Porpoise 4.5

A new look, PlayStation Move motion controls, up to four players in Wii games, Triforce arcade games, and VRR.

The new look

• A new Porpoise look built around your collection: real disc cases you move through with the stick, in Light, Dark or OLED
• The side menu: press Triangle, or swipe in from the right edge of the touch pad, to reach Settings and everything else from anywhere
• The island, top right: your controllers, their batteries, the camera and the time. Swipe down on the touch pad to open it
• New menu music, "Soundscape" by LOiME, and a new boot animation
• The classic look is still here as Porpoise Legacy, along with Revolution and Star Cube

PlayStation Move

• Play Wii games with a PlayStation Move as the Wii Remote: aiming, swings and rumble on the Move
• Both Move models work, the original and the newer one
• A PS3 Eye camera keeps your aim from drifting. Pick the ball color it tracks in the Controller Hub
• Point at Porpoise's menus with the Move: hold Start for a second

Controller Hub

• The Wii controller setup, rebuilt: pick what you're holding, then what it plays as. Also in the in-game menu
• Up to four players: each player gets a page (tap L1 / R1). Pick what they hold (DualSense, PlayStation Move, Move + Navigation, Move + DualSense) and what their DualSense plays as. Saved for every Wii game
• The Navigation controller as the Nunchuk, and Moves for players 2 to 4, through Move Management by REXCRAFT88
• The pointer follows a tilted controller all the way round

Triforce arcade games (beta)

• Your own Triforce dumps show in the library with your GameCube games, marked Triforce
• Touch pad inserts a coin, L1 opens the test menu, L3 + R3 is the service button
• Put your own segaboot.gcm in /data/porpoise/bios/ for the test menu. Some games need it to get past their startup checks; if a game still won't start, use a patched copy of it

Display

• Refresh Rate in Settings → Video: Fixed 120 Hz, or VRR (beta), where each frame shows the moment it's ready, up to 120 Hz
• Frame Generation works with VRR on, 60 to 120 included
• Display in Settings → Video shows what your TV is running at
• The menus run at 120 Hz on a 120 Hz screen
• Frame Generation now says when your setup keeps it from running

Faster and steadier

• Several games run faster or steadier, and Auto Boost's tested picks now apply by themselves
• Less stutter in games that stream from virtual memory
• Snappier menus and controller setup
• Every menu translated, the new ones included
• A Performance Profiler (Settings → About) for detailed logs of a slow game

Thanks to REXCRAFT88 for Move Management and his Move work, which makes multiplayer Move and the Navigation controller possible.

Install or update

Use ShadowMountPlus 1.7 beta 4 or newer. With older versions, Porpoise can close the moment it opens on some setups (firmware 12.x with the Lapy JB Daemon or LegacyJB).

From 2.0 or later: Settings → About → Updates.

By hand: download Porpoise-4.5.zip, delete /data/homebrew/PPSA99764/ on the PS5, and copy the PPSA99764 folder into /data/homebrew/. With FTP, use binary transfers (FileZilla: Transfer → Transfer type → Binary), or some text files won't copy. Your games, saves and settings in /data/porpoise/ are kept.

Porpoise contains no games, BIOS or firmware. Play only games you own. Not affiliated with Nintendo, Sony or RetroAchievements. Licenses are in licenses/README.txt inside the zip.
