AnyPS5 commit

main 7ab4b2e for the played runs, no pull requests or local changes on top. The crash was reproduced again on main 53a0a27 from a fresh conversion.

System tested

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (AMD proprietary driver 26.10.1), Ryzen 7 5800X3D, GCC 15.2.0 (WinLibs 15.2.0posix-14.0.0-ucrt-r7)

Furthest point

In game

What is shown

Played in game with a DualSense: picture, audio and controller input work. The game starts at about 60 FPS and settles around 35 FPS in gameplay. Output 1920x1080. In the logged run (empty shader cache, about 155 s, closed by me) the log reports 418-600 presents per 10 s early on, then a steady 330-360. Per frame the GPU is busy about 6.7 ms with about 20 ms idle gaps, so the title is bound by the queue-0 draw committer on the CPU (#7895): about 200,000 DRAW_INDEX_2 packets per 10 s at about 33 us each. Only 157 graphics and 4 compute pipelines were built.

Current blocker

A crash at the first mission load on main: one of my three played runs, and 5 of 10 unattended runs into the mission on 53a0a27 with APS5_TRACE_FLUSH=1 APS5_TRACE_MEMORY=1, end in an access violation on a Unity thread (AssetGarbageCollectorHelper, Loading.PreloadManager, Gfx Task Executor) over corrupted heap data, or once in unsupported PM4 packet type: header 0x00000000 in a command buffer that was overwritten. Cause: pending storage-image results of memory the game unmapped are stored later over the new heap it maps at the same addresses. Fix: #8932 (0 crashes in 10 runs with it). When it loads, the game plays without crashing.

How it was run

relinker --windows --registry --sce-module-path app0 --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins app0/eboot.bin app.exe

The dump's eboot.bin and its 16 .prx files (sce_module, Media/Modules, Media/Plugins) are SELF containers, unwrapped with tools/unwrap_self.py first. Unity title: the modules in Media/Modules and Media/Plugins need --module-dir. tools/import_audit.py (with --modules for each of the three folders) reports 0 absent imports and 38 throwing stubs (sceAjm*, NpCppWebApi iterators, sceSystemServiceLoadExec). No APS5_* variables are needed to play; the measured run used APS5_PROFILE_DRAW=1 APS5_PROFILE_GPU=1 APS5_LOG_TIMESTAMPS=1 APS5_TRACE_SUMMARY_EVERY=10. Default in-game settings. The unattended runs last 45 s, with cross pressed every 2 s through APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE to reach the mission, after one warm-up run.

Conversion, log reading and this report were prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code); the in-game result (FPS, picture, audio) was observed by me.
