn.. I've screwed up my dev. env. and now I can't get this to work again :(

Thanks heaps Greg, the code helped heaps, eco2exe creates a .exe file which i didn't notice before.
I don't think I used it tho :shrug

I've got two combine exe's and non work :crying

Left is combine (v2.20)
right is combine2 (v2.00)
Image

They run, the exe that it creates doesn't need exefixup on all the ones i've tested... ie on the quick.zip above.
I'm not sure if I have to convert the yaroze gcc exe using eco2exe first.. I did try but it still didn't work... not sure how I f*cked it this bad :shock:
I've tested this on linux dosbox also.. the same.

Also the combine2 has issues with "local"
Siocons expects:
local load tuto0

Fails saying ERROR: Address invalid!

combine1 creates the exe.. and it worked :mrgreen: :praise attached :praise
:dance :clap :dance

I've recompile in exefixup so it just creates the fixed.exe when needed, it's in win98 and in winXP.
The filenames aren't great.. but hey.
Also a eco2exe in win98 (not changed) also include is the win32 exe not built by me.

So I got it setup on code::blocks IDE.. found an old win32 build of the toolchain and it works.
Shame combine requires dosbox tho.
Still, it saves me turning on the hardware :roll:

My NY setup took me many hours :twisted:
PSYQ would have been done in minutes :lol:
Thanks Shadow, noCash, Greg and the rest of the PSXDEV guys who made the tools :)
