Project technical debt

Build

• Building on Windows requires a specific version of mingw - MinGW-w64 GCC 15.2.0 (winlibs-gcc15, x86_64-ucrt-posix-seh)
• Even compiled prx libraries on Windows require nearby (static linking of these dependencies causes conflicts):
  • libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
  • libstdc++-6.dll
  • libwinpthread-1.dll

Silent stubs

Throughout the project, every function at every stage either does exactly what it's supposed to or throws an exception. Everywhere... except:

• libSceSaveDataDialog.native
• libSceCommonDialog
• The shader recompiler skips baryctric coordinates (is not even passed to SpirvTargetOptions at row 219).

Unknown function names

• zARR5aCmkoY (libSceAgc) - unknown signature
• qj7QZpgr9Uw (libSceAgc)
• fd5Bp5tGTgo (libSceAgc)
• dolOmWH+huQ (libSceAgc)
• V++UgBtQhn0 (libSceAgc)
• gQkqkLttcpw (libSceAgc) - unknown signature

Functional

• There's no way to specify keyboard and mouse input mapping when using a gamepad. The default mapping is always used.
• Shader recompilation currently occurs right before it was transferred to Vulkan with caching, but should be moved to the relinker stage. For this purpose, shader/recompiler was written completely independently from libs/prx.
• The executable file that relinker generates opens the console when launched, which is inconvenient for playability.
• Relinker doesn't add an icon to the generated executable. This should be done without adding dependencies (only standard).
