[JAB-dev]

Tested

• Title: Animal Well, PPSA22520, 01.000.011
• Host: Windows 11, Ryzen 5 5600XT, RTX 4070 SUPER. Relinked with --windows, WinLibs GCC 15.2.0 r7.
• Last update: 2026-10-10 (main 97b985f + the fix in JAB-dev/AnyPS5#12)

Status

In game, playable at 60 FPS. Music, ambience, panning and reverb seemingly match the PC release, and the jump reverb matches a PS5 recording within about 0.5 dB over its first 120 ms.

Heads up: a change merged today to sceAgcDcbResetQueue throws for the op Animal Well passes at boot (0x3FF), so it crashes on current main. My fix PR was auto-closed because PR intake is paused, so it is ready on my fork until intake reopens: JAB-dev#12. With it the game boots and runs at 60 FPS again.
