Read file asynchronously without blocking the game
« on: September 18, 2016, 08:36:45 pm »
I added some functions to read file asynchronously, because I working on a video reader, but it's working for any file and any usage :)

If you're interested, here 's how it works:

The function bellow will be called when the file is loaded:

Code: [Select]
void            my_async_read(char *contents, int length, int optional_token)
{
}

To read a file asynchronously, you just have to call jo_fs_read_file_async() with the filename, the callback and an optional token (user value for the callback)

Code: [Select]
jo_fs_read_file_async("DEMO.TXT", my_async_read, 0);

In attachement, you will find a sample code to load a background image (TGA) from the CD asynchronously

is it possible to execute this function while the CD is playing some music? I'm trying here but the music stops.


Tks man!!!!

I think the problem is when the console will read a image from the CD it stops to read the music... I don't know if it can read two things at the same time!

You can read multiple file at the same time but not with the audio CD (I think)
