When ANYPS5_PAD_IDENTIFY is connect or always, a controller that is
bound to a player slot gets a short pulse pattern once the title has
been quiet for 500 ms: one pulse for player 1, two for player 2 and so
on up to four. The scheduler runs in the existing output pass, so a
title's own rumble, its refreshes and its stop always take precedence,
and the pulse is scaled by ANYPS5_RUMBLE. A controller without rumble
support logs one line and gets no pulse. The keyboard and mouse never
get a pulse, since they are not bound to a slot. The mode is read when
the pad input starts, so an invalid value stops the title there. With
the default off, the output pass sends exactly what it sent before.
libSceVideoOut reads and changes the shared host volume state, and linking libSceAudioOut for it puts a second shared library with its own static SDL2 into libSceVideoOut. Both libraries already link libScePad, so the headers that describe that state move there first; the include paths and guards follow.
Only focus lost and gained events of the display window count. Minimizing, restoring, closing and the events of other windows change nothing, and the shared volume only acts on them when the focus option is on.
ApplyHostVolumeRequests runs the requested commands in the order up, down, mute and reports whether there was one, leaving the final state for the caller to print.
With ANYPS5_PAD_PORT0_STATE=controller, port 0 follows the controller bound to
slot 0: the presence rule commits a change after the hold, and the commit
sets libScePad's port 0 state and user 0's login state. Keyboard and mouse
do not count as a pad there, so while port 0 is withdrawn their input is not
composed into it and titles see the withdrawn port.
Opening or closing a controller no longer sets port 0 directly; slots 1 to 3
keep their immediate updates. The default mode never commits a change, so
port 0 stays connected and user 0 logged in as before.
The rule behind the opt-in port 0 mode: ANYPS5_PAD_PORT0_STATE is default
(unset: port 0 stays connected as before) or controller (port 0 follows a
controller being bound to slot 0). A change of state is committed only after
the controller has stayed absent or present for 500 ms, so a cable that drops
and returns does not flap the title. An invalid value throws, naming the
variable, when the mode is read. The clock is an argument, so the rule has
no host dependency.
APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE input was merged only into guest pad reads. While a
modal dialog or the IME held the pad, the title saw the intercepted
state and the dialog saw only host SDL input, and without a controller
video out did not publish slot 0 at all. A message dialog opened by the
title (Void Terrarium++ "System data not found" on a fresh profile)
could then never be answered in a scripted run.
Merge the injected input into the host state handed to the capturing
dialog, publish slot 0 every frame while the pad is captured, and once
more when the capture ends so the title stops reading the intercepted
state.

PadInput hands its provider to the display's poll on every update
instead of building and comparing a snapshot itself, so with
ANYPS5_PAD_STATUS unset or 0 and no request an update no longer copies
controller names or reads SDL_JoystickCurrentPowerLevel. A press of the
ShowPadStatus key polls at once, so the panel lists the controllers
from its first frame.
PadInput remembers each slot's SDL controller type and name when it
opens the controller, and on every update reads the slot's connection
and SDL_JoystickCurrentPowerLevel through a PadStatusProvider. Only a
changed snapshot is handed to the pad status display, so an idle loop
takes no lock; hot-plug events reach it on the next update. A press of
the ShowPadStatus key in the game window asks the display to show the
panel. PadInput is no longer copyable, as its provider refers to it.
PadKindFromSdl and PadPowerFromSdl turn SDL's game controller type and
joystick power level (SDL_JoystickCurrentPowerLevel: unknown, empty,
low, medium, full, wired) into the pad status types. SDL_JOYSTICK_POWER_MAX
is the enumeration's bound, not a level, and reads as unknown, like any
value outside the enumeration. They are plain functions of the enums,
so tests need neither an SDL subsystem nor a device.
Emscripten targets wasm64 without x86 assembly, Linux-only headers or the
x87 long double. These changes add __EMSCRIPTEN__ paths beside the host
ones; native builds compile the same code as before.
- libc: long doubles in guest varargs and scanf go through
GuestLongDouble, a plain copy where long double is the x87 format;
APS5_EXPORT emits no assembler alias; the guest arena is one aligned
allocation that zeroes pages when they are committed again; getifaddrs
keeps its link-level entries on Linux; /proc lookups and the host
stderr duplicate are left out.
- libkernel: file-backed mmap, EVFILT_VNODE watches, getcontext and
setcontext throw; getdents replaces the raw getdents64 syscall;
getdtablesize takes the resource limit alone.
- VideoOut leaves SDL, the display window and the HDR probe out,
Sysmodule asks libkernel for unwind information and Net includes
sys/time.h.
PC5 (PPSA11018) imports the NID and the library did not export it, so the converted executable stopped at load with error 127. The call validates the handle and index like the other cursor calls and returns 0: no cursor image is drawn, so the magnification has no observable effect. The unmeasured behaviour is recorded under Silent stubs.
When the first button event arrives while a modal dialog captures input, MouseInput
publishes a button reset instead of it and drops every press and release until
the dialog is gone, so a button the title saw pressed before the dialog opened
does not stay pressed when its release is dropped.
When the first key event arrives while a modal dialog captures input, KeyboardInput
publishes a key reset instead of it and then drops every key press and release
until the dialog is gone, so a key the title saw pressed before the dialog opened
does not stay pressed when its release is dropped.
DialogInput turns window events into modal dialog inputs: Left, Up, Right, Down,
Tab and Shift+Tab and the mouse wheel move the focus, Enter, the keypad Enter and
Space and a left click confirm, Escape and a right click cancel. Repeats of the
confirming and cancelling keys, other windows' events and other keys are
ignored. The presentation thread feeds it with the events it already polls for
the IME text input.
PS5_Vulkan measured on a base PS5 set to 1080p output that
sceVideoOutIsOutputSupported(15) answers 0, neither 1 nor an error, and
that sceVideoOutConfigureOutput(15) then returns 0x80290019, in a title
declaring high-frame-rate output. A host display below 120 Hz answered
0x80290016 to both instead. Titles that branch on the answer being 1
are unchanged; the undeclared-title answer stays 0x80290016.

AppKit, which SDL uses for windows, Metal surfaces, event pumping and game
controllers, works only on the main thread, and a guest never hands its
thread back. The macOS relinker emits a call to Aps5StartGuest as the
entry of a relinked executable; no library provided it.
- Aps5StartGuest runs the guest entry on a new thread with the stack size
of the main thread (at least 8 MiB) and serves the main dispatch queue
from the run loop of the main thread. The guest ends the process with
exit; a guest entry that returns aborts.
- Aps5RunOnMainThread runs a function on the main thread and waits for it,
or in place where the main thread is the caller or Aps5StartGuest was
never called.
- libSceVideoOut sends its SDL calls through OnMainThread, which carries
the exceptions back to the caller: the initialisation and shutdown of the
video and game controller subsystems, the window, its Vulkan surface and
drawable size, the event polling and the pad, mouse and keyboard input,
which are created and destroyed there. On the other platforms the
functions run in place.
- The flip test starts its tests through Aps5StartGuest on macOS, as a
relinked guest does.

sceVideoOutGetOutputStatus derived resolution from the size of the
registered buffers, so a title that reads it right after sceVideoOutOpen
got 1 (1080p) whatever the display. In a payload process on a PS5
(firmware 12.70), with no buffer registered, the field changed with the
console's resolution setting: 2 with it on Automatic on a 4K display, 1
with it set to 1080p. Read it from the display mode SDL reports for the
window's display, next to the refresh rate, and keep it independent of
the registered buffers.
APS5_VIDEOOUT_TELEMETRY_DIR=<directory> appends one JSON object per line to <directory>/videoout.jsonl: a contract line for the run (commit and pid), a pad line whenever the published pad state changes in its buttons, sticks, L2 or R2, a present line after the first present and every 30 after that with the count and rate the window title shows, and a drops line with the number of lines the writer discarded, reported every ten seconds while it grows and once at a normal exit. A bounded queue of 4096 lines and one writer thread batch the file, so neither the present nor the input path waits for it; a pad change that the full queue refused stays pending for a later publish, and the frame count moves from UpdateTitle's function-static to DisplayWindow so the input path can name the present it belongs to.
Without the variable no file is opened and no thread is started: a present or an input update costs one call that checks a guard variable and returns null.
sceVideoOutOpen with bus type 0x20, the PS VR2 output PPSA05666 opens as
SCE_VIDEO_OUT_BUS_TYPE_HMD2_MAIN after sceHmd2ReprojectionEnableVrMode, threw
VIDEO_OUT_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE and aborted the title. The console returns that
code to a process that is not a game, with the headset connected and worn or
not, for users 255 and 0 and for a null or zeroed open parameter, so the bus
is answered that way before the other argument checks and the title carries
on with the error as its handle, as it does on the console without a headset.
The debt entry records the sequence the title follows on that handle
(RegisterBuffers2 with category 16 and 4000x2040 descriptors that point at
Hmd2 per-eye textures, ConfigureOutput and IsOutputSupported with 0x2000F, a
GPU wait on buffer 0), which a VR backend will have to model, and the test
covers the bus and the HMD output modes 0x20001 and 0x2000C to 0x20010, which
the console and this implementation answer with VIDEO_OUT_ERROR_UNKNOWN_OUTPUT_MODE
on the TV bus.
