Antonio Guastella cf5f57180f Feature/mc0 IO + Win IO fixes (#57)
* mc0: map memory card paths to mcRoot and related io tests

* Fix mc0 test setup to initialize temp paths

* fix: implementing WIN32 I/O support in syscalls

* fix: avoid fioWrite deadlock

Do not lock the fd map while calling getHostFile; use the syscall file mutex around fwrite instead

Runtime Library

The runtime library provides the execution environment for recompiled code, including:

  • Memory management (32MB main RAM, scratchpad, etc.)
  • Register context (128-bit GPRs, VU0 registers, etc.)
  • Function table for dynamic linking
  • Basic PS2 system call stubs

How to use:

Take your decompiled code and place the cpp files on ps2xRuntime/src/runner and header files on ps2xRuntime/include and compile/be happy.

Adding Custom Function Implementations

You can add custom implementations for PS2 system calls or game functions by:

  1. Creating function implementations that match the signature:
void function_name(uint8_t* rdram, R5900Context* ctx, PS2Runtime *runtime);
  1. Registering them with the runtime:
runtime.registerFunction(address, function_name);

Advanced Features

Memory Translation The runtime handles PS2's memory addressing, including:

  • KSEG0/KSEG1 direct mapping
  • TLB lookups for user memory
  • Special memory areas (scratchpad, I/O registers)

Vector Unit Support

PS2-specific 128-bit MMI instructions and VU0 macro mode instructions are supported via SSE/AVX intrinsics.

Instruction Patching

You can patch specific instructions in the recompiled code to fix game issues or implement custom behavior.

Limitations

  • Graphics and sound output require external implementations
  • Some PS2-specific hardware features may not be fully supported
  • Performance may vary based on the complexity of the game
