Hades (0100535012974000)
Update 1.0.38233 (v589824), SDK 9.3.0. Supergiant Games' engine on The Forge renderer, on Vulkan, not NVN: main imports 100 vk* functions from subsdk0 (the Vulkan loader), which sits on NVIDIA's driver in subsdk1 (NVN, OpenGL, Vulkan). The host implements those functions on Metal itself (dm/gfx/vk/hle_vk.m), so only main and sdk are loaded. Plays on the iPhone.

Vulkan layer
The layer was written for this game (Super Mario Galaxy extended it later: 010099C022B96000).
- Current: one Tegra X1-like device (Vulkan 1.1). Device memory is a shared
MTLBuffermade on first use; images are their own textures. - Current: command buffers are recorded and replayed into one Metal command buffer per submit on the layer's own queue. Swapchain images are shown through the NVN layer's present path once their frame's GPU work is done.
- Current: names the game asks for through
vkGet*ProcAddrare logged once each. - How the host tells the API apart: a
mainthat imports Vulkan functions and notnvnBootstrapLoaderrenders with Vulkan.profile_guess.pyleavesvkGetInstanceProcAddr(SDL's Vulkan loader in other games) out of its Vulkan count; Hades and both Galaxies import 99 or 100 Vulkan functions,vkCreateInstanceamong them.
Files and shaders
- 74 SPIR-V files in
Content/EffectsForgeSwitch(.vert/.frag; the.shaderfiles list each program's pair).romfs_markerisContent/EffectsForgeSwitch/Default.vert. dm/gfx/tools/vk_shaders.py <RomFS> <shader dir> [--ios <dir>]translates them with SPIRV-Cross into<dir>/vk/: one library, and a table of the Metal slot each (set, binding) moved to. The game hands the same words tovkCreateShaderModule, so the host finds each shader by the hash of its SPIR-V.- Packing: for a Vulkan game the NSP script runs
vk_shaders.py(Mac and iOS libraries in<id>_build/shader/vkandshader/ios/vk) in place of the NVN shader split and chain build, andbuild_ipa.shships$MSL_IOS/vkinstead of the NVN chain libraries (GFXAPI). The NVN shader tables stay empty.
Services
- Resolved: the notification event. The game polls
oe::GetNotificationMessageEventevery frame. The SDK's own event was never created (the host'soe::Initializeis a no-op), so the host now hands out an event of its own, signalled while a notification is queued. - Current: offline.
mainimportsEOS_*functions (Epic Online Services, from/nro/EOSSDK-Switch-Shipping.nro, loaded throughnn::ro); they stay offline.mainimports only EOS Auth, Connect and PlayerDataStorage (Epic-account cross-save, which the host cannot serve). Since the host loads NROs, it refuses online SDKs: an NRR that registers only such modules failsRegisterModuleInfo, and Hades never asks for the module (checked on 1.0.38233:refused an NRR that registers only online SDKs (1 hashes), noLoadModule, its frames as before).
Rewriter
- Under the spin-wait search with the lock, test and store rules, Hades' modules rewrite byte for byte as before (development.md, Power).

Found on this game
General host changes first needed here; each applies to every game:
- The Vulkan layer on Metal (
dm/gfx/vk/hle_vk.m) and the SPIR-V translation (vk_shaders.py), described above; dm/games/README.md, What the game files decide at every build. - A host notification event for
oe::GetNotificationMessageEvent(hle_oe.c), described above.
Open
- The memory partition is Link's Awakening's, not measured for this game (
game.tsv). - Online SDKs in NROs: always load them, refuse them (as now) or decide per profile is an open question for the maintainer (Online SDKs in NROs are never loaded).
