Title

Gamedec: Definitive Edition (PPSA12363)

Content version tested

v1.5.0 (r43871), the version string shown on the menu. The dump has no PlayGo metadata files.

AnyPS5 commit

main 474030e584, with no extra PRs.

System tested

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

Furthest point

Main menu: New Content, New Game, Options, About Us.

What is shown

Three 300 s runs, APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed. Each lasted until the scheduled close at 292 to 293 s, exit 0, with no driver failure.

• The menu renders at about 15 to 18 FPS, after about 50 to 58 FPS on the first screens.
• Cross on New Content opens the dialog listing the installed content, "Cthulhu" and "Seven Daemons", with "Hold ✕ to proceed / ○ Close".
• In the later runs, 2.5 s Cross holds and a D-pad Down at 60 s did not move the menu cursor off New Content.

Current blocker

Not identified. I could not drive the menu past New Content with the scripted pad: Down does not move the cursor. That may be the input script, not the emulator.

How it was run

relinker --registry --rpath <build>/core/libs/libs eboot.elf app.elf
APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed ./app.elf

AI-assisted testing and report: yes.
