Solve one problem......

run into another.

ATM I have again run into a problem with the eBook Reader alpha. While I was able to get the file system library working last night, I have now run into a problem reading the text from a file on the flash card. Seems that the loop used to read in the file is not stopping. For some reason it just keeps reading indefinitely for some reason. I can't tell if this is a NDS programming or C problem. I am currently hunting for answers online and at the PALib forums. I will also be talking to one of the programers I work with about it. He has a lot of C programming experience, so he might have an idea of the problem and how to fix it.

So that's it for today. Tomorrow I go into work, so I will not have time to work on the project. Expect an update no earlier then Thursday afternoon unless I find a fix and get it working sometime tomorrow.

Problems solved!!!

That was fast. With the help of some people from the PSLib forums (schlegel11 and ThemePark), I was able to find out what the problem was. Seems that the make file needs to be explicitly told what libraries to include. I don't use MakeFiles all that often, so I would have never thought to check there without their help.

I haven't tested the program out on my NDS yet since its late. Thankfully, with the library problem fixed, I should be able to finish porting the code over in a hour or two tomorrow. If all works out with the program, I will post the "alpha".

ATM the only thing I need to worry about with the port is getting the sideways text to work properly. Hopefully I will get some more help from the people at PALib.

Problems yet again

Having problems yet again. This time they are not totally caused by me. I am currently porting my parsing code from my command-line test program to the actual DS program. The problem I am having is that the library for reading the FAT file system of the flash card is not being found during compiling. So the code is there and working, but I can't test it because the NDS program can't read the text file to be parsed.

Currently I am hounding the PALib help forum for answers to why the library isn't being recognized or found. Hopefully I will get an answer tonight. I wanted to have the code ported over by tonight so I could work on the button inputs tomorrow. As of right now, I am dead in the water till I either figure out a way to fix this myself, or get help from someone in the PALib forums.

:sighs: I am soo close to getting the beta working..... why can't this work right now?!?!?!?!?
