Title

Gex Trilogy (PPSA28542)

Content version tested

01.010.000

AnyPS5 commit

main 44a59edc3a.

System tested

Linux 7.2.9 (Arch), Ryzen 9 7950X, Radeon RX 6650 XT, RADV Mesa 26.2.4, GCC, Release.

Furthest point

Menus (the first game's level card)

What is shown

• Without system fonts it stops 24 s in with Illegal instruction. The title's own ImGui font setup asserts (imgui_libfont_prospero.cpp(150) : Assertion Failed (ret == (0)) in function Init) after [libSceFont] no file for system font set 0x18070444, and raises sceKernelDebugRaiseException.
• With ANYPS5_SYSTEM_FONTS pointing at Noto fonts (Sans plus Sans CJK), it runs the full 180 s with Cross pressed every 15 s. It shows the collection's "Press X to start" screen at 30 and 60 s, then the first Gex game's start screen at 95 s, then the "Cemetery" level card at 135 and 175 s. The window title reports 59.9 FPS from 38 s on, with no driver stop. The level card stays up from 135 s; I didn't check whether it would continue with other input.

Only Cross and a held stick input were scripted, so gameplay, the other two games, saving and audio were not checked.

Current blocker

None seen with system fonts. Without them, the title's font initialization fails.

How it was run

relinker --registry --rpath <build>/core/libs/libs eboot.elf app.elf

Modules in sce_module are converted with the title. The dump has its PlayGo files, so no PlayGo setting was used. The second run set ANYPS5_SYSTEM_FONTS to a directory of Noto Sans and Noto Sans CJK fonts.

AI-assisted testing and report: yes, Claude Code.
