A compute shader addressing an image with MIMG DIM 2D over a T# of type 2D
array was refused ("guest storage texture dimension disagrees with the
shader's declared image shape"). Such an access carries no slice
coordinate, so the hardware reads and writes slice 0 of the resource view,
which is the BASE_ARRAY layer of the surface.
The storage element is now bound through a 2D view of that layer of the
surface's shared storage image (StorageTexture::FirstLayerView, created on
demand per mip and released with the image). Every other shape/dimension
mismatch still throws, and both mismatch messages now name the shape and
the dimension.
The recorder test device sets formatProperties, which storage images need
to pick their Vulkan format.
sceAgcUnknownFuseShaderHalves (fd4700b9) fuses both kinds of halves at
the register level: the back half's registers with the front half's
program address in PGM_LO_ES (PGM_LO_LS for hull halves). For geometry
halves the driver then compiles that front half as the draw's whole
program (type 4, Stage::Mesh) and skips the back (Role::GeometryBack);
nothing links the two. The front ends in s_setpc_b64 s[6:7] and has no
s_endpgm, so the decode runs on into the s_code_end padding and the
program trailer. In PPSA21564 the geometry shader draws were skipped
with "unsupported SOPP opcode 31" (s_code_end) and "unsupported scalar
source operand code 115 at program counter 64".
Geometry halves are now fused into one Gs program: the front half's code
up to its final s_setpc_b64 s[6:7] (its length comes from the program
trailer), s_nop padding to the next 256 bytes, then the whole back half,
so the front falls through into the back. Its SH registers are the back
half's, with PGM_LO/HI_GS pointing at the copied back code, the ES
program address at the fused code, RSRC1 taking the larger VGPR and SGPR
counts of the two halves, RSRC2 taking the front half's user-SGPR count
(the SPI loads the front layout; the back reloads its own from memory
through s[0:1]), and the front's other SH registers except its checksum
appended. Context registers are merged the same way. Inputs come from
the front, outputs, specials and user data from the back; the scratch
size is the larger of the two.
Everything the fused Shader points to, including a copy of the header
itself, is written into the caller's memory after the code, and the
header is registered with the driver as a self-contained shader. Titles
pass memory without honouring the reported alignment, so the program is
placed at the first 256-byte boundary inside it, and the size query
returns the total plus 255 bytes of padding (alignment reported as log2
8). Halves with embedded constant buffers, a front half without a
trailer or final s_setpc_b64, a front half that needs RSRC2 state the
back half does not enable, and geometry halves without fused memory
throw.
Hull halves keep the register-level fusion, which the tessellation
path's separate local and hull programs fit. The half-type and stage
checks stay shared.
The driver now loads s[0:1] of a Gs program from its user-data address
registers whenever they are set, not only for GsFront programs, since
the back half of a fused program reloads its user data from there; a
program without those registers keeps zero there (from SamG-Coder's
8345fbc1).
T# word1 MIN_LOD (unsigned 4.8, in levels of the whole surface) was
rejected. Sampled views now chain VkImageViewMinLodCreateInfoEXT
(VK_EXT_image_view_min_lod, enabled when the device offers the minLod
feature). Its minLod counts levels of the whole image exactly as MIN_LOD
counts levels of the whole surface, because the image holds every mip and
the view starts at BASE_LEVEL.
- A clamp at or below BASE_LEVEL cannot change which level a sample reads
and is left off; one past the view's last level is bounded by it (the
view selects that level anyway, and Vulkan requires the bound).
- A clamp that binds on a device without the feature throws.
- The texture cache already keys by the eight descriptor words, so views
with different clamps are not shared.
- Storage views address one level: a clamp at or below that level is
accepted, one above it still throws.
feat: export the AMPR command buffer waits and writes, sceAgcFuseShaderHalves, sceAgcSetSubmitMode, sceNpSessionSignalingCreateContext and sceNetEpollAbort
A .param file of a save directory or of save data memory that exists but cannot
be read, or whose size is not sizeof(SaveDataParam), was silently ignored or
truncated. It now throws, naming the file and, for a size mismatch, both sizes.

ReadHeader reads fields up to offset 0x40 but only rejected files
shorter than 20 bytes, so a truncated ELF failed with
"FileByteOffset out of bounds" instead of "File too small for ELF header".
