Dean Galvin 835c2995ed feat(libSceUserService): report the keyboard type of the system language
sceUserServiceGetKeyboardType now returns the keyboard type of the configured
system language from the repository owner's table (languages 0 to 29), with 20
(US English) for a language outside it. The input variants stay 0, the only
value the table gives for Japanese and Traditional Chinese.

sceConvertKeycodeGetImeKeyboardType takes the PS4 client rule from the title ID
prefix (CUSA is PS4); a missing or custom ID is treated as PS5. Tests walk the
owner's table through both calls and the title ID cases; both debt entries
updated.

Unknown function info

  • sceUserServiceGetNpAccountId (libSceUserService) - the account id for a user with no linked PSN account is assumed to be 0 with success; libSceNpManager's sceNpGetAccountIdA answers the same question with SCE_NP_ERROR_SIGNED_OUT
  • sceUserServiceInitialize and sceUserServiceInitialize2 (libSceUserService) - event delivery has no background service thread, so the confirmed priority and Initialize2 CPU affinity mask do not affect host scheduling.
  • sceUserServiceGetUserColor (libSceUserService) - the default profile colour is assumed to be blue (0)
  • sceUserServiceGetUserName (libSceUserService) - 0x80960105, which a PS5 (firmware 13.60) returns for a user id it does not know, has no known name; it is USER_SERVICE_ERROR_UNKNOWN_USER here. On the console a registered user who is not logged in still gets their name; here only the initial user exists
  • sceUserServiceGetAgeLevel (libSceUserService) - on a PS5 (firmware 13.60) the value is the age set in the user's parental restriction (0, 7, 12 and 15 were measured) and 0xFFFFFFFF without one; a user who is not logged in returns 0x80960009 with or without an output. Parental restrictions are not modelled, so the initial user is always reported as unrestricted. PPSA12544 (Unity) only stores the value for its user profile
  • sceUserServiceGetAccessibilityChatTranscription, PressAndHoldDelay, TriggerEffect, Vibration, ZoomEnabled, ZoomFollowFocus (libSceUserService) - report 0, 0, 1, 1, 0 and 1, what a PS5 (firmware 13.60) reports for a user whose accessibility settings are all at their defaults; the console reports the user's own settings (a changed vibration intensity read 3), which are not modelled. What each number means is unknown. A user who is not logged in returns 0x80960009 with or without an output
  • sceUserServiceGetKeyboardType, sceUserServiceGetJapaneseInputType, sceUserServiceGetTraditionalChineseInputType (libSceUserService) - AnyPS5 stores no per-user keyboard setting, so the initial user reports the keyboard type of the configured system language (ANYPS5_LANGUAGE, English US by default) and 0 for the two input variants, and any other user id returns USER_SERVICE_ERROR_UNKNOWN_USER. The language-to-keyboard-type table is the repository owner's and covers languages 0 to 29; a language outside it, such as Ukrainian (30), reports 20 (US English). The input variant is 0 because the owner's table needs one only for Japanese and Traditional Chinese, and gives 0 for both. sceConvertKeycodeGetImeKeyboardType consumes these values.
