Syphon Filter on AnyPS5

Verified

• Linux 7.2.9 (Arch) / Ryzen 9 7950X / Radeon RX 6650 XT / RADV Mesa 26.2.4 / GCC / Release (discussion #9516, 22 Oct 2026): Syphon Filter PPSA06323 content 01.000.003. Furthest point named In-game (first mission, Georgia Street). PS1 classics via Sony's emulator and disc image SyphonFilter_SCES01910_SCEE_EN.bin. With Noto substitutes from USAGE.md and #5209, a 180 s run reached the studio logo, the Guacimo Costa Rica intro, the Washington DC briefing (Press X to continue), then Georgia Street with Gabe, the armor/health HUD, an enemy and the ammo counter. Window title 59.94 FPS throughout; no driver stop. Only Cross and touchpad clicks were scripted, so movement and combat were not exercised. Single community self-report. Patched stack, not a release zip. In game ≠ Playable.
• Same host and thread: relinked with relinker --registry --rpath <build>/core/libs/libs eboot.elf app.elf. Modules in sce_module converted with the title. System fonts must be present as USAGE.md describes (ANYPS5_SYSTEM_FONTS; this set uses NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc with NotoSans-Regular.ttf as fallback). START is a touchpad click; Options does not advance that screen.
• Cited AnyPS5 commits in that report: main 38d3c0858a with fix(agc): resolve and render a multisampled target through its sRGB twin format #8847 (12223bf208; still open). The same build with libSceFont from 38d3c0858a plus fix(libSceFont): keep horizontal writing on a single baseline #5209 (still open). On plain main the emulator controller-layout screen's text steps down one glyph per line and only the first word of each string is visible. With #5209 the text renders on one baseline: "Click the touch pad button to use the SELECT button and START button" and "Press START to play!".
• The reporter marked AI-assisted testing and report: yes, Claude Code. The furthest-point observation (studio logo through the first mission on Georgia Street) is the reporter's. Any images in that thread, including the #5209 before/after crop, are the reporter's, not captures from this site.

Blocked

• Without system fonts the title stops with SIGSEGV 6 s in, right after sceFontOpenFontSet fails for set 0x1808B4D4 (file=(none), 0x80460036) (discussion #9516). That is the documented missing-fonts case. Under GDB the emulator's own code reads through a pointer that holds -7. Current blocker once the fonts are present: none.
• Without #5209 the emulator's UI text is laid out vertically; the reporter did not check whether that blocks play. Touchpad START was only tested with #5209 in. #5209 is still an open pull request. An official zip or unmodified main may keep that vertical layout.

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 patched in-game report. The cited play used 38d3c0858a+#8847 and the same build plus #5209, not a release zip. An official zip may stop earlier.
• Windows. No cited Windows session of this title in discussion #9516.
• Audio. The cited report says audio was not checked.
• Gameplay, movement, or combat. Only Cross and touchpad clicks were scripted, so those were not exercised.
• Progress past the first mission on Georgia Street, later missions, or completion. The cited report does not go further.
• Save/load. No cited report tests creating a save and loading it back.
• Network or online play. No cited report tests it.
• Output resolution. Discussion #9516 does not name a resolution for the 59.94 FPS sample.
• NVIDIA or Intel GPU in-game reports. The cited Linux host is Radeon RX 6650 XT RADV only.
• Whether #8847 is required for Syphon Filter's picture. It is part of the cited play stack; #8847 itself was tested on Curved Space, not claimed as a Syphon Filter screenshot.
• Whether the vertical emulator UI without #5209 blocks play. The reporter did not check that case.
