New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja (PPSA02801)

[JJenkx]

Tested New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja (PPSA02801) 01.000.003 natively on Linux 7.2.9, Ryzen 9 7950X and Radeon RX 6650 XT with RADV Mesa 26.2.4. This was a short bring-up check, not a full playability or performance report.

Result

On plain main b5d763770a, with no other PRs, the title shows:

• the Classic Modes menu (Arcade, Extend);
• character select (Joe, Mac);
• the first stage in gameplay with the HUD.

It ran at 59.94 FPS throughout the 240 s run and was stopped at the limit without a driver stop or a GPU fault. Host imports: 185 made, 0 refused, 5 failed.

Unity IL2CPP title. Pass the game's own Media/Modules and Media/Plugins to the relinker:

relinker --registry --rpath <build>/core/libs/libs --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins eboot.elf app.elf

APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed was set as a precaution. Input was Cross every 15 to 20 s with two Options presses.

Not verified

The following were not checked:

• later stages;
• two-player play;
• audio output;
• saves;
• long sessions.

AI-assisted testing and report: yes, Claude Code.

Build note: the recorded source head was 505943c4ef, which is main b5d763770a plus the #9079 commit. That commit changes only the Python helper tools/pad_input.py and docs/user/USAGE.md, so the emulator libraries were those of main b5d763770a.
