Homebrew catalog on main d8888df9b (Windows, AMD): 23 titles reach their own UI

[LeandroLP23]

A run of the catalog homebrew titles that the blocker map lists below Menus, on plain main d8888df. Many entries there come from runs on main plus PRs 3-5 days ago, and most of those stops are merged now.

Setup: Windows 11 (26300), Radeon 860M (RDNA 3.5, driver 32.0.13058.8001), WinLibs GCC 15.2.0, Release, no local changes. Catalog releases relinked with --windows; the titles marked † need --trap-sdk-syscall-stubs to relink. 60 s per title, audio muted, frames from APS5_DUMP_FRAMES.

Reach their own UI and run 60 s without a stop (23)

‡ On a first run with empty caches these three stop on the PS5 RADV port's 10 s submission wait (radv/ps5: the GPU has not reached submission N in 10 s, then the UI kit or vkQueueWaitIdle fails with -4), the first-run case of #4399 (upstream mihawk-99/PS5_Mesa#3). The figures above are the second run.

Mortalfin, Nuvio Max'd and Stremio Plus end with abort() (exit 0xc0000409) when the window is closed after 60 s, not while running.

PS5VR (PPSA99177) shows its home screen ("Put on your PlayStation VR2") after 46.7 s on main, and presents only that one frame without a headset, as its main loop intends. The 45 s before it are refused connects to 127.0.0.1:17600, which #5141 cuts to 4.0 s.

Nuvio (PPSA99997) runs 60 s at 59.9 FPS but the third dump still shows its loading screen.

Update: Ruffle Flash, VLC and XPSemu need --windows-fixed-base 0x400000 (#4013), which this run first left out, so they faulted at 3 s. Rerun with it on main 9a3e2ac (--windows --registry --windows-fixed-base 0x400000): Ruffle Flash (PPSA68091) runs 60 s at 81 FPS and shows its library ("No games yet", Games tab); VLC and XPSemu are below.

Still stopping on main

Title	ID	Stop
VLC	PPSA85300	runs 60 s at 20 FPS but its welcome page shows only the background (#5731); fixed by #5791
XPSemu	PPSA97358	its GPU probe hits the RADV 10 s wait at 19 s, vk_result = -4 then an assertion in render_geom_shader_triangles (#5437)
ProsperoPuzzles	PPSA99006	multisampled image resources have no descriptor image shape at 4 s (#3036)
ProsperoLight	PPSA99002	poll: descriptor 11 is neither a socket nor a pipe at 19 s (#4933)
RetroArch	PPSA99169	sceSystemServiceLoadExec: /app0/picker/picker.bin without its converted executable (needs a relink with --executable picker/picker.bin)
PICO-8 for PS5	PPSA99808	exits at once: "could not get access to /data. Make sure elfldr is running"

Not covered: input past these screens, NVIDIA and Intel, Linux.

NVIDIA data point for the catalog titles above, which were run on AMD. Plain main 5d9dcc42d, no local changes.

Setup: Windows 11 Pro, Intel Core i5-11600K, GeForce RTX 3060 (Windows driver version 32.0.16.1742), WinLibs GCC 15.2.0 r7, Release. Catalog releases relinked with --windows --to-intel --registry --windows-diagnostics. Each title ran 40 s from a fresh output folder; the catalog checksums matched.

Title	ID	Result
Syobon Action	PPSA47402	Runs 45 s, ~27 FPS (1200 flips), assets load, no stop
DriftCheck	PPSA98766	Vulkan device and swapchain created, DriftCheck ready, no stop in 40 s
PShare	PPSA99773	Window title reads 59.95 FPS, no stop
Prospero Explorer	PPSA99109	Runs 40 s, opens its folders
Prospero Multi Tools	PPSA99110	Runs 40 s, scans the USB mount paths

I found no stop on NVIDIA for these five. Results come from the logs and the window title FPS counter; I did not compare the rendered frames.

Not covered: input past the first screen, audio, closing the window, Intel iGPU, Linux.

Linux run of 15 of these titles on plain main 5d9dcc4: CachyOS, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (driver 615.78.08), Ryzen 7 5800H, Wayland, GCC 16.2.1, Release. Each title was relinked with --trap-sdk-syscall-stubs (plus --linux-fixed-base 0x400000 for Ruffle, VLC and XPSemu), with the original eboot.bin kept in app0/, and run for 90 s on a fresh shader cache. Six were then used by hand.

All 15 present their own screen for the full 90 s; none stops.

Title	ID	Notes
Jelly5	PPSA99505	server setup screen; input works
Mortalfin	PPSA99141	fully interactive; adding a server works
OliSe Player	PPSA01153	59.9–60 FPS (own counter); its downloads fail with libSceHttp2's offline ERROR_NETWORK, as intended on main
Ruffle Flash	PPSA68091	menu fully interactive
Stremio Plus	PPSA74126	59.9 FPS (own UI pacing log)
RommPS	PPSA76677	119.88 Hz not supported; presents at 59.94 Hz
VLC	PPSA85300	setup and normal use work
XPSemu	PPSA97358	no RADV 10 s wait on NVIDIA
ProsperoLight	PPSA99002	launches; all settings interactive
ProsperoTV	PPSA99003	HTTPS fails on main with the missing CA_LIST.cer (#5001); works with #5280
ProsperoAI	PPSA99004	finds 0 GGUF models (none supplied)
ProsperoPuzzles	PPSA99006	fully works, with 4x MSAA canvases; the descriptor-shape stop from the Windows table (#3036) does not occur on this GPU
Nuvio Max'd	PPSA99288	59.9–60 FPS (own counter)
PS5VR	PPSA99177	vr: headset setup failed (no headset)
PSXS5	PPSA97510	UI draw 3.0 ms, present 13.7 ms per frame; game database download needs #5280

OliSe Player, Stremio Plus and PSXS5 did not exit within 10 s of SIGTERM at the end of the run and had to be killed; the other 12 exited.

Not covered: input on the nine titles without a hand-use note, and closing through the window.

Correction for Mortalfin (PPSA99141): its menus and adding a server work as listed above, but it stops on main 5d9dcc4 as soon as a video starts playing, with Videodec2: output deeper than 8 bits is not implemented (#6640 ).

Linux and Intel iGPU for four of the catalog titles, since the post lists that combination as not covered.

Setup: Intel Core i7-6500U, Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2, 0x1916), Mesa 25.2.8 ANV in an Ubuntu 24.04 container, Debian 13 host, kernel 6.12 (i915). main 5adefa6f8, Release. Weston headless with the GL renderer plus Xwayland (Xvfb has no DRI3, so ANV cannot present there and device selection silently falls back to llvmpipe). Catalog zips checked against their sha256, eboot.bin and sce_module/libc.prx unwrapped, relinked with --to-intel, libs from the same commit. Frame times from APS5_DUMP_FRAMES timestamps. Input from APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE.

Title	ID	Result on HD 520 / Linux
Capy Mobile	PPSA92280	Menu and snake gameplay at 60 FPS (16.7 ms)
Syobon Action	PPSA47402	Title screen ~22 FPS (p50 45.6 ms). Level 1-1 ~19 FPS (p50 ~51.7 ms, 3 runs). About 12 ms of each frame is flip/present, the rest is the title's own CPU work. It does not exit on SIGINT, which looks like the window-close stop in #5931
ccleste	PPSA59322	Aborts at start: Gen9 has no fragmentShaderBarycentric (#5079)
Yamagi Quake II	PPSA99007	Stops in about 1.5 s with eglSwapBuffers failed 0x300d

On Yamagi: the title asks for 120 Hz output (sceVideoOutIsOutputSupported, mode 15). The host display here is 60 Hz, so AnyPS5 returns 0x80290016 and the title's ps5-opengl runtime fails to open its present surface, with no fallback to 60 Hz. With a temporary local patch that reports 120 Hz as supported (reverted, not proposed), it reaches the main menu at ~9 FPS (~73 ms of GPU time per frame). Your 59.9 FPS on Windows fits this: the stop depends on what refresh rate the host reports, not on the title.

AI-assisted: yes. The runs are real, on my machine.
