Title

SudokuZen (PPSA50001)

First report

The fields below describe one run. Other systems and content versions are added to the thread as replies.

Content version tested

01.000.010

AnyPS5 commit

v0.1.3 release binaries (relinker-v0.1.3.exe, prx-windows-v0.1.3.zip), tag commit 3fd1cc393b8512c2e989860053f30dee5a8cd1aa; not built from main, no pull requests applied.

System tested

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 26100, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (AMD driver 32.0.21045.16010, Vulkan 1.4.315); release binaries, no local compiler.

Furthest point

Stops before the first frame

What is shown

A 1500x874 window opens with a black client area and stays black. No presents, no title output, no error line.

The process exits by itself after about 3.0 s with exit code 1. No what(), no FATAL crash report, no [present] line.

The title writes [HUI] entry as the first statement of its main() (src/main.cpp, tag 01.000.010). That line never appears, neither on a console nor redirected, so it stops before the first statement of main().

Same result with the title's own converted libc.prx and with --skip-sce-module, so it is not the module conversion.

APS5_TRACE_EXIT=1 prints nothing.

Current blocker

Exits with code 1 before the title's first log line, and no AnyPS5 diagnostic names the cause.

Ruled out: the module conversion (identical with --skip-sce-module) and the import set (tools/import_audit.py reports 0 stubs, 0 absent, 3 partial: scePadOpen, __tls_get_addr, sceSystemServiceLoadExec).

Unconfirmed candidate: the title's only explicit exit path is sceSystemServiceLoadExec("exit", nullptr) in hui::sys::quit(), and that import is partial in AnyPS5. The title logs before that path, so this does not explain the missing [HUI] entry line.

How it was run

relinker.exe --registry --windows eboot.elf app.exe

eboot.bin unwrapped with tools/unwrap_self.py. The title ships sce_module/libc.prx, converted to libc.prx.guest.prx beside the original.

Layout: app.exe, libs/ (352 .prx and the bundled MinGW DLLs from prx-windows-v0.1.3.zip), app0/ (original eboot.bin, sce_sys/, assets/, sce_module/).

APS5_PROFILE_DRAW=1 APS5_PROFILE_GPU=1 APS5_LOG_TIMESTAMPS=1; no input was sent.

A/B run: relinker.exe --registry --windows --skip-sce-module eboot.elf app.exe, same libs and app0 without libc.prx.guest.prx. Same exit.

Nothing beyond the usage guide.

Full log of the reported run and of the --skip-sce-module A/B. Both are this short because the title writes nothing.

With the title's converted libc.prx, stdout:
