AlxcBTWandClaude Opus 5.5 c2a48416b1 fix(shader): follow exec phis and long kill chains when proving masked lanes unread
Taxi Chaos 2 (PPSA30279) pixel shader 0x18c07bf000 is refused when it is
registered, and the title stops:

  packed pixel ancillary input has an unsupported live use (used by SelectU32 ? ?)

The shader reads the ancillary VGPR (v2) once, with v_bfe_u32 v3, v2, 16, 11,
which #1904 lowers to Layer. The next write to v2, v_rcp_f32 v2, s33, runs
before any kill under the initial exec and becomes
SelectU32(IEqual32(HelperInvocation, 0), rcp, ancillary). The raw word
therefore survives only in helper lanes. The shader has no s_wqm, no DPP,
readlane or swizzle, no stores, and only *_lz samples and gathers. Every
helper-lane value that comes from v2 is dropped by a later exec select, a
compare that is ANDed with exec before its ballot, or an export whose exec
excludes helper lanes.

MaskedSelectEliminator exists to remove selects like this one, but it could
not prove the case. The kill paths save and restore exec, so the later execs
are phis at block merges, and the AND chains the kills build go deeper than
its eight-level limit.

When it checks whether a later exec implies the write's exec, it now:
- accepts a phi when the phi and each incoming value lie outside loops and
  every incoming value implies that exec;
- pairs low and high exec words merged by phis in one block, predecessor by
  predecessor;
- memoises results for each select and follows up to 64 levels. A cycle
  counts as not implied.

Once the select is gone, nothing reads the ancillary word, so no bit of it
is produced. A select whose false lanes can still be observed is kept and
the shader is still refused. That covers a data test that leaves the word in
non-helper lanes that later export, an export under the full wave, and an
unmasked ballot.

About

Tool for automatic executables porting to Linux and Windows.

Includes a relinker that converts executable to the target system's native format and implementations of system prx libraries suitable for dynamic linking. No emulation or separate runtime process.

* System libraries: percentage of the functions known to the project so far (declared in core/libs/prx), not of every PS5 system function. The total grows as more functions are declared.

List of verified games

Dreaming Sarah (2D platformer) runs at a stable 60 fps on a GTX 1050 Ti / i5-7500 3.4GHz.

Unsupported or unexpected states strictly throw std::runtime_error. what() is printed to stderr and the process terminates.

The shader recompiler successfully produces SPIR-V (validated via Spirv-Tools when built with ANYPS5_ENABLE_SPIRV_TOOLS).

Compatibility

See the game compatibility list for tested games and known issues.

Input mapping

SDL-mapped game controllers are supported, including analog sticks and triggers. Keyboard and mouse controls can be configured with an anyps5-input.ini file. See input mapping for the supported devices and configuration format.
