* [Codec/Native] Real H.264 decode for sceVideodec2, fix TLS loader missing the main module
sceVideodec2 was a capability-only stub: the game's video pipeline
worked end-to-end but never produced a picture, so intro/cinematic
videos stayed black even though playback "completed" without errors
(confirmed on Ghost of Yotei's intro cinematic).
- Videodec2Decoder: owns an FFmpeg H.264 session per decoder handle,
running decode and presentation pacing on their own threads (never
the guest thread) so a whole clip isn't decoded faster than it can
be displayed. Converts to BGRA and submits straight to
VulkanVideoPresenter, bypassing guest memory the same way the
existing Bink2 path does.
- Videodec2Exports: wires the real decoder into
sceVideodec2CreateDecoder/Decode/Flush/Reset/DeleteDecoder, falling
back to the original no-picture stub whenever FFmpeg is unavailable
or a given decoder failed to open.
- VulkanVideoPresenter: decoded frames were being dropped under a
single "latest wins" slot the render loop didn't always poll in
time before the next frame overwrote it. Queues pending video
presentations the same way guest-image flips already are.
- DirectExecutionBackend: the TLS load patcher's one-shot scan missed
the main game module when the entry point resolves to a separate
bootstrap allocation, and never re-scanned lazily-committed pages
patched in afterward -- both left FS:[0] TLS loads unpatched,
causing an early mutex-spin boot stall (reproduced on Demon's
Souls: stuck at import #256). Now scans both the entry point's own
allocation and the standard PS5/PS4 image base, and re-scans each
newly committed executable range as it's touched.
* [GUI] Add a toggle for SHARPEMU_FORCE_SUBMIT_ORPHAN_PREAMBLES
This flag already existed as an AGC workaround (forces queued GPU
command-buffer preambles through when their target queue never picks
them up, unblocking titles stuck on a WAIT_REG_MEM that never
signals) but was only reachable by setting the environment variable
by hand. Expose it as a checkbox next to the other env toggles, in
both the global Options panel and the per-game settings panel, so it
can be turned on for a specific title without touching a shell.
* [GUI] Add remaining language translations for the new env toggle
The previous commit only added the new key to en.json/fr.json,
relying on Localization's runtime fallback to English -- but
LocalizationTests.EmbeddedLanguages_ContainEveryEnglishOptionsKey
requires every Options.* key to exist in every embedded language
file, which broke CI on all three build jobs. Fills in the
remaining 13 languages.
Add per-game launch overrides (log level, import-trace limit, strict dynlib
resolution, log-to-file, and SHARPEMU_* environment toggles) with three-tier
resolution (per-game override -> global preference -> built-in default), stored
one file per game at user/custom_configs/<titleId>.json. Editable from a new
"Game settings..." context-menu dialog.
Introduce a shared SettingRow control and adopt it across the Options page and
the per-game dialog so the two read as one app. Fully localized (reusing the
existing Options.* keys), with the actions pinned in the dialog footer.
* Latest commit info axamal structure
* Link latest commit to text
* Added localization for About>Last commit info
* Made the commit hash a button that redirects you to the commit in github
* Reorder about section
* Commit and update icon in about section to have consistency in section
* Boot compatibility fixes for UE titles, GUI toggles, and DeS render/boot work
Checkpoint of the Monster Truck Championship and Demon's Souls boot work.
Each piece is independently useful and verified against the titles.
- playgo: scePlayGoGetLocus now returns BAD_CHUNK_ID for chunk ids outside
the known set, matching real firmware. Titles enumerate chunk ids until
that error; answering OK for every id made the scan wrap the ushort range
and spin forever. Missing-sidecar and no-app0 fallbacks report a
fully-installed single chunk 0 so scePlayGoOpen keeps succeeding.
- kernel: restore the SHARPEMU_WRITABLE_APP0 opt-in. Unpackaged UE dumps
write their Saved tree under /app0 during PS5 component init and treat
the denial as a fatal boot error.
- pad: accept handle 0 as the primary pad across all pad calls. Real
firmware hands out small non-negative handles and some titles read state
with handle 0.
- bthid: env-gated experiment hooks for the Thrustmaster wheel middleware
investigation (fail-only-RegisterCallback modes and a synthetic
enumeration callback with a zeroed event struct). All default off.
- gui: add SHARPEMU_LOG_IO and SHARPEMU_WRITABLE_APP0 toggles to the
Environment tab.
- videoout: per-swapchain-image render-finished semaphores (the shared
semaphore raced the swapchain); whole-mip-chain layout init for offscreen
guest images (sampled binds read mips stuck in Undefined); GPU-resident
texture availability now canonicalizes through the texture format table
and accepts compatibility-class aliases, cutting per-frame CPU texture
re-reads (143 GB -> 55 GB per 300 s in Demon's Souls, 0.2 -> 0.5 fps).
- hle: add sceSystemServiceGetNoticeScreenSkipFlag,
sceSystemServiceGetMainAppTitleId (title id published from the runtime),
and sceNpWebApi2CreateUserContext (refuses so the online layer backs off).
- rtc: SHARPEMU_RTC_PROBE_RANGE diagnostic dumps the code around a busy-wait
caller of sceRtcGetCurrentTick once; costs nothing when unset.
* [ShaderCompiler] Fix VReadlaneB32 scalar destination field
The scalar destination lives in the low vdst byte (bits 0-7); it was read
from bits 8-14, the VOP3B carry-out field readlane does not have, sending
every readlane result to s0. Verified against raw gfx10 encodings and
LLVM's assembler tests (v_readlane_b32 s5, v1, s2 -> low byte 0x05).
* [VideoOut] Survive device loss and flip-order asserts without dying
Two ways a frame could take down the whole presenter:
- Device loss between any two Vulkan calls in a frame unwound the window
thread, and the Dispose-time fence check then threw again, masking the
original error. Catch the loss at the frame boundary, retire
presentations and guest submissions whose fences can never signal, and
keep the window loop pumping so the game (audio, logic) carries on.
- The ordered-flip capture invariant is violated ~100 times per run by
Demon's Souls (PPSA01342); on debug builds the Debug.Assert fail-fasts
the process with nothing in the log. Downgrade it to a once-per-version
warning until the capture/wait ordering is understood.
* Fix Dead Cells shader cache regression

Fills NID gaps hit by PS5 titles during boot, controller setup, and
rendering, and surfaces the common runtime switches in the GUI. All
exports are additive (no behavior change to existing exports) and free of
NID and export-name collisions with upstream.
New export libraries:
- libSceBluetoothHid: Init/RegisterDevice/RegisterCallback success stubs so
titles proceed past Bluetooth controller setup (opt-out via
SHARPEMU_BTHID_UNAVAILABLE=1).
- libSceNpCppWebApi: Common::initialize no-op success; UE5 online titles
abort PS5-component startup on a negative SCE error.
Additions to existing libraries:
- libScePad: scePadOpenExt (shared PadOpenCore, accepts special ports 1/2 and
the ScePadOpenExtParam pointer), scePadClose, scePadGetExtControllerInformation.
- libSceVideoOut: sceVideoOutConfigureOutput, sceVideoOutInitializeOutputOptions.
- libSceAgc: DCB builders sceAgcDcbSetIndexCount, sceAgcDcbJump, DcbSetPredication,
SetPacketPredication (emit valid skippable packets; full draw processing TODO).
- libSceAmpr: measure and write KernelEventQueueOnCompletion pair.
- libKernel: scePthreadGet/Setschedparam, sceKernelChmod (validate and accept;
POSIX permission bits have no host equivalent on Windows).
- libSceNetCtl: sceNetCtlRegisterCallbackV6 (delegates to the v4 callback).
- libSceMouse: sceMouseInit.
- libSceUserService: sceUserServiceGetAgeLevel (adult, skips parental gates).
GUI: new Options Environment tab exposing common SHARPEMU_* switches as
toggles (BTHID_UNAVAILABLE, DISABLE_IMPORT_LOOP_GUARD, VK_VALIDATION,
DUMP_SPIRV, LOG_DIRECT_MEMORY, LOG_NP). Persisted in gui-settings.json and
applied to the emulator process environment at launch; localized with
English fallback.
* Added about tab with github and discord
* Added discord & github svgs and svg support
* Changed svg to pngs and localization text in english & spanish
