notpsxserial's Issues

Compiling on Linux fails because of case sensitive filesystem

In order to compile under linux, some modifications to the nops_proj.csproj are needed :

ABelliqueux@581233e

l.47 and l.59 : Change ELFSharp.dll to ElfSharp.dll.

l.199 : Change <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSHARP.Targets" /> to <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />

A partial solution would be to rename ELFSharp.dll to ElfSharp.dll in the repo, as it would reflect the path used in the project file.

I have no suggestion for the second part, as it looks like the csproj is generated automatically ?

Unhandled IOException on GNU/Linux (EAGAIN)

I tried to upload the test executable with mono nops.exe /exe psx_helloworld.exe /dev/ttyUSB0 and almost every time it failed with an IO exception. Once it worked, which leads me to believe it's a race condition somewhere.

$ mono nops.exe /exe psx_helloworld.exe /dev/ttyUSB0

        Note: You may have to install mono and launch via 'mono nops.exe /args' if...
      - Windows cant put your serial device (FTDI, etc) into 115200baud
      - You are using a Sharklink/Net Yaroze cable
      - Any flavour of *nix/OSX

The "Resource temporarily unavailable" string corresponds to the EAGAIN errno.

GDB Server Crash On Remote Disconnect

When the GDB bridge client disconnects, either unexpectedly or after a standard transfer, the program crashes in GDB.cs

RecieveCallback: ConnectionReset exception - need to overload EndReceive call with an out parameter for the error code

Similar crash in MonitorSerialToSocket & RecieveCallback

It seems this file might have several function calls with unhandled error catches. need to review error handling/catching, and consider remote disconnect behavior e.g.: exit vs restart

Poke16 Writes only the first 8 bits

poke8 and 32 work just fine but for some reason only the 1st 8-bits of Poke-16 seem to work (I double checked using /dump)

Please add optional filename argument for /dump

This is so awesome tool I have no words. I created serial cable and now having fun with patching games on the fly.
I do have one small feature request:
Is it possible to add optional filename argument for /dump option, and effectively be able to override that file if its presented. This is for scripted dumps.

Also: are you planning pc fileserver and STDIN functionality in monitor mode?

EDIT: never mind about STDIN, I can see from code that should even work. Will attempt to build this. You accept pullrequests? I could try to do add optional filename for /dump. I recently started with C# and should be cool challenge and I really want to help
