libScePad technical debt

Unknown function info

• scePadSetAngularVelocityDeadbandState (libScePad) - with the deadband on, each angular velocity axis whose magnitude is below 0.017453292 rad/s (1 degree per second) reads as 0, before the orientation is integrated; it starts off. Threshold, per-axis test and default follow duaLib, which reimplements the PC libScePad.dll; the console's threshold is not measured, and the deadband is kept per library rather than per handle since one pad handle exists
• scePadOpen and scePadOpenExt (libScePad) - special ports (type 2) return DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED (0x80920007) because the host has no special controller, and scePadGetHandle has no handle for them; whether the console opens a handle and reports the device as disconnected later is unknown. scePadOpenExt handles only special ports. PPSA01317 passes a 16-byte param that names the device by vendor and product id (b7 0e 04 0e ... for 0x0eb7:0x0e04) and skips the user on any negative result. Other port types throw
• scePadVrControllerReadState (libScePad, NID iA-DdobUen8) - the name hashes to the imported NID; the (int handle, void* state) signature follows PS5VR (PPSA99177), which passes a PS VR2 Sense controller handle from scePadOpen type 3 or 4 and a 0x68-byte state it reads as buttons at 0, stick bytes at 4 and a connected byte at 0x40. The title calls it only after sceHmd2Initialize succeeds, which it does not here, so every call throws; the state layout is otherwise unknown
• scePadSetVibrationMode (libScePad) - modes 0 to 3 are accepted and stored; the meaning of mode 3 is unknown (PPSA21480 calls it with 3 right after scePadOpen and aborts on failure; SharpProspero names only 1 and 2). The stored mode has no other effect
• scePadIsRemoteController (libScePad) - the name hashes to NID fCWdlnmB1Ks; the signature (int handle, bool* remote) comes from PPSA16064, which zeroes a byte, passes its address after scePadGetControllerInformation and ignores the result. The error codes follow the other pad calls. Controllers are local devices, so the answer is always false
• scePadSetAngularVelocityBiasCorrectionState (libScePad) - inferred signature (int handle, bool enabled) follows scePadSetTiltCorrectionState and scePadSetAngularVelocityDeadbandState; an invalid handle returns PAD_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, disabling is a no-op, and enabling throws because bias correction is not modelled
• scePadUnknown_zBsgF0q8DIM (libScePad, NID zBsgF0q8DIM) - PPSA03671 imports it and fails to load without it. The aerolib list has no name for the NID, and none of the pad names in SharpProspero, shadPS4 or OpenOrbis, nor the trigger effect, motion sensor, VR controller, HD and haptic names tried, hashes to it. It is declared without parameters and throws. The title's executable has an import stub for it but no call, jump or address reference to that stub, so the argument count and whether the result is used are unknown
