Some titles stop on a prompt to shake the controller, which keyboard players
and controllers without motion sensors cannot answer. While the Shake input is
held (X by default), the composed pad state reports motion with the
acceleration and angular velocity flipping sign every 50 ms; a controller's own
sensor data is used otherwise.

APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE commands can set bit 0x200000 or 0x400000 to put a
finger on the left or right half of the touchpad, as the TouchLeft and
TouchRight keys do, so scripted runs can press touchpad combinations.
tools/pad_input.py queues them as touch-left and touch-right.
AI-assisted: yes
The default bindings map the left and right mouse buttons to Square and
R2, and mouse mode maps motion to the right stick. A title that opens the
mouse with sceMouseOpen therefore gets every click twice: as a mouse
button and as a pad press. PPSA15388 treats the pad press as a switch to
gamepad input, re-centres its cursor and drops the click, so menu items
cannot be clicked.
While libSceMouse has a handle open, KeyboardMouse ignores mouse motion
and mouse-button presses. Releases still pass, so a button held before
the title opened the mouse is let go. Keys and the wheel are unchanged,
as with the IME guard next to it.

main's StorageTextureBudget calls largestDeviceLocalHeap, the helper this branch made public as LargestDeviceLocalHeap for the overlay's VRAM line. The merge renames that call, so the merged tree builds.
Crimson Desert (PPSA25286) calls scePadSetVibrationMode(handle, 5)
at start-up, and main rejects any mode above 3 with
SCE_PAD_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80920001). The title then carries on
with the call failed.
The modes are not documented. SharpProspero names 1 (advanced) and 2
(compatible); mode 3 was accepted for PPSA21480. The call now also
accepts 5, which a shipped title passes, and keeps rejecting the values
no title has been seen to use (4, 6 and above). The mode is stored as
before and has no other effect.

PPSA03671 fails to load because no library exports NID zBsgF0q8DIM from
libScePad. The NID database has no name for it and no candidate pad name
hashes to it, so it is exported under its NID as
scePadUnknown_zBsgF0q8DIM, declared without parameters, and throws when
called. Adds an Unknown function info entry to the libScePad debt file.

Measured on a PS5 (firmware 13.60): before scePadInit the call returns
NOT_INITIALIZED (0x80920005); after it, a mode of 0 or below returns
INVALID_ARG before the handle is checked, and a bad handle with a
higher mode returns INVALID_HANDLE.

PPSA02530 (PRAGMATA) fails to load without these imports that no library exports. Their signatures are unknown, so they are declared without parameters and throw until they are implemented. Adds a TechnicalDebt entry.

PPSA07411 (Resident Evil 4) fails to load without these imports. Their signatures are unknown, so they are declared without parameters and throw until they are implemented. Adds a TechnicalDebt entry.

anyps5-input.ini accepts LeftStickDeadzone and RightStickDeadzone (whole
percent, 0 to 90), a radial deadzone on the controller sticks whose
remaining travel is rescaled to the full range, and MouseSensitivity
(above 0, at most 10), which replaces the fixed factor of 1 for mouse
look. The defaults keep the current mapping exactly.
scePadOpen returned the standard pad's handle for a special port
(type 2) as well, and scePadGetHandle found it there. Both ports then
read the one input queue, so a press queued between two frames could be
drained by the special port's read and never reach the standard port.
PPSA16827 (Harmony's Odyssey) opens both ports for the initial user and
reads both every frame, also polling controller information and device
class data for the special one.
Special ports now return DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED (0x80920007) from
scePadOpen, as scePadOpenExt already does because the host has no
special controller, and scePadGetHandle has no handle for them.
TechnicalDebt's scePadOpenExt entry now covers both calls.
guest_pad opens a special port before and after the standard one and
expects DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, and DEVICE_NO_HANDLE from scePadGetHandle
for the special port while the standard handle stays valid. It fails on
main.
PPSA16827 over 130 s of its title screen: 6812 scePadRead, 3408
scePadGetControllerInformation and 3406 scePadDeviceClassParseData calls
before, two reads of the same queue per frame; 2702 reads, one
information call and no parse calls after.
Broken Sword Reforged (PPSA21480) calls scePadSetVibrationMode(handle, 3) after
scePadOpen and treats a failure as fatal (ps5_controls.cpp:19 "Sony call failed
with code 80920001"). Modes up to 3 are accepted, 4 and above stay invalid.

An SDL controller sets the L2/R2 bit whenever its trigger axis is above
zero, and BuildData then reported 255 for any set bit, so a partly
pressed trigger read as fully pressed. Report the analog value whenever
there is one; 255 remains for an injected press and for a bit without
an analog value.

Propagation: Paradise Hotel (PPSA15878) does not load on main: its
executable imports 15 PS VR2 functions that no library exports, the
first reported being sceVrTracker2GetPlayAreaOrientedBoundingBox
(snYs7Nf-RKk). Declare the nine libSceHmd2 reprojection and gaze
exports, three libSceVrTracker2 exports and three scePadVrController
trigger effect exports, without parameters, as throwing stubs. Names
come from the aerolib NID list.
