I would like a peice of homebrew that functions similar to luaplayer for windows, but on psp... sounds confusing.
Basically, its an eboot which reads a config file. The eboot contains the lua libraries, and the config links to a lua script. Therefore, to the user, it would appear that they are booting a lua script as an eboot from either the xmb or the eLoader.
Thanks,
And I DID search, so don't go attacking me. |

Points: 30.04 Donate | | | I seem to remeber (and I could be wrong, so forgive me) that there is a way to package luaplayer into an eboot with the script. Unfortunatly, there were a few problems to this:
1) Used a very, very early form of lua (I think v. 0.08 when newer verrsions were out)
2) Only 1/2 the scripts would run at the time, and many that ran would glitch
3) Bloated file size (due to the addition of lua in every script)
4) Only ran on f/w 1.5
Thus, the last I rember hearing of this project was in November 2005. I think it has been discontinued.

Points: 1.17 Donate | | | I'm suprised no one has made anything like this yet, it would be useful to all lua coders. It would make lua seem much less inferior. That's one of the things that makes people look down on lua, I still like it though. |

Points: 1.23 Donate | | | Well, if you send me the script, I'd be able to make an eboot for you that runs the lua script, so it'd appear you'd be running an eboot. |
