Digital Clock PSP v2.0

Red Digital Clock Green Digital ClockP Blue Digital Clock

A simple digital clock for your PlayStation Portable.
Made with gLib2D by Geecko.

Installation

Download the latest release from releases. Unpack the .zip file and follow the installation instructions on the README.md inside it.

How to use

  • Press L or R to change the clock color.
  • Press Square to change between different brightness modes.
  • Press Select to exit the app.

Error diagnosing

Note

If you follow all the installation instructions correctly (which are very few), no errors should popup on the app.

Error Code Description More info.
ERROR_SETUP_CALLBACKS 0x80000000 Something went wrong while configuring the Exit Callback. Something is likely very wrong with your firmware?
ERROR_TEXTURES_NOT_FOUND 0x80000001 Textures are missing from 'assets/textures/' ! Make sure all PNGs are in the correct directory. The most common, make sure the texture files (0.png, 1.png...) are in their correct directory (assets/textures/).
ERROR_ALLOCATING_TEXTURES 0x80000002 Unable to allocate memory for textures. Probably you're out of RAM, try enabling High Memory Layout in your CFW settings if that option is avaliable. Also, disabling all plugins should help too.
ERROR_GETTING_TIME_RTC 0x80000003 sceRtcGetCurrentClockLocalTime() failed to provide time. Something is likely very wrong with your firmware? Either this or something is patching the function. Disabling all plugins might help?
ERROR_UNKNOWN 0x7FFFFFFF Something unknown went very wrong. This error shouldn't appear at all...

Running / Compiling

Dependencies

You'll need PSPSDK to compile this homebrew. I used this version.

Compiling

  1. Clone the repository, either by using git clone https://github.com/danssmnt/Digital-Clock-PSP, or by going to "Code" -> "Download ZIP" and extracting it on your PC.

Important

(Optional) Set the assets/xmb/CUST_PARAM.SFO file to Read-Only. (To prevent make clean from replacing it).

  1. Go inside the cloned repository and, inside a terminal, write make, it should compile without any errors / warnings.
  2. Run the created EBOOT.PBP on PPSSPP, or directly on your PSP.

Replacing Textures

If you want / need, you can replace all textures inside assets/textures for your own ones.

Keep in mind you should preserve the original aspect ratios of them (1:2 for 0.png -> 9.png and 9:80 for colon.png), otherwise they'll look stretched (unless you modify the code too). Also, textures can't have more than 512 of width or height, because of PSP hardware limitations.

To Do

  • Organize the code better
  • Make a single texture for all sprites
  • Save clock settings
  • XMB icon animation (ICON1.PMF)
  • More Colors
  • Battery indicator
  • Make a minimal fork of glib2d
  • Show date
  • Timer and chronometer
  • Alarm
  • Play music / sounds?
    ...
