The first release: Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future running natively on a jailbroken PS5.

Bring your own disc. The download has no disc image and nothing from the disc. Add a backup of
your own European Dreamcast disc (MK-5103350, V1.003) as .chd, .gdi or .cue; the title
checks it and refuses other releases.

Install

  • Recomp Store: install it from the store, then choose your disc image under Your game files.
  • By hand: unzip PS5_EccoDefender-1.0.0.zip, copy your disc image into
    PPSA99350/game/disc/ (any name), copy the PPSA99350 folder to /data/homebrew/ and let
    ShadowMountPlus pick it up.

What it does

  • 5x the Dreamcast's resolution (2400 lines), shown at 4K
  • 16:9 widescreen (Hor+), with the HUD kept at the screen's edges
  • Softened loud sounds
  • Saves on a virtual memory card in the title's folder (userdata/), kept across updates

Settings are fixed in this build; there is no settings menu.

Tested on firmware 11.60 with kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
