Move sceGeEdramSetSize function to sceGe_driver

[diamant3]

PR is based on https://spenon-dev.github.io/PSPLibDoc/modules/ge.prx_sceGe_driver.html and https://github.com/uofw/uofw/blob/master/include/ge_kernel.h#L294

Also adjust the flags version of sceGe_driver and sceGe_user based on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Spenon-dev/PSPLibDoc/main/PSPLibDoc/6.60/PSPLibDoc_6.60.xml

Hopefully could fix the issue #139

I am not able to test this, since I this seems to move the function to a place that requires kernel mode and I don't know how to trigger that.

I have the following code from the issue which compiles:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)

project(edramsize)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
  main.c
)

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
  pspdebug
  pspdisplay
  pspge
  pspge_driver
)

create_pbp_file(
    TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME}
    ICON_PATH NULL
    BACKGROUND_PATH NULL
    PREVIEW_PATH NULL
    TITLE ${PROJECT_NAME}
)

main.c:

#include <pspkernel.h>
#include <pspdisplay.h>
#include <pspge.h>

PSP_MODULE_INFO("PSP VRAM ISSUE", 0, 1, 0);
PSP_MAIN_THREAD_ATTR(THREAD_ATTR_USER);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    pspDebugScreenInit(); // Initialize the debug screen

    struct KernelCallArg args = {0x400000};
    if (sceGeEdramSetSize(0x400000) == 0)
    {
        pspDebugScreenPrintf("sceGeEdramSetSize 4MB ok\n"); // Never called
    }
    else
    {
        pspDebugScreenPrintf("sceGeEdramSetSize 4MB ERROR\n"); // Called
    }

    pspDebugScreenPrintf("%i", sceGeEdramGetSize()); // Prints "2097152" instead of the double

    while (1)
    {
        sceDisplayWaitVblankStart();
    }
}

I get a 0x8002013C error when trying to start it.

One thing of note, with this change you need to link to pspge_driver.

This PR is moving sceGeEdramSetSize to a kernel library. You're attempting to use it in a usermode application, which won't work. You'll need to use kubridge or write your own kernel -> user plugin to use this. Also, don't you have to initialize this with sceGeEdramInit before attempting to call sceGeEdramSetSize?

Thanks for testing! too bad we're same result.

I'm trying to learn how to work on this one here: https://uofw.github.io/upspd/docs/software/ModuleTutorialv1.pdf but not sure if this is the correct one to get this thing work. also practicing some samples from https://github.com/pspdev/pspsdk/tree/master/src/samples/prx. Right now, I'm really confused how this thing works and I don't want to go down to the rabbit hole for this(hopefully not😅). Should I draft this, close it or just open?

I applied this one too, I tried the kubridge and calling the sceGeEdramInit first, both PPSSPP(like 0x8002013C or 0x8002013A errors I always got and sometimes it's just a violet screen with the same error :( ) and PSP(just exiting with a 0x8002013C error) but it's not working to me, also something like sceKernelLoadModule functions I tried but no luck. last but not the least, I tried to use the setK1 or something to trick my eboot.pbp to call the kernel functions but it's not working to me too.

I wouldn't use PPSSPP for testing kernel->user functionality. However, I know you should be able to use kuKernelCall like this: https://github.com/joel16/CMFileManager-PSP/blob/30b0be604e4ea9cf770bd4c56e7db1af8355fbbb/app/source/kernel_functions.cpp#L10

I'll take note of that, and thanks for the code! I'll try that one.

For now, I'll draft this because it's currently not working.

[diamant3]

I will close this PR because I can't get it to work, and this PR will probably get stuck in here.

Hopefully someone can work on this and solve the issue. Thanks.
