Max Payne 3 RePrescribed 1.0.5

Download MaxPayne3-RePrescribed-1.0.5.zip. Updating from 1.0.1 or later: replace eboot.bin and sce_sys/ in your PPSA95454 folder (from 1.0.0: also sce_module/, payloads/ and hub/), and keep everything else (game/, game2/, dlc/, textures/, saves/, UserData/, menu.ini). New install: copy the whole PPSA95454 folder, see the README.

What's new

• A sharper picture on 4K TVs: the game draws at the Xbox 360's 720p, and until now that picture was simply stretched to your TV. It's now enlarged with AMD's FSR 1 upscaler, after SMAA smooths its jagged edges, so edges, text and detail come out much cleaner. It costs nothing in frame rate. Both are on by default; SETTINGS has the new rows:
  • UPSCALING: FSR 1 or BILINEAR (the old look)
  • SHARPNESS: how hard FSR sharpens (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH; HIGH by default)
  • ANTI-ALIASING: SMAA, FXAA or OFF
• Why not render at 4K itself? It was tried: drawing at 1440p ran at 20-40 fps, and 4K came out black, so the game stays at 720p and is upscaled instead. Thanks for the suggestion.

You need

• A jailbroken PS5 with a payload loader on port 9021 (etaHEN or elfldr)
• Your own Max Payne 3 for the Xbox 360 (both discs) and Title Update 9

Max Payne 3 RePrescribed 1.0.4

Download MaxPayne3-RePrescribed-1.0.4.zip. Updating from 1.0.1 or later: replace eboot.bin and sce_sys/ in your PPSA95454 folder (from 1.0.0: also sce_module/, payloads/ and hub/), and keep everything else (game/, game2/, dlc/, textures/, saves/, UserData/, menu.ini). New install: copy the whole PPSA95454 folder, see the README.

What's new

• Grass fixed: the grass around Max no longer turns into big triangles stretched across the screen (Chapter V's jungle and elsewhere). The game fades out the grass near Max with an Xbox 360 feature (alpha to coverage) that the PS5 side wasn't applying, so those blades were drawn solid. Thanks for the report and the video.
• Cheat menu: press both sticks in (L3 + R3) during the game for the quick menu: god mode, infinite ammo, infinite bullet time, one-shot kills and enemies that ignore you, plus the FPS counter and the DualSense features. The cheats work in single player only and are kept between sessions. SETTINGS > CHEAT MENU switches it off.
• The first time you visit each area after updating, its shaders are rebuilt in the background, so you may see some of the first-play stutter again once.

Max Payne 3 RePrescribed 1.0.3

Download MaxPayne3-RePrescribed-1.0.3.zip. Updating from 1.0.1 or 1.0.2: replace eboot.bin and sce_sys/ in your PPSA95454 folder (from 1.0.0: also sce_module/, payloads/ and hub/), and keep everything else (game/, game2/, dlc/, textures/, saves/, UserData/, menu.ini). New install: copy the whole PPSA95454 folder, see the README.

What's new

• Smoother first play: the stutter on a new install is fixed. New shaders used to be built on the graphics thread in the middle of a frame (100-300 ms freezes whenever a new area came into view); now they're built in the background while the game keeps going. Worth updating if the game stuttered for you.
• PlayStation button icons: the game's prompts, menus and tutorials show Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle, L1/R1/L2/R2 instead of the Xbox buttons. They're the PS3 version's own icons, which the Xbox 360 disc carries too. SETTINGS > BUTTON ICONS switches back to Xbox.
• DualSense features: the light bar follows Max's health (red as it runs low, a flash when he's hit, green for a painkiller, blue in bullet time), the adaptive triggers resist while you aim and kick with each shot, and shots and hits rumble harder. SETTINGS > DUALSENSE FEATURES and FEEDBACK STRENGTH.
• Skip any cutscene: the skip button also skips the cutscenes the game doesn't let you skip; their last seconds still play, so the story carries on as after watching them (the way Fusion Fix does it on the PC).
• Skip intro: straight to the game's menu, without the Rockstar logo movie.
• FPS counter: SETTINGS > FPS COUNTER, simple or detailed, in the top-left corner.
• The settings page scrolls now.

Max Payne 3 RePrescribed 1.0.2

Download MaxPayne3-RePrescribed-1.0.2.zip. Updating from 1.0.1: replace eboot.bin and sce_sys/ in your PPSA95454 folder (from 1.0.0: also sce_module/, payloads/ and hub/), and keep everything else (game/, game2/, dlc/, textures/, saves/, UserData/, menu.ini). New install: copy the whole PPSA95454 folder, see the README.

What's new

• Brazilian Portuguese and Polish: SETTINGS > LANGUAGE now has PORTUGUESE (BR) and POLISH, the two languages Title Update 9 adds on the Xbox 360. They set the game's text, menus and subtitles; voices stay in English. All eight: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Russian.

Max Payne 3 RePrescribed 1.0.1

Download MaxPayne3-RePrescribed-1.0.1.zip. Updating from 1.0.0: replace eboot.bin, sce_sys/, sce_module/, payloads/ and hub/ in your PPSA95454 folder, and keep everything else (game/, game2/, dlc/, textures/, saves/, UserData/, menu.ini). New install: copy the whole PPSA95454 folder, see the README.

What's new

• Languages: SETTINGS > LANGUAGE sets the game's text, menus and subtitles to English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Russian. Voices stay in English.
• Faster loading after PLAY: the shaders saved from earlier sessions are now prepared on several threads. The wait used to grow the longer you'd played (about 2 s now for a typical cache, where it could take 10-15 s).
• Fewer hitches with HD textures, especially at 60 FPS: new textures are uploaded in smaller pieces per frame and read from the drive by two threads.
• Bug reports from the PS5: SAVES > SEND LOGS lets you type what went wrong, uploads the app's logs and shows a QR code. Scan it with your phone to open a GitHub issue here with your report, the logs' link and your settings filled in. (Needs the internet and your payload loader; the logs are readable by anyone with the link.)
• The logs now include file read speeds and the startup shader time.
