RIDGE RACER on AnyPS5

Verified

• Windows 11 (10.0.26200) / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU (NVIDIA 617.42) / MinGW-w64 GCC 15.2.0 (discussion #8196, 20 Oct 2026): RIDGE RACER PPSA31372 content 01.000.002 on unmodified main eaae7e069, with no pull requests on top. Windows in game — boots to the menu and plays. Audio and a PS4 controller work. Menu text renders once the Noto fonts are placed in anyps5-fonts/. During a race the road flickers blue intermittently (menu scenes are unaffected). FPS was not reported. eaae7e069 predates v0.1.3. eaae7e069 is the merge of #7753 and is in v0.1.3. Single community self-report. In game ≠ Playable.
• Same Windows host and thread: The SELF eboot.bin and sce_module/libc.prx were unwrapped to ELF, then relinked for Windows. That unwrap is a conversion step, not a game patch. Relinked for Windows is a relinker step, not a game patch. The Noto fonts in anyps5-fonts/ are a host font set, not a game patch. Environment variables on that run are host environment variables, not a game patch. No extra title patch file is named as required.

Blocked

• Current blocker in discussion #8196: blue flicker on the road during races only. Issue #865: StorageTexture write-back keeps the CPU's bytes for a whole 64 KiB block when a CPU stamp lands in a partial (edge) block, dropping GPU results for bytes the CPU did not change. This is the case that remains open after #1599 (the byte-by-byte edge merge from the closed PR #1918). #1599 merged as 0aaadd6457 (10 Oct) and is in v0.1.3. #865 stays open.
• The form furthest point is In game. What is shown is boots to the menu and plays, with audio and a PS4 controller, and blue flicker on the road during a race. FPS was not reported for that cited furthest. In game on that cited main is not a Playable claim.
• APS5_EAGER_WRITEBACK=1 sidesteps the glyph-box form of the write-back and collapses race loading to sub-5 FPS, so it is not a usable workaround for this title. That sub-5 FPS is the workaround, not a frame rate for the cited furthest.

Unknown

• Official-table membership. This title is a community report (official: false), not a tested-compatibility table row.
• Whether the current official release zip matches this report. Cited commit eaae7e069 (19 Oct, 07:47 UTC) predates v0.1.3 (3fd1cc393b, 20 Oct, 07:07 UTC), but the cited run used unmodified main, not the official zip.
• Linux. No cited Linux session of this title in discussion #8196.
• macOS. No cited macOS session of this title in discussion #8196.
• FPS or a performance number for the cited furthest. Discussion #8196 does not name a frame rate for the menu or the race on unmodified main eaae7e069. The sub-5 FPS figure is only the APS5_EAGER_WRITEBACK=1 workaround.
• Host CPU. The cited host names Windows 11 / GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU and does not name a CPU.
• Save or load of a newly written slot. Discussion #8196 does not name a save write or reload.
• Later races or an ending. Discussion #8196 names a race with blue flicker on the road and does not name a later race or an ending.
• Network or online play. Discussion #8196 does not check them.
• The perf/agc-storage-texture-budget head ea0fcecd7 as furthest. The same report tested that branch; that branch is not the cited furthest.
