PS5 titles pass a 0x230-byte SceAvPlayerInitDataEx: auto start is the
byte after debug_level at 0x74, nine 0x30-byte thread parameter blocks
fill 0x78-0x228 and the output video frame buffer count is at 0x228.
sceAvPlayerInitEx read both fields at their PS4 offsets: auto start at
0xa8 is the video decoder thread priority and the buffer count at 0xa4
lies in the audio decoder block. PPSA25063 (Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4)
sets every thread priority to 700, so its intro video started on its
own and stopped at once; it writes auto start 0 and starts playback
itself.
With this_size 0x230 or more both fields are read at the PS5 offsets;
smaller structures are read as before. The layout follows KytyPS5,
prosper, SharpProspero and sharpemu and is recorded in TechnicalDebt.
guest_avplayer builds a 0x230-byte structure with auto start 0 and
nonzero thread parameters, then with auto start 1, and checks when
playback starts and how many video buffers are allocated.

sceVideoOutAddPreVblankStartEvent threw "physical pre-vblank timing is
not implemented", so titles that pace on it stopped at startup. It now
registers the event like the vblank event does, and each emulated vblank
tick triggers the pre-vblank start events just before the vblank events,
with the pre-vblank count as data. The console's lead time is unknown.

v_fma_f16, v_fmac_f16, v_fmamk_f16, v_fmaak_f16, v_pk_fma_f16 and
v_pk_fmac_f16 rounded an f32 fused multiply-add to f16, rounding twice.
The product of two f16 values is exact in f32, so the sum is now rounded
to odd in f32 with an exact error term and then rounded to nearest even
in f16, which rounds the exact result once.
sceHttp2GetMemoryPoolStats, sceSslGetMemoryPoolStats and
sceNetGetMemoryPoolStats threw. PPSA16064 (Minecraft Dungeons II,
Unreal Engine) queries all three while its HTTP module starts, and
aborted there.
Each library now records the pool size given at sceHttp2Init,
sceSslInit or sceNetPoolCreate and reports it with a peak and current
use of 0: the offline Http2 and Ssl models and the host-socket Net
library allocate nothing from these pools. The layouts follow the PS4
SDK's *MemoryPoolStats structures. Net returns EBADF for an unknown
pool and EINVAL for a null output, like its other pool calls; Http2 and
Ssl throw for both, as their error codes are unknown. Terminating a
context or destroying a pool forgets its size.
sceHttp2SetResolveRetry, which the title calls next, accepts and
ignores its value like the other Http2 settings. The four Http2
WebSocket exports the title imports are added as unimplemented.
guest_http2, guest_ssl and guest_sce_net check the reported sizes;
guest_sce_net also checks the null-output and unknown-pool errors.
A draw with DB_RENDER_CONTROL.RESUMMARIZE_ENABLE recomputes the HTILE summary of the bound depth surface from its depth values. HTILE is not modeled, so such a draw with depth and stencil tests off and no color writes changes no modeled state. It now passes the maintenance check and draws nothing, instead of throwing. Resummarize draws with depth, stencil or color work, and copy and decompress draws, still throw.
The unified and service entitlement info list requests and polls threw.
They now return SCE_NP_ERROR_SIGNED_OUT, like the consume requests in
the same library. Their signatures are unknown, so they stay declared
without parameters.
PPSA15657 calls the unified request during start-up and continues past
the error.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PPSA01289) imports nine functions that no library
exports, so eager binding fails before it starts.
- libSceVoiceChat: sceVoiceChatRequestLeaveVoiceChatGroup and
sceVoiceChatRequestDeleteVoiceChatGroup, offline requests like the other
sceVoiceChatRequest* calls
- libSceNpSessionSignaling: sceNpSessionSignalingGetConnectionFromPeerAddress,
a throwing stub; the signature is unknown
- libSceCdlgG2P, a new library: the six sceG2PDialog* functions, throwing
stubs declared without parameters
TechnicalDebt records the assumed and unknown signatures.

The param is void*, as RommPS declares it. The test also passes a null and an empty URI and a param that must stay untouched, and compares against 0x8002002D itself. The debt entries now say the error is returned for any arguments and that the param layout and the console's argument checks are unknown.
PPSA01289 (Sackboy: A Big Adventure) calls sceAudioOut2MasteringTerm when it
replaces its world, which threw. Like Init and SetParam it has no effect, as
there is no mastering stage. The title creates its next world's audio device
before it destroys the previous one, so Init runs twice before Term runs
twice; whether the console reports an error for either is unknown, so both
return 0 and the case is recorded in TechnicalDebt.

sceSystemServiceLaunchWebBrowser fails with the kernel's EOPNOTSUPP: there is no web browser to open. RommPS PPSA76677 stops on main at this import and shows a QR code instead when the browser does not open.
A label in memory the device has no host import of was stored when its
batch was reaped, after later labels the GPU had already made visible.
A title that reused that memory saw its next command buffer overwritten
by the stale value (#1458). Wait for the recorded work and store it then.

With f32 denormals flushed, as in the 0xc0 float mode titles use, the
hardware flushes the denominator and numerator of v_div_fixup_f32 but
keeps a denormal quotient and result. The recompiler kept all three,
so a denormal divisor gave the quotient back instead of an infinity.

With IEEE=1, v_pk_min_f16 and v_pk_max_f16 return a quieted NaN for a
signaling NaN operand, and DX10_CLAMP=1 clamps it to +0. The clamped
form skipped the bit-level NaN selection and saturated the driver's
min/max, which returns the other operand, so it gave that operand.

sceSystemServiceKillApp now ends the title as guest exit() does, so driver calls that wait for the exit park instead of throwing ProcessShutdown, and a second exit waits for the first. The test now fails when the kill returns, exits with a status other than 0 or bypasses the coordinator, and checks why a rejected call throws.
Report an app ID for the running title from sceSystemServiceGetAppIdOfRunningBigApp, and shut the guest down and exit when sceSystemServiceKillApp receives that ID with the arguments -1, 0 and 0. SwanStationPS5 (PPSA98510) 1.0.6 closes itself this way and stops on both imports on main.
The hardware findings give 0xF_F000_0000, which is 0xFF0000000, not 0xFF00000000. Check the ring across threads, at ps5-opengl's size of 0x1b000 and with a canary after the outputs, and say in the debt entry that nothing is written to the ring.
Record the tessellation factor ring that sceAgcDriverSetTFRing receives and report it from sceAgcDriverGetTFRing, with the console's default of 0xFF00000000 and 128 KiB before a title sets one. VITA5 (PPSA39410) and Homebrew UI Lab (PPSA99050) stop on this import once sceVideoOutGetResolutionStatus resolves.
EVO-PLAYER (PPSA99039) creates resident AVC, HEVC and VP9 decoders at
start-up, and stopped at "Videodec2: unsupported codec" on the HEVC one.
Codec types 974921 (HEVC) and 2382845 (VP9) now open FFmpeg's HEVC and
VP9 decoders. HEVC input goes through the same Annex B conversion as
H.264 and VP9 frames are passed through; output stays 8-bit NV12, and a
frame deeper than 8 bits throws. Picture info throws for HEVC and VP9,
whose layouts differ from the AVC one.

Capturing a shader evaluates every V#, T# and S# the program uses,
including those behind a branch the wave does not take. When such a
descriptor was loaded through a pointer read from memory that is null
or unmapped, the capture threw "guest memory is not readable", while
the console faults only if a wave executes that s_load. The descriptor
now reads as zero words, and the flat SRT walk records the s_load's
dwords as it does for flat reads, so their guarded ReadConst raises
the BDA fault where the wave runs the s_load. A zero V# is an absent
buffer and a zero T# binds a null descriptor, as for any zero word
read from memory, so nothing new enters a key. A zeroed descriptor
whose read no flat slot records still throws, as do branch conditions,
uniform fills, table bases and user-data pointers.
Capturing a shader threw "null or misaligned address" when the flat
SRT walk read through a pointer loaded from memory that is null or
unmapped, even when the program skips that s_load. Such a read now
yields zero and a record with its pc and address, as does a slot whose
address needs it. The registered artifact checks one flag word per
guarded slot at each ReadConst; the capture appends the flags and the
records to the flattened SRT, and a set flag raises an Unmapped BDA
fault through the fault buffer and stops the invocation as a BDA read
does. Nothing per capture enters a key: poisoned and clean captures
share one variant and specialization. Descriptors, branch conditions,
uniform fills, table bases and user-data pointers that need such a
value still throw, and poisoned results stay out of the dispatch and
draw caches. The shader disk cache format becomes 21.
Measured on RDNA2 in #697: an invalid product or sum (inf * 0, inf - inf)
gives the negative default NaN, 0xffc00000 or 0xfe00, and beats a NaN
addend. A NaN delta, then a NaN coordinate, still wins, quieted; a NaN
addend is returned quieted only when the product is valid.

Measured on RDNA2 in #697: v_interp_p1ll_f16 and v_interp_p1lv_f16 are a
fused multiply-add rounded once to f32, and v_interp_p2_f16 rounds the exact
P20 * J + S2 once to f16. The separate multiply and add matched about 85% and
4% of the measured rows.
Both steps now use FPInterpolateF32 and FPInterpolateF16: the f16 delta times
the f32 coordinate is exact in f64, the sum is rounded to odd and then once to
nearest even at the target precision, so no driver can split or reround it.
Infinite and NaN operands take the unbounded f64 result.

Decode the three VOP3 16-bit interpolation instructions (attribute, channel
and high-half select in the src0 field, the I/J VGPR in src1, P0 or the first
step's result in src2) and translate them with a new
GetInterpolationParameterF16 IR value. It reads the selected 16-bit half of
each vertex's parameter through VK_KHR_fragment_shader_barycentric, so P10 and
P20 are vertex differences rounded to f16; both steps are a multiply and an
add, as in the f32 forms.
An input in FP16_INTERP_MODE whose low half is defaulted is still declared at
its slot when its high half is read, and the high half takes its default from
USE_DEFAULT_ATTR1 and DEFAULT_VAL_ATTR1. Without barycentrics, on an input
without FP16_INTERP_MODE or on a pass-through input the instructions throw.
