seeddsandb4f8abbb24dbf56a7d0280f296e16eeb c3a0880304 Guard Metal image atomics and reject unsupported bindings ...

Apply the generalized image-atomic bounds and backing checks from PR #178.
Also reject unsupported descriptor formats before integer fallback and fail
unresolved bindless atomics instead of silently deleting them. Rebuild the
translator and record chain 467efdfd0b62, with regression tests and findings.

Validation: compiler/helper and sanitizer tests, 96 Metal compile/link checks,
ten GPU probes, all 28,603 Z-A shaders for Mac and iPhone, and a 240-second
Mac station-area run reaching 6,987 frames without a freeze or GPU fault.
Reported iPhone cases and the station-to-world transition remain unverified.

nx_extract

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE (0100C2A01A730000, update 1.1.3, Koei Tecmo's KTGL on SDK 17.5.3): game profile plus three general changes. Plays on the iPhone with a controller (IPA 16.8 GB); on the Mac from the logo movie, the intro and the title through a new game (the recommended setup, the opening story), the council, espionage, a month's missions, the 3D city view, a visit, a practice duel in 3D and a save and load, at 30 fps as on the Switch with sound, about 2 GB resident in the council and 2.5 GB in the duel, flat on a screen left idle. nx_extract: the update is a multi-program patch, the game's patch (…0000) beside a whole second program (…0001, 34 MB, its own Control NCA) that main starts with nn::oe::ExecuteProgram(1); nx_extract took the first Program NCA, the second program, and stopped with "NCA section 1 does not exist" layering it over the base game. It now takes the base NSP's lowest title ID (program index 0) and the update's Program and Control NCAs of that title ID (Balatro and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe extract as before; the host runs program 0 only). shader_split.py: a newer RDB than Age of Calamity's, 296 .fdata files (PDRK0000 and u64 0x10, then IDRK entries) beside data/*.file; flag 0x400000 marks chunks of a new form (u16 stored length, 8 bytes, the stream; a zero length ends; 16 KB inflated at most), LZ4 blocks with 0x100000 too, zlib otherwise; every other flag value is read as before. All 51,655 entries (49,620 LZ4, 2,026 zlib, 9 stored) inflate to the length in their header. The shaders are G2S (_S2G5000 / 6000 / 7000) and _DOK0000 containers again: 59,214 GLSLC outputs there and 149 in main (149 before the change), all built for the Mac and iOS. hle_audren.c: SDK 17.5.3's OpenAudioRenderer with an event calls the form without one through the PLT (sdk+0x1e489c), which the loader binds to the host's hook, so ar_open ran twice for one renderer: the inner call started the render thread before the event existed and the outer one logged a second renderer; the inner call (t_in_open) now goes straight to the SDK. Profile: pad_layout full (the dialogue boxes' auto and log buttons are the right stick and R3; the game reads a USB mouse, not the touch screen), mem_used 80 MB, a prewarm list recorded on the Mac over the route above (451 entries). Left as is: three shaders get textures of another type on some slots (texture type mismatch, once each), with nothing wrong on screen. Checked: the NSP script packs it from the NSPs alone (Mac and iOS shaders, 1 h 19 min and 1 h 29 min on a 12-core M6), the four tool test files pass (34 tests), profile_guess.py gives the profile's memory keys. README (games table, a Mac picture of the duel), AGENTS.md (48 → 49), docs/development.md and docs/agents say so

docs_symptoms.py

A short AGENTS.md: what the repository is (the native-execution model, the host and its three graphics layers, sixty games, each with its note in dm/games/<id>/README.md and a row in the games table), where to start for each kind of task (a crash, abort, hang, [RED] line or wrong picture: the symptom index, then the reference entry and its games; a game short of its frame loop: 03; rendering: 04 and the rendering, shaders and NVN objects references; one game or its profile: its note; another title: the NSP script and docs/agents; packing, building, prewarm, power: development.md), and where a new finding goes, once (a fact about one game in its note; a general mechanism as an entry in its reference, the symptom index regenerated and a line in the note's Found on this game; this file only for a rule or the count). The rules are as before. The game list of 4,500 words, one sentence per game, is gone: each sentence is in its game's note. New dm/tools/docs_symptoms.py writes docs/agents/symptoms.md from the references' Symptom bullets (--check reports whether it is current). The NSP script's survey points at docs/reference/nvn-objects.md for SDK object sizes and at the symptom index; Balatro's note names capture_shaders. AGENTS.md goes from 6,235 to 1,137 words. 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 on main still appears in the repository's Markdown (besides the five file patterns, nn::hid::GetGestureStates and nn::oe::SetCpuOverclockEnabled appear without the nn:: prefix in Taiko Risshiden V DX's note), every relative link and anchor resolves, and the tool tests and test_xcode_workflow pass

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door plays on the Mac at 60 fps: profile 0100ECD018EBE000 (update 1.0.1, SDK 15.3.2)

2026-10-22 13:03:03 +08:00

loader_census.py

Balatro (0100CD801CE5E000, update 1.1.3, LÖVE 11.4 "love-nx" with LuaJIT and SDL on SDK 18.3.2): game profile and the GL layer LÖVE needs, plus four general changes. Plays on the iPhone by touch; on the Mac from the intro and the title into a run and its tutorial, at 60 fps with sound, about 0.65 GB resident and flat over three minutes. The game is Lua source in the RomFS and renders with NVIDIA's desktop OpenGL through EGL, as Digimon does. GL layer (dm/gfx/gl/hle_gl.m): LÖVE reads GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK and takes its core-profile paths only when it says core (with a compatibility profile it streams vertices from client memory, which Metal cannot draw from), so the layer answers core and implements what those paths use, about 150 functions in all against Digimon's 79: persistently mapped buffers (glBufferStorage, glMapBufferRange: the shared MTLBuffer's own memory), glBufferSubData in command order, fences (a fence is the serial of the command buffer being recorded; a wait on one still recording commits it), glBindAttribLocation (the game's attribute index of each Metal input, set at the link) and current attribute values (glVertexAttrib4f: LÖVE's VertexColor and ConstantColor are disabled arrays), glGetActiveUniform and the uniform read-backs, every glUniform* form, glTexStorage2D / 3D with their level counts, 3D and 2D array textures (LÖVE makes a default of each type on 96 units), GL_TEXTURE_SWIZZLE_* (its font glyphs are RG8 read as R, R, R, G), glGenerateMipmap as a blit (the game's images are mipmapped), instanced and base-vertex draws, separate read and draw framebuffers, glBlitFramebuffer (colour, same size), glReadPixels, glClearBufferfv, glFrontFace and the EGL calls SDL makes; stack arguments of the functions with more than eight are 64-bit, as AAPCS64 lays them out. DM_GL_STUBS=1 gives every GL name the layer lacks a stub of its own that reports its first call, instead of a null pointer. Shaders: LÖVE puts its 35 GLSL sources together at run time in Lua, so the NSP script captures them on the Mac as it does Super Mario Galaxy's SPIR-V (capture_shaders now serves both, profile gl_capture.tsv; profile_guess.py's gl_capture rule: an OpenGL game with no GLSL source in its RomFS or main), and gl_shaders.py keeps a bool uniform's declared type (a uint in SPIR-V; LÖVE's Shader:send takes only a boolean for a bool) and takes from main only strings that start with '#version <number>' (Balatro's main has glslang's messages). General: profile_guess.py leaves vkGetInstanceProcAddr, SDL's Vulkan loader, out of its Vulkan count (Balatro's provisional profile said Vulkan; Hades and both Galaxies import 99 or 100 Vulkan functions); OpenAudioRenderer without an event now starts the host's render thread too (hle_audren.c ar_open: only the form with an event did, and such a game was silent); loader_census.py follows registers in a straight line (adrp, add, loads through relocated GOT entries, mov, csel), for LÖVE's glad, whose pointers are globals its code keeps the addresses of in registers; and the iPhone gamepad has a third layout, Tap (profile pad_layout touch, which needs op_mode handheld; DM_GAME_PAD_LAYOUT replaces DM_GAME_PAD_FULL): no control but the layout button, every touch to the game, offered in the layout cycle only in handheld mode. Profile: op_mode handheld (the Switch build plays by touch there), pad_layout touch, gl_capture.tsv. A Lua error makes Balatro quit (its Switch error handler), and love-nx's video worker is then deleted twice (main+0x339c00): the bring-up notes say how the errors were found. Checked: the NSP script packs it from the NSPs alone (the capture in under a second, 35 shaders for the Mac and iOS, an 82 MB IPA), tool tests pass, profile_guess.py --check changes no other profile; Digimon was not rerun (its files are not on hand). README (games table, a Mac picture of the title), AGENTS.md (47 → 48), docs/development.md, docs/agents and the READMEs of dm/games and dm/gfx say so

nso_asm.py

patch_nso.py split into the general rewriter and per-build patch files (GitHub issue #63): every game's bring-up edited the one file, so PRs for unrelated games conflicted. dm/tools/patch_nso.py (1,711 → about 1,100 lines) keeps the general passes and the driver; the instruction encoders move unchanged to dm/tools/nso_asm.py; a game's own patches (CUTS, OBS and the frame-step stubs, now FRAME_STEP = {build ID: stub(ctx)}) move verbatim with their comments to dm/games/<id>/patches.py (16 profiles: Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door with their stubs), and the cuts of Nintendo's sdk module builds, 6 of the 15 shipped by 2 to 4 games, to dm/tools/sdk_patches.py. The rewriter loads every patch file, whatever the game, and applies those of a module's build ID at the points it did before (cuts before the scan, gates after the rewrite, stubs after the gates); a build ID claimed twice stops it, and its command line needs no DM_GAME. build_src.sha256 lists the rewriter's files and every patch file (the same for every module). NSP script: the rewrite step's reuse key counts nso_asm.py and only the patch files that name one of the game's builds (patch_files), profile_files leaves patches.py out (only the rewrite step reads it), and a derived profile gets none. dm/tools/tests/test_patches.py: no build claimed twice, the entries' forms, a game's file names only its own profile's non-sdk builds, sdk_patches.py only sdk builds some profile ships, and the reuse key's patch files. Checked byte-identical: every extracted module on the game drive (131 builds) rewritten with the previous and the new rewriter gives the same outputs but build_src.sha256, 28 of the 30 patched builds among them (all four frame-step mains), and 7 fail alike (rtld, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe's, which no profile rewrites); the other two (Super Mario Bros. Wonder's mains and Absolum's, no game files here) by their CUTS / OBS data, equal to the previous tables. AGENTS.md, docs, dm/games/README.md, the profiles' comments and the host comments that named a game's cut in patch_nso.py now name its patches.py or sdk_patches.py

OCTOPATH TRAVELER II (0100A3501946E000, update 1.1.1 = v131072, Unreal Engine 4.27 on SDK 12.3.2): game profile, inline Unreal shaders in version 11 paks, and five general host fixes. Plays on the iPhone (IPA 5.9 GB, user; that IPA predates the geometry and allocator changes below). On the Mac: the boot, the title, a new game, the traveler selection, Hikari's opening into his first battle (won) and the scene after it, and Castti's opening (the flashback, the ship, free play on the deck), at 60 fps (frame time p50 16.7 ms, p95 about 17 ms) with CRIWARE sound, about 2.8 GB resident. Shaders: the project ships no shader code archives (bShareMaterialShaderCode off), so each material's shaders are inline in its .uexp and the global ones in Engine/GlobalShaderCache-SF_GLSL_SWITCH.bin, each an entry of FShaderMapResourceCode (an LZ4 block, its raw size, its frequency): uepak.py inline_shaders sends a version 11 pak with cooked packages and no .ushaderbytecode to shader_split.py's inline reader (ue_legacy_jobs; Zlib and LZ4 pak blocks decoded in Python, Pak.read), ue_inline_shaders finds each LZ4 block by its first literals (LSLG), and profile_guess.py / the NSP script tell the two kinds apart; 13,980 shaders in 13 s. Profile: Unreal's FMallocBinned3 cut with an OBS_UE_MALLOC gate as DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined's (GCreateMalloc main+0xbecbf0, a 20-slot vtable, hle_uemalloc.c), a 2 GB engine region (game_args) with the node-area cut on this SDK 12.3.2 build (sdk_patches.py, sdk+0x346190 / +0x34622c), fps_target 60 through t.MaxFPS / rhi.SyncInterval (hle_fpslock.c; the same route at 30 and 60 fps reaches the same scenes at the same times), pad_layout full (the battle menu picks weapons with the D-pad), a prewarm list of 843 lines. General fixes: (1) a shader may bind 96 resources instead of 64 (NVN_REFL_MAXB: the traveler selection's 3D map shader binds 66, and the map was black); (2) the parallel precompile look-ahead (pso_predict_rest) restores the scissor, which state_op keeps in R, not S: with pipelines built on demand the picture went bright green and white from Castti's flashback and Hikari's battlefield on (bisected with simultaneous runs; DM_NVN_PREDICT=0 turns the look-ahead off); (3) a geometry draw above the 256 MiB capture scratch bound is drawn in runs instead of skipped (nvn_geometry.inc geo_split: one instance at a time, then runs of at most 4,096 list primitives whose index range fits 64 MB, one read of the indices, one GPU wait), the index compaction after the geometry kernel runs as count / offset / write dispatches instead of one thread (each frame drawing Unreal's 129,032-triangle point light shadow took about 300 ms with it), and scratch arenas above 32 MB are released after 600 idle submissions (arena_new takes the smallest that fits); (4) MapMemory takes a thread stack from the host's Unreal heap (dm_ue_heap_owns: a range outside the guest block the host maps read-write, vm_region_64): with cae5ec2's stricter source check every Unreal game on the host heap aborted in MapAliasStack at nnMain (checked: this game and Pikmin 4 boot); (5) the host Makefile rebuilds on a change to dm/gfx/nvn/*.inc. Scripted input takes partly tilted sticks (L<x>/<y>): the traveler selection opens a card only while its quill cursor rests on a traveler, and full-tilt presses swept past them. Open: 2 of 87 Mac boots crashed at the title in the game's CRI cue sheet loader (main+0x1d8054, a record copied while one of its TArrays held count 1 and no data); the writer is not found yet (the game note). Checked: 57 tool tests, the gfx run list (t_geometry 95 checks) and the docs check pass; the NSP script packs the IPA from the NSPs (Mac and iOS). README (games gallery, a Mac picture of Hikari's first battle), the game note, the games table, docs/reference shaders / memory, docs/agents/04 and the symptom index say so
