Title

Superliminal (PPSA06084)

Content version tested

01.010.000

AnyPS5 commit

main 81cb863 with my open PR #7603 merged on top. #7603 is a shader recompiler change for coherent dwordx2 stores, and I don't expect it to matter for this title. libs/ built from the same tree.

System tested

Windows 11 Pro 26300, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, RTX 5090 32 GB (NVIDIA 617.42), 64 GB RAM, WinLibs GCC 15.2.0

Furthest point

In game

What is shown

• The main menu (New Game, Options, Extra Modes, Credits) renders correctly.
• New Game plays the intro and starts the first room. The stick tutorial is shown, and looking around and walking work. Input was driven with APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE.
• 59.9 FPS in the menu, the intro and the first room, steady over runs of 3.5 to 7 minutes.
• HDR output on an HDR display. The picture looks right on screen.
• Audio, keyboard and mouse works as intended.

No NotImplemented stop, no crash and no unresolved import:

• tools/import_audit.py: 0 absent imports and 40 stubs (AJM, AGC markers and capture, AudioIn, WebBrowserDialog cookies, sceNpTrophy2GetRewardIcon, __tls_get_addr).
• None of the stubs was called in these runs.
• Log lines worth noting: sceSysmoduleLoadModule unknown id: 295 (the title carries on), and two shader library prebuild skipped: DescriptorBindingBuilder::Populate multisampled array image resources have no descriptor image shape at startup.

Current blocker

None seen up to the first room. Not played further yet.

How it was run

• Source: my own copy. eboot.bin and all modules are plain ELF, so nothing needed unwrapping.
• Modules: the title loads modules from three directories, and all three must be converted with the same build:
  • sce_module
  • Media/Modules (Il2CppUserAssemblies.prx, PS5Util.prx)
  • Media/Plugins (FMOD, Resonance Audio, PSN and save data plugins)

relinker --windows --sce-module-path source --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins source/eboot.bin superliminal.exe

• Without --module-dir Media/Modules it stops at once: Failed to load module: ...\libs\Il2CppUserAssemblies.prx, GetLastError: 126.
• In one run, Media/Plugins still held modules converted by an older build. That run crashed 4 s in, in libfmod.prx.guest.prx (0xc0000005). Converting them with the same build fixed it.
• Layout: the converted modules sit next to the originals under app0/sce_module, app0/Media/Modules and app0/Media/Plugins, as the relinker writes them.
• Settings: none.

Tested with AI assistance (Claude Code). I played and measured the runs on my own machine.

Thank you for the detailed bring-up report and reproduction steps!

The note regarding --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins is especially valuable for other users running Unity / IL2CPP titles, where game assemblies and audio plugins (FMOD / Resonance) reside outside sce_module and need to be relinked together against the same runtime build.

Regarding the sceSysmoduleLoadModule unknown id: 295 (0x0127) log, that corresponds to internal system service loading which gracefully falls through without blocking playback. Excellent confirmation that audio, HDR presentation, and gameplay controls are fully functional.
