MP3-PS4 v02.00

Source only: there's no package to download. Build it from your own copy of the game: see Getting started.

What's new in v02.00

• Both discs: the story asks for disc 2 at the end of chapter 6, and up to v00.51 the game stopped there. The port now puts disc 2 in, as the 360 does. The one-file package (MP3_PKG_GAME=1) holds both discs and Title Update 6, about 16 GB.
• Achievements: the game's own 51 achievements (1,125 G) in the quick menu's new ACHIEVEMENTS tab, with their names, descriptions, unlock dates and a trophy for each, and a pop-up when you earn one. They're kept in /data/MP3/mp3/achievements/. They're in-game only, not PS4 trophies.
• No more black places: some areas, the rooftops among them, went dark at some camera angles. The VIDEO tab's Lighting fix (on by default) draws the game's base lighting there again.
• Menu freeze fixed: the game could stop in the main menu when it ended one of its threads.
• Detail settings in the VIDEO tab: particles, facial animation, character and car detail, view distance.
• Faster code: inlined locks (3.4 % of the main thread down to 0.1 %) and five new trims in the code generator's register pass. The hottest code is about 8 % smaller.
• PS4 Pro: with Boost Mode on, busy fights run at 22-30 fps. The ABOUT tab shows the clock the cores run at.

Known issues

• Busy fights stay under 30 fps on a base PS4: the main thread's own work on the Jaguar.
• Some crackle and distortion in the sound.
• Xbox Live prompts in the menus, and Xbox button icons in this build.
• The swap to disc 2 hasn't been confirmed on a console yet.

MP3-PS4 v00.51

Source only: there's no package to download. Build it from your own copy of the game: see Getting started.

What's in v00.51

• Renut draws the game's Direct3D calls on Vulkan (Mesa RADV): HDR and exposure, the tiled G-buffer and the game's 4x-aliased resolves all right.
• Busy fights 15-25 fps (they were 4-5 when the port began): the game's threads at their own priorities and cores, spread over seven cores; the game's audio update without the wait that held the main thread; XAudio2's mixer in SSE; the physical window's check taken once per base register.
• One-file package: MP3_PKG_GAME=1 puts your game and Title Update 6 inside the package (8.2 GB), read from the package before /data/MP3.
• Your own sce_sys/icon0.png and pic1.png go into your package.
• The live console (a TCP port for the PC's tools) and the RAGE task hooks are left out of the build; their code stays (mp3/ps4/mp3_ps4_switches.h).

Known issues

• Busy fights stay under 30 fps: the main thread's own work on the Jaguar.
• Some crackle and distortion in the sound.
• Xbox Live prompts in the menus, and Xbox button icons in this build.
• The quick menu's VIDEO tab belongs to the Xenos emulation build and does nothing in the Renut package.
