SharpEmu v0.0.3 Fran4

SharpEmu Fran4: Astro Bot intro is now on screen!

Fran4 marks an important milestone for this experimental SharpEmu fork: Astro Bot now displays its complete intro video instead of remaining on a black screen.

After the video finishes, the game continues toward the title controller. Playback performance is still limited and the subsequent 3D rendering path remains incomplete.

Highlights

• Complete Astro Bot intro video displayed on screen
• Progress beyond the previous black-screen state
• Updated with recent upstream improvements
• Existing Acelogic-derived fixes preserved

Known limitations

• Video playback is currently very slow
• Title/menu 3D rendering is not yet complete
• Crashes, missing graphics and incorrect behaviour are expected
• This remains an experimental development build, not a stable PS5 emulator

Thank you to the SharpEmu contributors, Acelogic and everyone in the community testing builds, sharing logs and helping the project move forward.

Fran4 puts the Astro Bot intro on screen, now the work continues toward the title and menu rendering.
