Title

Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition (PPSA02306)

Content version tested

01.000.000

AnyPS5 commit

main 474030e584, and the same main with #6959 merged in locally (head 327addf79e, merge 19acd6685d).

System tested

Linux 7.2.11 (Arch), Ryzen 9 7950X, Radeon RX 6650 XT, RADV Mesa 26.2.6, GCC, Release.

Furthest point

In-game with #6959: the fox in the snowfield, and it moves.

What is shown

The dump has its PlayGo files, so no override is needed. Each run was 300 s: Cross every 12 s from 30 s, then left stick forward from 210 s.

Build	Result
main	The title runs to the scheduled close at 293 s, exit 0, at about 10 to 13 FPS. The picture is almost black the whole time: screenshot mean luminance is 0 to 1.7 of 255, and one frame shows only a faint outline of the fox.
+ #6959	Correct images: the fox sitting in the snow with falling snowflakes at 100 s, then the fox from behind in an open snowfield with mountains, after the stick input. Mean luminance is 150 to 210. Same frame rate, about 10.7 FPS, exit 0 at 293 s.

Current blocker

None in 300 s with #6959. Without it, the scene is dark: the UE4 layered-target case #6959 fixes, also seen on OCTOPATH TRAVELER II's map (#9593). The frame rate, about 11 FPS, has not been investigated.

How it was run

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

AI-assisted testing and report: yes.

Now that #6959 and #4449 are merged, plain main 88e804b0a7 (no other PRs) renders the title correctly. RX 6650 XT, RADV Mesa 26.2.6, Linux. In a 300 s run with scripted Cross presses, the screenshots from 25 s to 285 s are all lit (mean brightness 160 to 212 out of 255, where main before #6959 was near-black), and there are no failed host imports. Median FPS after 60 s is about 13.5 (about 10.7 with #6959 on 10-31). Exit 0 at the scheduled close.

AI-assisted: yes (Claude Code).
