netlog.irx

[misfire]

Here's the source code of netlog.irx. I developed it originally for debugging purposes and to get used to IOP/RPC programming.

From the README:

netlog 1.1 - Copyright (C) 2009 misfire <misfire@xploderfreax.de>


  DESCRIPTION

The netlog IOP module allows you to send (UDP) log messages to a remote host.


  USAGE

Simply execute SifLoadModule() or use ps2client to run netlog.

$ ps2client -t 1 execiop host:netlog.irx

To use the service from your IRX, add netlog.h to your irx_imports.h file.

Also, add the following to imports.lst:

netlog_IMPORTS_start
I_netlog_init
I_netlog_exit
I_netlog_send
netlog_IMPORTS_end

Call those functions inside your IRX to init the netlog service and start
sending log messages. Please note that netlog_send() does NOT support floating
point format specifiers like %f.

On the remote host, you can use netcat to grab the log messages in UDP mode.

Example:

$ nc -l -u -p 7411

The messages should appear on the screen.


  RPC

netlog comes with an RPC interface. To enable it, define NETLOG_RPC inside the
Makefile.

Cool; thanks for sharing. There seems to be a shortage of PS2 network-related source out there...

It's also very useful for Core Launcher and similar projects to send debug messages during gameplay. Jimmi said he would add it soon.

Ah; very cool. Perhaps that will allow us to better ascertain why certain games fail.

Viper's been doing work on the comparative search features; we shall soon have basic code-hacking functionality
