VMU Game Uploader

[LightDark]

Recently I've been trying to get a better grasp on the VMU for a new game engine I'm working on. I couldn't seem to find any examples out there that demonstrate how to upload a VMU game to a VMU and be playable.

Before trying to compile it you have to go into the vmufs.c file in KOS and edit line 750:

Code: Select all

    nd.hdroff = (flags & VMUFS_VMUGAME) ? 1 : 0;

Make sure the header offset value is set to 1 instead of 0 if the VMUFS_VMUGAME flag is set, otherwise you will get the error "This game is damaged" when you try to play it on your VMU. After you have done that recompile KOS.

I have attached an archive with the demo in it. I have included Marcus Comstedt's VMU Tiny Tetris game in the games folder. Hopefully this helps somebody out there.

I can’t delete this post, but apparently I can’t read.

It’s still necessary on KOS 2.1.0 as of last month.

I verified that the bug exists and that what LightDark posted fixes it.

And it's now been patched as of yesterday. Thanks to BB Hood there for sending in a PR with the fix.
