# libSceImeDialog technical debt

### Silent stubs

- [sceImeDialogInit](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp) (libSceImeDialog) shows no dialog: the text is typed on the host keyboard, which [ImeTextInput](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceVideoOut/src/ImeTextInput.cpp) forwards from the game window through libSceIme while no IME panel is open. Text, Backspace, Delete, Left, Right, Home and End edit the text, Enter accepts it (end status 0) and Escape cancels (end status 1). The controller cannot type, the title, placeholder, type and options are not shown or applied, and line breaks cannot be typed. While the dialog runs, key presses do not reach the keyboard-to-pad bindings of [PadInput](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceVideoOut/src/PadInput.cpp)

### Unknown function info

- [sceImeDialogForTestFunction](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp) (libSceImeDialog) - declared without parameters to resolve a known import, following [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/f68923fe807f657348e6719ce658bcbd0a2b1c72/src/core/libraries/ime/ime_dialog.h#L34-L51); not measured on a console and not an ABI claim.
- [sceImeDialogGetCurrentStarState, sceImeDialogInitInternal, sceImeDialogSetPanelPosition](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp) (libSceImeDialog) - not measured on a console; signatures and checks follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/a808e76/src/core/libraries/ime/ime_dialog.cpp). `sceImeDialogInitInternal` runs `sceImeDialogInit`, as shadPS4's two share one path apart from user flags this library does not keep. There is no movable panel, so `sceImeDialogSetPanelPosition` never succeeds: `DIALOG_NOT_IN_USE` without a dialog and `IME_SUSPENDING` while one is running or finished, the states in which shadPS4 refuses it too. The star state is always 0
- [sceImeDialogForceClose](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp) (libSceImeDialog) - not measured on a PS5: its `int (void)` signature and behaviour follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/f68923fe807f657348e6719ce658bcbd0a2b1c72/src/core/libraries/ime/ime_dialog.cpp#L571-L601) (PS4). It closes a running or finished dialog, as `sceImeDialogTerm` does, without writing the typed text to the title's buffer, which shadPS4 updates while typing and this library only on Enter, and returns `0x80bc0107` with no dialog open, the `NotInUse` code of [SharpProspero](https://github.com/SvenGDK/SharpProspero/blob/5dfdb4b0b166e83dc9ae275001afb695f12c7174/src/SharpProspero/Interop/Dialog/ImeDialog.cs#L224-L225), while this library's `sceImeDialogTerm` returns `0x80bc0002` in the same state. Closes when: measured on a PS5
- [sceImeDialogInit, sceImeDialogGetStatus, sceImeDialogGetResult, sceImeDialogAbort, sceImeDialogTerm](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp) (libSceImeDialog) - the statuses (none 0, running 1, finished 2), the end statuses (ok 0, user canceled 1, aborted 2) and the errors of `sceImeDialogInit` for an open dialog (`0x80bc0001`), a null parameter (`0x80bc0031`), a maximum text length outside 1 to 2048 (`0x80bc0016`) and a null text buffer (`0x80bc0017`) follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/b2d7ec7d31f9ad9426db93afe079db8679b3e1e0/src/core/libraries/ime/ime_dialog.cpp); none is measured on a PS5. A result, abort or term on a dialog that is not finished, running or open returns `0x80bc0002`, where shadPS4 returns `0x80bc0105` to `0x80bc0107`, and `sceImeDialogTerm` also closes a running dialog, which shadPS4 refuses. The text reaches the title's buffer only when Enter accepts it

- The following pending declarations have unverified signatures and behavior; they are parameterless import-resolution declarations and throw through `NotImplemented_nid_no_patch`: [`sceImeDialogInitInternalWithSubInfo`](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceImeDialog/Export.cpp).
