New

• LibCrypt games (most PAL discs) now work without hunting for a .sbi file. The app carries the LibCrypt SBI patches (assets/sbi_files, 200 files) and, when a game has no .sbi beside its disc, copies the one for its serial there before starting.
  • This fixes games like Resident Evil 3, European version.
  • Spyro: Year of the Dragon and CTR: Crash Team Racing have two pressings under one serial, so the right .sbi is picked from the CRC-32 of the first .bin of the disc. It is read in the background, with a progress bar.
  • If no .sbi fits, a box in the middle of the screen says so and stays until you press X.
• Allow Booting Without SBI File (Settings → Console), off by default. It lets a LibCrypt game start with no .sbi. Without it the game will likely freeze or stop working at some point.
• A toast when a game starts: Press L3 + R3 to open the game menu..., with the buttons drawn in the line.

Fixed

• FSR 1 now works with Double frames. It was skipped: the interpolator's frames were already the screen's size, so there was nothing to scale up. FSR 1 now scales each new frame of the game before the interpolation, and the shader still comes after it.
• A game refused for a missing SBI file now says why, instead of "The core could not load this game."

Changed

• SwanStation core updated to the latest libretro/swanstation (it now uses libretro's rthreads). All of SwanStationPS5's changes to the core are still in one patch.
• The game menu opens with L3 + R3 only. Holding the touchpad no longer opens it.
• "Keep holding to close SwanStationPS5..." no longer names a button. "Continuing where you left off..." now ends with an ellipsis. Both are translated in every language.

Credits

• The SBI files are from psxdatacenter. They are patches, not game data.

Install: copy the PPSA98510 folder from the zip to /data/homebrew/ on the PS5 and set its permissions to 777, or update from the app (About → Updates).
