sdlBasic for PSP version 0.5

sdlBasic is a small, efficient multiplatform basic interpreter originally created by Roberto Viola in 2002.
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/images/sdlbasic3.PNG
Its core is based on wxBasic and syntax, inspired by AMOS, is easy to learn by beginners
http://www.sdlbasic.altervista.org contains the reference guides language overview, comand syntax, examples and
additional tools and resources, required for development.

Installation
The interpreter only works on custom PSP 3.XX firmwares.
Copy sdlBasic folder to ms:/PSP/GAME (or ms:/PSP/GAME3XX where XX is your custom firmware's subversion.

Using the interpreter
sdlBasic program(s) should be saved in [program_name].sdlbas file and placed in sdlBasic folder, together with EBOOT.PBP file and
fonts directory. Of course, sdlBasic folder can be renamed, and EBOOT icon/background can be replaced with a number of tools.
If only one .sdlbas file is detected in the folder, the interpreter immediately runs it. Over wise the program selection screen is displayed.

PSP-spesific features & limitations
- setdisplay() dimensions are limited to 640x480, 320x240, 480x272 (and some derivatives)
- only some keyboard keys are mapped (arrows, enter, space, escape) and available through key() / inkey commands.
- all psp buttons can be queried with getButtonJoystick() call with button indexes from 0 to 13
- mouse calls are partially implemented via the analog pad and buttons mapped to [x],[o],[triangle],[square]
- isPSP=1 and os=PSP variables are added for platform detection.
- network, mpeg and cd-control calls as well as shell() are not implemented yet.
- mp3 playbeack is not supported. Ogg, wav and tracker formats should be used instead.

version update: 0.6 has a bug fix for a memory leak during loading images.

this is very interesting

is there a project website?

and how does speed compare to luaplayer 0.20?

and 1 suggestion 240x136 fullscreen

i tried out your app its great alot of potential, i dont understand how to use it as a translator but would like too. i have an src file with mp3 lite so if i was to run both apps how would one do that? i know it may seem simple to you but its not very noob friendly yet. im trying to tun my psp into a functional guide like the one seen in hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, i figure its only a matter of time before the fictional tool comes to life. it would be great if i could download an encyclopedia that i could edit and update and play home brew games through and i see the start of the making of that in this. i know its still early in history for such a thing to exist, but as an adult traveler i would love to have all the info i can on locations and animals and first aid, i can stuff in there with a user friendly gui. the psp has sooo much potential. good job keep it up dude.

Hey, good to see the good old SDLBasic on Psp.

Long Time ago i created the German tutorial, but now i´m using more c++. Thanks alot for porting this very good basic :)

The link to the website in in the root post..
240x136 is supported...
I have not done any performance comparisons yet..

i knew that the basic's website is there, didnt know if you had one just for the psp port

i tried it out last night, and the shadow of the beast demo was really impressive

luaplayer could do that, maby not as smooth and you would have to use some magic tricks

anyway i think im going to start playing with this tonight and i cant wait to see where it goes

(noticable bug, likes to crash on exit to xmb)

how do you replicate it?

Hi love your app.

Seems like a great language to help me get into coding and mess around with some homebrew.....

One question though. I'm working on an application that will work as a magazine viewer (magazines in .jpg) all goes well on the pc and on the psp until I get to page 9 then it freezes! My code below whats wrong? btw is there a way to make it so that i can have a button to go back and not just forward? Thanks :)

in almost every demo push the home button and choose yes, goes to off mode instead of xmb :)

psp phat 3.80m33 - 5

psp slim 3.90M33-3 no problem

btw, why is memory card in constant use?
