Syntax

#include <revolution/mpdl.h>
u32     MPDLStartDownload( void );
u32     MPDLStartDownloadEx( u32 bitmap );

Arguments

bitmap Bitset of AIDs for which further entries should not be accepted.
Specify 0xFFFF to block them all and 0x0000 to allow them all.
Calling the MPDLStartDownload function with no argument is equivalent to calling MPDLStartDownloadEx with 0xFFFF specified.

Return Values

Returns a bitmap indicating those players that were entered to receive downloads at the point the deadline for download entries was reached.

Description

Determines whether to accept new player entries at the same time as starting processing of downloads to currently connected players. New player entries will automatically be rejected for connections on a closed AID.

Calling the MPDLStartDownload function with no argument is the same as calling MPDLStartDownloadEx with an argument of 0xFFFF: No new entry will be accepted as soon as downloads start.
