OpenNOW PS5 0.0.6

This prerelease adds a DualSense virtual mouse and remote keyboard for game
launchers, login screens and menus that require keyboard/mouse input.
Tag 0.0.6 maps to native content version 00.002.036, title ID PPSA99082.

Changes

  • Press the touchpad alone during streaming to toggle virtual mouse mode.
    Options + touchpad still stops the stream.
  • Move the pointer with the right stick; hold R2/L2 for left/right clicks and
    dragging. Scroll vertically/horizontally with the D-pad. Square cycles three
    pointer speeds.
  • Triangle opens the remote keyboard. It supports lowercase/uppercase letters,
    digits, printable ASCII symbols, Enter, Escape, Tab, Backspace, arrow keys,
    Shift, Ctrl and Alt on the session's US QWERTY layout.
  • Reuse PS5 control icons for the on-screen shortcuts, with matching touchpad,
    right-stick and trigger symbols.
  • Send native NVIDIA keyboard and mouse packets over the reliable input channel,
    including protocol-version envelopes, paired presses/releases and modifier
    chords. Request the server-rendered pointer rather than estimating its position.
  • Suppress gamepad input while virtual mode is active. Cancel pending strokes and
    release held keys/buttons on mode changes, controller disconnection and stop;
    retry failed releases while the input channel remains available.
  • Mask local typing feedback without keeping or logging a plaintext input string.
    Remote launcher fields control their own password masking.
  • Draw controls over software video and native GPU video, with a bounded-luminance
    HDR overlay.

Validation and limitations

Host streaming/protocol regressions passed with ASan/UBSan, including fixed
keyboard/mouse wire fixtures, modifier chords, cancelled input and failed-release
retries. Both keyboard pages were visually checked with synthetic previews.
The native GPU package was built on the Linux VPS and its import audit passed;
the overlay shaders passed GLSL validation.

The feature build was installed on the console with all 32 activated files
SHA-256 verified in confirmed raw SELF transfer mode and the previous complete
title tree retained for rollback. The release increments content metadata to
00.002.036. Launcher input, remote cursor capture and HDR overlay appearance
still require user acceptance on console. No new FPS or HDR playback results are
claimed. USB keyboard/mouse support and a full keyboard/mouse gameplay mapping
are not included.

Installation

Download OpenNOW-PS5-0.0.6.zip, its manifest and SHA256SUMS. Verify checksums,
close OpenNOW and retain a rollback copy before replacing the complete
PPSA99082 folder through a compatible native homebrew directory loader.
Preserve /data/opennow, which contains private login and launch-age data.
This is a directory package, not a retail PKG.

The source archive includes tracked sources, pinned upstream revisions and
licenses. Release assets exclude personal configuration, private console repair
tools, diagnostics, captures, dumps and proprietary SDK binaries.
