ps5rs v0.4.0

ps5rs v0.4.0

Host-side emulation and middleware detection release.

Added

• Host-side emulator hardening: deterministic per-module rand, captured guest stdout (ExecutionReport::output_lines), and the self-authored libdbg_basic fixture exercising libSceDbg logging with a 16-call import trace
• Fixture tooling: multi-import dynamic fixture builder (plan() + build_multi()), stdout + wildcard expectations in the emulator regression suite, and exact-encoding unit coverage for the x86-64 code generator
• Third-party middleware detection (ps5-analysis::middleware): walks game folders and classifies every PRX/SPRX/SO module as ThirdParty / Sony / Unknown via a 30-entry fingerprint catalog — FMOD, Wwise, Gameface, ICU, RENOIR, iZotope/McDSP/Auro-3D/Ozone, Unity (IL2CPP, Burst, PS5 platform, PSN, Save Data, Common Dialog, Audio Spatializer), Google Resonance Audio, CRIWARE, WebKit (Kitt), Epic Online Services
• ps5rs middleware <games_dir> command: per-game terminal or JSON middleware report (title ID, engine, vendor/product attribution per module)
• Dashboard Middleware tab: summary cards, Top Middleware Products ranking, per-game module table with third-party/Sony/unknown badges (dashboard --games <games_dir>)
• String-based detection: detect_third_party gains FMOD, Wwise, Coherent Gameface, and ICU patterns

Changed

• Module-scan accuracy: middleware walk skips sce_sys/ and decrypted/ dump-artifact folders, dedupes identical copies per game by SHA-256, keeps distinct-content same-name versions

Fixed

• Register zeroing encoding: generated guard code leaked stale register garbage into recorded import args (xor r8d, eax/xor r9d, eax); now emits 45 31 C0/45 31 C9
• RIP-relative displacement math: displacements now anchor to instruction start instead of end

ps5rs v0.3.0

A PS5 binary analysis, virtual loading, and host-side emulation framework written in Rust.

Parses SELF/ELF/PRX formats, resolves NID imports, extracts clean ELFs, fingerprints game binaries through string analysis (engine/middleware/SDK detection), and generates interactive dashboards.

Also provides a virtual PS5 loader: maps ELF memory, applies relocations (RELATIVE, ABS64, GLOB_DAT, JUMP_SLOT), resolves imports against runtime PRX exports and offline system-module databases, and stubs unknown symbols for multi-module dependency analysis.

A host-side emulator (ps5-emu) executes guest binaries on the host CPU and routes system-library imports through pure-Rust HLE modules.

v0.2.0

Added

ps5rs v0.1.0

First stable release of ps5rs — a PS5 binary intelligence and fingerprinting framework.

Features

• PS5 eboot.bin + PRX/SPRX module scanning with NID resolution
• SELF/ELF parsing with metadata extraction
• String-based engine detection (Unreal 4/5, Unity, Godot, custom forks)
• Weighted evidence-based fingerprinting with confidence scoring
• Interactive HTML dashboard with games, engines, libraries, NIDs, statistics tabs
• Community NID catalog sync with Supabase
• Unknown NID export and submission with GitHub username verification
• Offline-first: all analysis runs locally, Supabase is optional

Commands

• ps5rs scan — scan game directories and build analysis dataset
• ps5rs analyze — run reports (stats, imports, engines, heatmap, graph, etc.)
• ps5rs extract — extract clean ELFs from SELF containers
• ps5rs dashboard — generate interactive HTML dashboard
• ps5rs catalog sync — download community NID catalog
• ps5rs catalog push-unknown — submit unknown NIDs for review
• ps5rs strings — byte-level string extraction with detection
• ps5rs inspect / ps5rs imports — binary inspection
• ps5rs validate — dataset validation
• ps5rs export-unknown — export unresolved NIDs as CSV

NID Catalog

• 154,451 built-in NID mappings embedded at compile time
• Merge semantics: load multiple community catalogs
• Supabase-backed contribution system with review queue

Test Suite

• 337 tests across 8 crates
