seedds 3a993fa3fe Subsystem references and a symptom index: the failure catalogue of docs/agents/03-bringup.md and the per-title material of docs/agents/04-graphics.md (section 1's container list, section 6 and its "Seen in <game>" subsections) move into docs/reference/, one heading per mechanism: rewriter.md, memory.md, threads.md, services.md, movies.md, audio.md, frame-rate.md, nvn-objects.md, rendering.md (with the Vulkan and OpenGL layers), shaders.md and game-state.md, indexed by docs/reference/README.md. Each entry gives the symptom, the cause, the fix (file and function), the games it was found on (linked to their notes in dm/games/<id>/README.md) and any check, caveat or later change; one mechanism met on several games is one entry. docs/agents/symptoms.md lists every entry's symptom (an assertion, a [RED] line, an abort or crash site, a visible result) with a link to it, 350 lines, generated from the Symptom bullets. 03 keeps the loop and reading the log, and its Failure catalogue section now points to the references, the index and where a new finding goes; 04 keeps sections 1-5 and 7 (the container list is shaders.md's Containers by engine), and section 6 says where each kind of finding is. Facts in the old sections about one game only were checked against that game's note, where they already were. Statements the code no longer matches are marked as history beside the current value (movie output slots: MD_NOUT 64, MD_NOUT_AAC 32, MD_NOUT_VIDEO 16; APP_POOL is the profile key app_pool; Engage's layout is 5 / 4.375 GB; inline uniform updates are deferred by default; scaled copies are drawn), and Tears of the Kingdom joins the node-area entry's build list (issue #70). The game notes, docs/agents/README.md, 02 and 05 link to the exact entries, and so do the comments in nvn_mtl.m (nvnTextureCompare) and hle_audio.c (the RemoteIO buffer) and the provisional-profile note in profile_guess.py. 03 goes from 29,600 to 470 words, 04 from 34,400 to 3,500. Checked: every backticked span, module address, issue / PR number and 16-digit hash of AGENTS.md, development.md, dm/games/README.md and docs/agents/01-05 at 6a06877 (4,600 items) still appears in the repository's Markdown (the same five file patterns as before appear as the full names they stood for), every relative link and heading anchor in the repository's Markdown resolves, and the tool tests pass (the four that need capstone or lz4 in the T7 venv)

Raw Blame History

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition (010014E00DB56000)

Update 1.0.3 (v196608), SDK 6.4.0. Media.Vision's MVGL engine (the PC version's), rendering with OpenGL, not NVN: NVIDIA's desktop GL 4.5 core profile through EGL, which the host implements on Metal (dm/gfx/gl/hle_gl.m). CRI middleware plays the sound (one 6-channel AudioOut) and the USM movies. Modules main, subsdk1 (the SDK's movie library) and sdk; subsdk0 is NVIDIA's OpenGL driver and is never loaded. Plays on the iPhone.

On the Mac: the logos, the title, the privacy policy, the DigiLab story choice, the EDEN chat opening (movies and real-time scenes), character creation and the login, into EDEN (the fly-in, then its entrance plaza in 3D with Taiga under control), with sound, at 60 fps in the menus and 30 from the story on (the game's own rates); no red line. About 0.95 GB resident (0.3 GB of Metal allocations in EDEN), flat over half an hour.

What it needs

Setting Where Why
modules main subsdk1 sdk game.tsv load order as on Horizon (subsdk1 = NintendoSDK_movie). subsdk0 is NVIDIA's OpenGL driver, which programs the GPU through NvRm: never loaded, the GL layer answers main's EGL imports
sys_resource 0x0 game.tsv no system resource, so no virtual address memory: nninitStartup gives its malloc a heap of the pool − used memory (3.13 GB of the 3.25 GB heap region), which it maps only as it touches it
4 GB layout: mem_reserve 0x100000000, mem_alias 0x10000000, mem_stack 0x10000000, app_pool 0xCD500000 game.tsv the 4 GB layout of the games without virtual address memory
mem_used 0x4a00000 (74 MB) game.tsv the rewritten modules are larger than the default 64 MB of used memory
No NVN shader tables game.tsv shader_note no NVN shaders: gl_shaders.py writes the GL library and its table, not the profile
The GL path main's imports profile_guess.py gives graphics gl when main imports eglCreateWindowSurface and names glShaderSource; of the 22 games extracted (rendering.md says), only Digimon does
glslang packing for a GL game the NSP script runs gl_shaders.py in place of the NVN shader split and chain build (Mac and iOS libraries in <id>_build/shader/gl and shader/ios/gl); it needs brew install glslang

No pad_layout: the virtual gamepad starts in the 2D layout (the default).

Rendering (OpenGL)

  • Telling the API apart: main imports nvnBootstrapLoader and 13 EGL functions. Its graphics setup (main+0x5ed8f0) makes an NVN device first, which only a helper beside the movie player uses (main+0x528000–+0x52c400: a memory pool and four textures next to the movie's GL textures; 30 NVN functions, all in that helper). Then eglGetDisplay, eglBindAPI(EGL_OPENGL_API), a 4.5 core context, a window surface on vi::CreateLayer(w, h) and a glad loader (main+0x52c460). Absolum imports the same EGL functions (SDL3) but renders with NVN and names no GL function.
  • Which GL functions: glad asks eglGetProcAddress for 2,956 names and stores each in a global its code reaches through the GOT. A census of the GOT slots the code loads outside the loader (dm/tools/loader_census.py) gives the 79 functions the game calls: buffers, vertex arrays, textures (2D and cube, S3TC), framebuffers and renderbuffers, programs with plain glUniform*, glDrawElements / glDrawArrays, and three compatibility calls (glTexEnvi, glColorTable, glPixelTransferi). No uniform buffers, instancing or buffer mapping. Every other name gets a null pointer.
  • Current: the GL layer. One context; GL calls are encoded into Metal as they come, one command buffer per frame; GL's bottom-up orientation through the NVN layer's lower-left origin (mtl_set_origin_lower_left: flipped viewports, reversed winding, a flipped present); textures made on first use from the levels given (the loader defines them level by level); buffers orphaned on glBufferData (a new MTLBuffer when the GPU may still read the old one); the window surface (the size of the game's vi::CreateLayer, 1920x1080) presented through the NVN layer's present path, paced by the swap interval.
  • Without glBindAttribLocation the game's attribute index is the Metal one: glGetAttribLocation returns the shader's own attribute numbers.
  • Resolved: Metal refuses a swizzle on a texture that can be a render target (Texture swizzling is not compatable with MTLTextureUsageRenderTarget, in the first story scene), so only luminance / alpha formats get a swizzle; Metal reads a channel a format lacks as 0 (alpha 1), as GL does.
  • Present: three window textures through the NVN layer's present path (mtl_ext_tex). The game sets the swap interval to 60 ÷ its frame rate before each swap: 1 at the title and in the DigiLab, 2 from the story's opening on.

Shaders

  • Current: GLSL ES 3.20 source compiled at run time with glShaderSource / glCompileShader: 1,682 .shad files in the MVGL archives (615 distinct) and 37 strings in main (post effects, FXAA, shadows, the movie's YUV).
  • dm/gfx/tools/gl_shaders.py <RomFS> <main> <dir> [--ios <dir>] translates them offline with glslang and SPIRV-Cross into <dir>/gl/ (676 shaders). A string in main says nothing of its stage, so it is translated as each stage that compiles (one fragment shader defines vPosition as gl_Position). The host finds each shader by the hash of its text and its stage.
  • What NVIDIA's compiler accepts and glslang does not, fixed up on the preprocessed text: the GLSL ES 1.0 functions textureCube / texture2D in ES 3.20 code (89 fragment shaders; with -V glslang reads textureCube as Vulkan's texture type, so a macro cannot rename it), out vec4 gl_Position redeclared through a macro (the built-in sprite shader), and textureOffset with an offset that is not a constant (FXAA), which becomes a plain sample at P + offset ÷ level 0 size.
  • DM_GL_CAPTURE=<dir> writes every source the game compiles, which gl_shaders.py reads like a RomFS; every one captured on the route so far is in the archives or main.

Files

  • Everything but the movies is in nine MVGL archives (DSDB*.nx64.mvgl: MDB1, a name tree, doboz-compressed entries; dm/gfx/tools/mvgl.py lists and reads them); four of them are CRI AFS2 sound banks under the same extension. The profile's romfs_marker is DSDB.nx64.mvgl.

Movies

  • The USM movies are loose CRI files. Their H.264 is decoded through the SDK's movie library (subsdk1, the host's decoder) into NV12 buffers (3,110,400 bytes a 1920x1080 frame); the game uploads the planes into a GL_RED and a GL_RG texture (two glTexSubImage2D a frame) and converts YUV in its own shader (in main, SamplerY / SamplerUV).

Services

SDK 6.4.0 boots, one each:

  • Resolved: UNIMPL eglGetDisplay, then Break right after nv::InitializeGraphics and vi::OpenDefaultDisplay (main+0x5ed9d0): the game renders with GL through EGL. The host's GL layer answers the EGL imports and eglGetProcAddress.
  • Resolved: SIGBUS in __vfprintf under aoc_load, from h_aoc_Count (a store to 0x…67ff0, right below a page of the guest thread's stack): the first add-on content query lists DM_AOC_DIR and logs, a few KB of stack, and the game asks from a thread with little left. aoc::CountAddOnContent and ListAddOnContent now run on the big host stack (HLE_FORCE_BIG, hle_misc.c).
  • vi::CreateLayer(w, h) keeps the layer's size for the window surface.

Mac routes

  • A fresh save reaches EDEN with DM_KBD=Taiga DM_KEYS="f2000:A*26/200,f7300:Right,f7400:A,f7600:A,f7800:Right,f7850:A,f8100:A*39/250,f9000:Plus*15/600,f18000:Down*3/1200,f18100:A*3/1200,f21700:Left*300/250,f21800:A*300/250" (the title, the privacy policy, the DigiLab: Cyber Sleuth, no options, A through the opening chat; the login form comes at frame 18,500 to 19,700).
  • The name is a field of that form: A opens the keyboard, and the game's name screen stays up about 500 frames after the text arrives, where another A opens it again, so Down and A come 1,200 frames apart. The login prompt defaults to No, hence Left before each A from there; EDEN at about frame 22,500.

Found on this game

General host changes first needed here; each applies to every game:

Open

  • The player-facing README lists the games that start in the 2D layout and says the others start in 3D; Digimon is not in that list, but its profile has no pad_layout (the default, 2D).
