* Add internal render resolution scale and fix embedded surface DPI scaling
Adds a GUI-configurable internal resolution scale (Graphics tab) that
renders offscreen color/depth targets below native guest resolution
and upscales on present, trading image quality for GPU headroom.
Storage/UAV images and sampled asset textures are left untouched, and
texture-alias/feedback-loop lookups compare against each target's
logical (unscaled) size so scaled render targets are still found
correctly when sampled back.
Also fixes the embedded game surface not filling the window: the
isolated emulator child process had no declared DPI awareness, so
Windows silently downscaled every window-geometry query it made
against the GUI-owned surface HWND by the display's DPI factor,
leaving an unfilled black margin on scaled displays.

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
Add a Split button to detach the emulator console into a resizable window.
The detached console keeps search, auto-scroll, copy, and clear controls. The main console hides while detached and restores when the split window closes if it was previously open.
Publish launcher status to Discord over its local IPC named pipe with
no external dependency: framed-JSON handshake and SET_ACTIVITY, a
background worker with reconnection and latest-state dedup, and silent
no-op behavior when Discord is not running.
- "Browsing the library" (game count, session elapsed) while idle;
"Playing <game>" with title id and elapsed time during emulation.
Activities always carry timestamps: Discord accepts but does not
render activities without them
- Presence flips back to browsing immediately on Stop instead of
waiting for process exit: a game wedged in a GPU driver call can
outlive termination for a while. Stop also terminates the job
object so the whole child tree dies even in that state
- Toggle in the Options panel (persisted); client id configurable in
gui-settings.json; SHARPEMU_LOG_DISCORD=1 traces queue/send/failure
* [GUI] Added Atrac9 audio decoder and improved GUI with audio preview and controller support
* fix: package.lock.json for SharpEmu.CLI to match the other projects
* fix: packages.lock.json file to include new dependencies for GUI improvements
* rollForward: "disable"
* GUI: redesign library as a cover-art grid with game management
Replace the sidebar game list with a full-width grid of cover tiles.
Cover art is loaded automatically from each game's sce_sys/icon0.png
(pic0.png fallback) and decoded off the UI thread; games without art
get a deterministic gradient placeholder with the title's initials.
- New layout: search/scan toolbar, tile grid with hover and selection
states, bottom launch bar with cover thumbnail, collapsible launch
options and console panels (console auto-opens on launch)
- Right-click context menu on tiles: launch, open game folder, copy
path/title ID, remove from library
- Removed games persist in an ExcludedGames settings list; re-adding
a folder restores any removed games beneath it
- Search now also matches title IDs
- Fix: placeholder brushes were constructed on the scan thread, which
throws in Avalonia and was silently swallowed, yielding empty scans
* GUI: show full install folder size instead of eboot.bin size
The library previously displayed the size of eboot.bin alone, which
wildly understates a game's real footprint. The install folder is now
totaled recursively in the existing background pass (after cover art,
which is cheaper and more visible), and each tile updates live once
its size is ready.
* GUI: selection backdrop, smaller tiles, controller navigation
Address review feedback on the library redesign:
- Selecting a game fades its key art (sce_sys/pic0.png, pic1.png
fallback) in as the window backdrop, dimmed by a gradient scrim;
decoded off the UI thread and cached per entry
- Cover tiles reduced from 156px to 128px
- The library can be driven with a DualSense: d-pad/left stick moves
the selection (hold-to-repeat, row-aware), Cross launches, Circle
stops; input is ignored while the launcher window is unfocused.
Reuses the pad HID reader by compile-linking its dependency-free
sources instead of referencing all of SharpEmu.Libs
* [gui] Add Avalonia desktop frontend
Adds SharpEmu.GUI, a dark-themed desktop frontend that drives the
SharpEmu CLI as a child process:
- Game library with folder scanning for eboot.bin, search, and
persisted settings (%APPDATA%/SharpEmu/gui-settings.json)
- Launch options mapped to CLI flags (log level, strict dynlib
resolution, import trace limit)
- Live console with severity color-coding, bounded buffer, and
crash-safe deferred auto-scroll
- EmulatorProcess launches the CLI via CreateProcessW with the same
CET/CFG mitigation opt-outs the CLI applies to its own relaunched
child (suppressed via SHARPEMU_DISABLE_MITIGATION_RELAUNCH so
output is not lost to a detached console), inheritable pipes for
stdout/stderr capture, a kill-on-close job object, and a fallback
to an unmitigated launch on Windows builds that reject the policy
bits
Also pins Tmds.DBus.Protocol 0.21.3 (transitive of Avalonia.Desktop)
to fix GHSA-xrw6-gwf8-vvr9.
* [gui] Integrate GUI into the SharpEmu executable
Per review feedback, the GUI is no longer a separate application.
SharpEmu.exe now opens the desktop frontend when started without
arguments and behaves exactly as the existing CLI when given any
argument:
- SharpEmu.GUI becomes a class library exposing GuiLauncher.Run(),
hosted by SharpEmu.CLI
- The console window is hidden in GUI mode only when the process is
its sole owner (double-click launch), never a terminal the user
launched from
- In GUI mode the frontend spawns this same executable (with
arguments) as the emulator child process, so the existing launch,
piping, and mitigation machinery is unchanged
* [gui] Address review feedback: no console, single-file, param.json, portable settings
- Switch SharpEmu.exe to the GUI subsystem so no console window appears
at startup. CLI mode attaches to the parent terminal console (or
allocates one when started with arguments but no terminal) and
rebinds missing std handles to CONOUT$; piped/redirected output is
used as-is, so scripted and GUI-spawned runs are unaffected.
- Publish as a true single file: native libraries are embedded and
self-extracted, with glfw kept as the only loose DLL next to the
executable.
- The game library reads sce_sys/param.json and shows the game title
with the title id beneath it, falling back to the folder name.
- GUI settings and the crash log now live next to the executable,
matching the emulator convention, instead of %APPDATA%.
* [build] Add win-x64 sections to package lock files
Generated by dotnet publish -r win-x64 with locked restore enabled.
* [build] Regenerate lock files from project configuration
dotnet restore --force-evaluate; removes the win-x64 runtime sections
that a local RID-specific publish had written into projects that do
not declare a runtime identifier, which broke locked-mode restore in
CI. Verified with dotnet restore -p:RestoreLockedMode=true.
