From mihawk-99/PS5_RetroArch#34 (Martin Pham). A forwarder, a small app
with a home screen tile of its own, starts the title with --rom <file>
[--core <core>] [--exit-after-game] (each also as --x=<value>). On a
launch that names no mode, src/frontend_mode_ps5.cpp takes it as game
mode takes a frontend's request: the content (absolute, or inside
/app0/content/ and never above it) and the core are checked by
ps5_game_check, RetroArch starts with -L, and afterwards the title
opens as from the home screen, or closes with --exit-after-game.
Without --core the playlists choose, else the one core whose info file
lists the extension (Genesis Plus GX for the Mega Drive extensions both
Sega cores list) or, for a folder, the one core that opens folders. A
refusal goes to trace.txt and the launch goes on as from the home
screen; a handover's --ps5-mode wins over --rom.
Changed from the pull request: its README examples and test fixtures no
longer name games and use the ES-DE folder names content/ has now; one
header comment is moved to its declaration. Its line-ending rewrites of
the PowerShell scripts are dropped (they are gone, 8f14452), and its
GitHub workflow is parked in parked/github-build-workflow, with what
would finish it at the top of build.yml: it cannot run here, and it
does not fetch PS5_MihawkGen, which the frontend compiles now.
To prove it on a console, whose control payload launches without
arguments: the relaunch test takes its restarts' arguments from the
lines after the arm line, and tools/run-title.sh --relaunch-arg writes
them.
Evidence: tests/frontend_mode_ps5_test.cpp (parsing, paths, cores by
playlist, extension and folder, refusals, after the game);
tests/relaunch_ps5_test.cpp (arguments carried; a control character or
a ninth argument arms nothing). Gates: format, unit (204), build
(staged cores reused), integration, evidence PASS. Console: with this
series' deploy.
