PS2 SoftDev2 MBR KELF [POC/WIP]

[Berion]

Most of SP193 applications using TTF. In example PS2Ident which in latest @akuhak mod using bg + ttf. Maybe You could look how they did it? ^^

@HWNJ Could You shot a photo from diagonal view on CRT screen?

Diagonal view?

There is a way to invoke red screen for error? If I will fill "hdd0:/__system" enough to not left space for OPL+uLE, it should appears, right?

Just launch it with the hard drive unplugged and the screen will appear red

I've adapted some sources from MechaPwn to manage TTF.

PS: Font is RobotoMono-Regular.

Something is wrong with font rendering. But the good news is, the same glitches are visible in system bitmap font. I was thinking before that this is caused by bitmap system font which isn't designed to be displayed on bright backgrounds (OSDSYS/HDD OSD are dark) but rather no. In case of vector fonts, it looks like not enough anti-aliassing on letters. But system font have very similar issues. Maybe another kind of filtering is turned on (like sharpening, I dunno)?

Well, I decided to fall back to FONTM again, it looked better than any attempt I made with TTF. In addition, I'm gonna return to my job, so no more spare time in several months for PS2 development . In conclusion, I'm gonna release SoftDev2 in this form.

See You then. Good luck and thanks for Your time. ^^

Is there any chance this thread be closed to continue discussion in resource thread?

I can close this thread, but I am not sure if it would work in the resource thread then.
