Problems with PSP Build

Today a user with a PSP was in our IRC chat channel. So we were able to do a few tests and our result is: The build is somehow broken.

To create the PSP builds we are using a server which automatically compiles the source for us and then publishes a binary (you can find them on our jenkins server). Now the problem is: The code compiles fine but on the PSP the program does not start.

But no active dev is having a PSP for testing (and JPCSP, the emulator, fails to run it) so we can’t find the reason for this.

So we need somebody who knows how to program PSP homebrew and has knowledge of C++. If you know all of this please contact us!
(Issue on github)

Update:
The problem seams to be related with the EBOOT.PBP file, not with our code. With an older file it boots (plays music but no visuals displayed)…

Another Update:
It’s a problem with the toolchain. With an old EBOOT:PBP file the graphic renders sometimes (and music plays)…

Editor map rendering

Map rendering is almost completed. The autotiles are not implemented yet, so at the moment they are drawn as normal tiles.

When switching between layers, some tiles are partially hidden in order to highlight those that are drawn on the selected layer. The event layer shows all the tiles and enables a grid.

The map can be displayed at different scales. Scrolling works correctly.

The map size limit is 500×500 tiles, as in RPG Maker. Huge maps do not need a lot of memory. The memory usage remains below 20 MB at the moment.
