Unofficial LaunchELF releases by EP + dlanor + various contributors LaunchELF v4.40 (2009.09.08) -Reimplemented 'paddata', to allow button combos independent of debounce -Merged in a new mcman module by jimmikaelkael, fixing the FTP server bug LaunchELF v4.39aa beta (2009.08.24) -Fixed a weird 'strcat' bug that used to break TextEditor 'Save As...' pathname -Suppressed FileBrowser display of garbage filesize + timestamps for ".." links -Rearranged init of pad & CDVD modules to avoid problem detecting pad mode -NB: The above fixes an old problem with pad running amok with disc-control ON LaunchELF v4.39z beta (2009.04.09) -Fixed a bug from previous beta v4.39y preventing access to MC folders having a 'hidden' attribute bit set. LaunchELF v4.39y beta (2009.04.06) -Merged in new MCMAN and MCSERV modules by jimmikaelkael -Modified FileBrowser to allow renaming of all MC file/folder objects -Fixed "DEVICE_UNITS" again, to really allow 10 USB drives/partitions in FTP LaunchELF v4.39 (2009.02.17) -Updated gsKit and existing source files to SVN rev 1470. -Upgraded USBHDFSD to SVN rev 1534 by radad. -Updated ps2ftpd and existing source files to SVN rev 587. -Changed "DEVICE_UNITS" from 4 to 10 for the newer USB driver. -Altered an old workaround to allow multiple USB devices to show up properly within FTP clients. LaunchELF v4.38 (2009.01.22) -Fixed a bug affecting two of the timeout functions changed in v4.37 -Modified CDVD tray checking for browsing to cdfs: LaunchELF v4.37 (2009.01.21) -Changed VSync-based timeouts to use Timer() instead, to eliminate PAL/NTSC variations and cure an old bug causing uncontrolled button repeats -Changed CDVD tray checking, to eliminate a case of FileBrowser freezing LaunchELF v4.36 (2009.01.19) -Fixed 'disc control' bugs in FileBrowser and JpgViewer browser -Improved recognition of disc types, displayed in main menu. ESR discs are shown as "ESR DVD (off)" if ESR driver needs to be activated to access disc contents, but as "ESR DVD (on)" if no driver activation is needed (if already running, or when used with a modchip) -Upgraded USBHDFSD of uLE to SVN rev 1516 by radad, fixing a bug in FAT16 usage LaunchELF v4.35 (2009.01.17) -Merged in the latest USBHDFSD version by radad (SVN rev 1513) to further improve compatibility LaunchELF v4.34 (2009.01.13) -Fixed some bugs that could sometimes prevent 'Left'/'Right' buttons from activating elf launches defined by user for those buttons -Changed to use fioGetstat instead of fioDopen+fioDclose to scan for USB drives -Restructured main menu event loop and centralized GUI screen redraws to it -Changed from dynamic to static font buffer allocation (as it's always needed) -Modified USBHDFSD to eliminate an irritating and unnecessary delay -Added rom0:ROMVER content to "MISC/Debug Info" screen (shows PS2 bios version) LaunchELF v4.33 (2009.01.12) -Raised a debug constant which limited v4.32 USB_mass drives to 4 instead of 10 -Added a horizontal offset to the "About uLE" display LaunchELF v4.32 (2009.01.11) -Upgraded USBHDFSD to SVN rev 1503 by radad, which cures the bug causing large-file corruption in the previous uLE release, and also adds support for multiple partitions (each accessed as a separate mass?: drive) and extends the hotplugging limits (max 5 simultaneous devices with a total of max 10 partitions). Exceeding the limits will cause no harm, but the additional devices/partitions will not be accessible. -Upgraded USBD to SVN rev 1494 by radad, making uLE "mass:" identical to that of old applications when using multiple USB drives in uLE. -Improved MISC/PS2Disc subprogram to support launch of either DVD-Video disc or ESR-patched disc (but might not recognize disc type if a modchip is active) -Added "ESR elf" entry to "Startup Settings..." configuration menu NB: If no ESR elf has been configured a default of "mc:/BOOT/ESR.ELF" is used LaunchELF v4.31 (2009.01.04) -Added new "MISC/About uLE" subprogram, displaying a program credits screen -Enhanced FileBrowser to support multiple hotplugged USB mass drives -Upgraded usbhdfsd to SVN rev 1490 by radad, for multiple USB drive support. Note that this may require running the new "setup.sh" script, for those who wish to compile uLE themselves. (Or use the new script "upgrade_usbhdfsd.sh".) -Fixed various issues with TextEditor (inability to insert CRLF at CRLF etc) -Fixed a partition unmounting issue, that sometimes caused non-fatal failure of the TextEditor to show proper partition contents when browsing for a text file NB: usbhdfsd rev 1490 is now known to have a bug in writing/deleting large files. LaunchELF v4.30 (2008.09.30) -Fixed HDD mountpoint issues in HddManager (due to changed methods from v4.23) LaunchELF v4.29 (2008.09.25) -Fixed a new bug in the CNF parser, introduced when fixing the previous one. That bug cause the character after the equal sign in a variable assignment to be skipped. This should not matter for uLE or FMCB CNF files, where that character will always be a space. But it does matter when parsing SYSTEM.CNF for PS2 discs, since those files sometimes have no space in that position. This caused some discs to fail booting, both with the uLE MISC/PS2Disc command, and with the disc launcher of FMCB. -Minor changes to CDVD checking -Added DVD-Video launch capability for MISC/PS2Disc LaunchELF v4.28 (2008.09.07) -Fixed a bug in the CNF parser, preventing variables from being accepted when not separated by any other character from the '=' character preceding its value string. This bug affected all CNF file parsing, including that used for the PS2Disc command, as well as that used for the CNF files of uLaunchELF. NB: Since uLE always uses a space separator in creating CNF files, this bug has never affected CNF files created by uLE, but only CNF files edited by 'hand' and the SYSTEM.CNF files of game discs, causing some of those not to work with the PS2Disc command of uLE. So try again now, with games that failed earlier. LaunchELF v4.27 (2008.09.04) -Added ability of MISC/PS2Disc subprogram to also boot PS1 discs (Based on ideas and examples contributed by jimmikaelkael @ psx-scene) LaunchELF v4.26 (2008.09.02) -Fixed a bug preventing detection of PAL/NTSC mode on some slim PStwo units. (Now reads "rom0:ROMVER" instead of using gsKit's function "gsKit_detect_signal") LaunchELF v4.25 (2008.08.19) -Fixed a bug preventing proper updates of IPCONFIG.DAT (open file) -Fixed a bug preventing Cancel command from working in some file selections -Modified Skin CNF saving to allow selection of existing filenames -Corrected cursor positioning for LNG translated network settings LaunchELF v4.24 (2008.08.15) -Fixed a bug preventing unmounting of VMC devices for some cases NB: Though VMC usage should no longer be able to interfere with normal HDD access, it may still lock up in some VMC operations. This VMC driver is still to be considered a beta version, though the uLE release is otherwise stable. You should therefore not use VMC operations without backup of each VMC file used. LaunchELF v4.23 (2008.08.15) -Fixed a bug that made it possible to select uLE configurable files (drivers, skins, etc) on VMC -Fixed a bug preventing psuPaste from restoring PSU files to gamesave folders on VMC -Restructured the HDD mountpoint usage to eliminate conflicts between VMC and other browser needs. Conflict should now only be possible between ftp server and VMC browsing, so these activities should never be combined (user responsibility) -Enforced 32 character limit for vmc object names in FileBrowser (same as on MC) -Modified VMC mounting to last only throughout a FileBrowser session. Leaving the FileBrowser automatically unmounts any mounted VMC files -Fixed a VMC driver bug causing it to consider a VMC to be mounted even after a failure to do so due to unformatted content LaunchELF v4.22 (2008.08.14) -Fixed various bugs that could crash the RunELF function when called with improper device names or paths to non-ELF files. From now on on real launch attempts are made only after accessing the file and checking its ELF header. -Fixed a bug dealing with SYSTEM.CNF files for the "MISC/PS2Disc" subprogram (string termination for a file buffer from malloc was made one byte beyond the allocated area) -The above changes also fix the inability of the previous beta to launch ELFs from virtual memory cards. -Made a new revision of 'ps2client_for_uLE'. This rev8 fixes a problem with file open modes that prevented the new VMC driver from mounting VMC files over network. NB: Mounting VMC files over network is not recommended at this stage, since it is very slow. The VMC driver will need a new caching strategy to make network use practical. LaunchELF v4.21a beta (2008.07.21) -Embedded virtual memory card driver by Polo35 and ubergeek42, and implemented its use in FileBrowser. Note that vmc0: and vmc1: will not be shown in FileBrowser until some VMC file has been mounted, using new commands in the R1 menu of FileBrowser. LaunchELF v4.21 (2008.07.20) -Changed FileBrowser icon colour assignment to use Color5, Colour6, and Color7 for folders, ELF files, and generic files, respectively -Changed default colour values for FileBrowser icons to be yellow, green, white, used for folders, ELF files, and generic files, respectively. This change also affects HddManager pie charts as they use two of the same colour definitions LaunchELF v4.20 (2008.07.17) -Implemented an icon mode for the FileBrowser, where each file/folder name will now be prefixed with a small coloured icon. The icon shape for folders is different from that for files, and three different colours are used. One for folders, another for ELFs, and a third for all other...
