v0.1.0: races at 13-16 fps (closed experiment)

Closed experiment (stopped for lack of time), published so anyone can continue it. The Eden Switch emulator running natively on a jailbroken PS4 Pro (firmware 12.02, GoldHEN).

This is the last build that reliably reached races (internally "test 24"):

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: menus at 40-60 fps; races load and play at 13-16 fps, with stutters while shaders compile; sound is clean.
• Colors are wrong: red and blue are swapped in the whole image (3D, videos and UI).
• The emulated CPU is the bottleneck (the GPU is never waited on). Projected ceiling for MK8D races on this console: about 20-25 fps at best. See docs/STATUS.md.
• Memory is tight (~4.5 of 4.6 GiB in a race): an occasional hang or crash while a race loads is possible.

Tested on one PS4 Pro (firmware 12.02, GoldHEN) with MK8D, Cuphead and the Homebrew Menu, in 29 console test builds; every test and its result is listed in docs/STATUS.md.

Files

• nx-on-orbis-v0.1.0.pkg: install with GoldHEN. Shows up as "NX on Orbis" (EDPS00001).
• nx-on-orbis-v0.1.0.elf: the exact ELF in the package, to symbolize eboot+0x... offsets in boot.log.

Setup and your own files (keys and firmware dumped from your own Switch, your games): docs/INSTALL.md. No keys, firmware or games are included.

Not affiliated with the Eden project, and built with heavy use of AI assistants. Please do not report anything about this port to Eden.
