KytyPlus v2.9

Tag: v2.9 (e6f4b87)
License: GPL-2.0
Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux

This is a launcher-and-polish release. The launcher graduates from "barebones game list" to a full game-library manager with one-click PKG install, per-game controller remapping, and delete. The core emulator received dozens of merge-resolution fixes that unblocked compilation on both macOS and Windows CI. No new game dumps were used to validate — testers are the bottleneck.

Launcher — game library (major)

The launcher is now a genuine game manager, not just a list widget:

  • Install Package (.pkg): Click "Install Package," select a .pkg file, and the launcher runs kyty_emulator --install-pkg asynchronously in the background. The GUI no longer freezes during extraction. After extraction completes, the launcher recursively copies all files (including nested sce_sys/ directories) into games/<content_id>/ and rescans the library. The game appears in the list automatically.
  • Delete game: Right-click any game in the list and choose "Delete game..." — removes the entire game folder from disk after a confirmation dialog. Disabled while the game is running.
  • Game settings panel: Click "Go To Settings" on any game to access the full configuration dialog, now with controller mapping at the bottom.

Controller remapping

The launcher's settings dialog has a new Controller Mapping panel with 24 rebindable controls:

  • Every PS5 button (Cross, Circle, Triangle, Square, D-Pad, L1–L3, R1–R3, Options, Touchpad, left/right stick axes, triggers) can be rebound to a keyboard key, mouse button, or gamepad button.
  • Click any row, press your desired input — the launcher captures whatever you press.
  • Mappings are serialized as --keymap Cross=Key:X --keymap Circle=Pad:B arguments passed to the emulator at launch.
  • Works for wired AND wireless controllers (SDL's SDL_GameControllerOpen handles both).
  • The emulator-side InputMap now understands Pad:ButtonName, Key:Name, and Mouse:Button bindings.
  • Gamepad buttons are also routed through the custom map, not bypassed.

Build fixes (dozens)

The merge from upstream KytyPS5 introduced compile errors across ~20 files. All have been resolved:

  • Memory subsystem: Missing closing braces in CommitFixedHostRange (cascading 20+ errors); added ReserveAlignedFailed and UnmapRollbackFailed to FailureReason enum.
  • Graphics pipeline: Restored ImageViewKindCount → SampledImageViewKindCount rename throughout; fixed depth_bias_constant_factor / depth_bias_slope_factor members; restored DrawEmitInfo NGG fields; added missing Config include.
  • Shader recompiler: Restored rect-list shader generation (BuildRectListShaders, tessellation module declarations); restored CanonicalizeNaturalLoops, SelectionRegion, and block_budget in CFG; removed duplicate ImageGradientComponents; added missing OpcodeTable.h include to VectorAluOps.cpp; added using Detail::Lookup and fixed FindVop2SdwaRule arg.
  • Kernel: Added PTHREAD_STACK_BOTTOM constant.
  • Presentation: Added hostInput.h include in window.cpp; restored HostInputKey, HostInputMouseButton, HostInputInit paths.
  • Controller: Restored ControllerResetInputState declaration and implementation.
  • PFS parser: Fixed 8-byte dirent name padding for correct directory enumeration.
  • ImGui: Added imgui target to kyty_emulator link libraries (fixes fatal error: 'imgui.h' file not found).

What was removed

  • Firmware / PUP boot path: PUP firmware parsing and module loading were reverted. KytyPlus is now purely HLE — no Sony firmware modules are loaded or required. This eliminates legal gray area around firmware distribution and simplifies the boot path.
  • Redundant "Configure Controller" button: Removed from the main launcher window; controller mapping is now only in the per-game settings dialog (scroll to the bottom).

Legal

Clean HLE emulator. Does not ship Sony code or keys, does not decrypt or circumvent DRM, requires already-decrypted content supplied by the user, and does not provide instructions or tooling for producing it. GPL-2.0.
