LZ4 Compression: pack APR-EMU games into LZ4 right on the PS5, no PC needed

(need quick update release will be available soon later today)

Made an app that LZ4 packs APR-EMU games entirely on the console, so the game never has to go to a PC and back.

Open a game that has APR-EMU (a fakelib/libSceAmpr.sprx), hit Compress with LZ4 and that's it. It builds the AMPR index, packs the game data, checks every packed file byte for byte against the original and installs the pack-capable APR-EMU runtime for you.

- Fast, HC 9 or HC 12

- Automatic profile, or upload your own ampr_pack TOML from your phone or PC

- Output to internal, USB/M.2, or pack in place if you're short on space

- Packs come out byte for byte the same as drakmor's ampr_pack.py at HC 9 and HC 12

- Verify LZ4 Packs and Uncompress LZ4 are built in

- Also does .ffpfsc, images, validate/repair and copy/move

Load lz4-compression.elf from Payload Manager (or send it to 9021), then open the LZ4 Compression tile or http://<PS5 IP>:5920. Tested on 13.60 with kstuff and ShadowMount+ 1.7. It has its own tile and port so it won't clash with Game Compressor.

Unofficial, built on Game Compressor and Lazy_AMPR, full credits in the README. 🙏

(just seen similar projects here but this took a while so didn't want to rush the upload)

New hand tracking feature on PSVR2 instead of controllers. Thanks to VR kernel calls.

Continuing the work on my PS5VR media player. I managed to get the VR camera to track your hands whilst they move, with joint detection and the pinch action to select. Thought it looked pretty cool and I found it exciting for the prospects of PSVR2 mechanics using SDK libraries that VR games call.

Future implementation for customisation of laser pointers, hands etc. Eye tracking works well but is very experimental at this point, blink detection assumes eye tracking reports 'no gaze' while your eyes are closed.

Nuvio on PS5 with a native player (4K HDR, hardware HEVC, TrueHD/DTS-HD)

I've been working on getting Nuvio running properly on the PS5 and it's at a point where other people can try it.

The browser route never really worked for me. No HDR, remuxes wouldn't play, no lossless audio. So this runs the normal Nuvio TV interface as an app on the console, and when you hit play it hands the stream to a native player that uses the PS5's video decoder. It's styled to look like Nuvio's own player, so it doesn't feel like you've jumped into a different app.

What works right now:

- Hardware decoding for HEVC (8 and 10-bit) and H.264, up to 4K
- HDR10 output. Dolby Vision profile 8 plays through its HDR10 layer
- UHD Blu-ray remuxes, including the tiled ones the PS5 decoder won't take (those go through a software decoder on all cores and still keep up at 24fps)
- TrueHD (Atmos tracks play), DTS-HD MA, E-AC-3 etc.
- ASS with proper styling, SRT, WebVTT, PGS, and subtitles from your Nuvio addons
- 30 seconds of read-ahead, so debrid streams don't stall. If your connection dips, it pauses once and refills instead of stuttering
- Subtitle/audio/source/episode panels, next episode, skip intro, Continue Watching
- Back takes you to where you were in Nuvio, and progress and Trakt get saved

To install, grab nuvio-ps5.elf from the release and send it to your ELF loader on 9021 after your usual payloads. It installs a Nuvio tile on the home screen. I'd put it at the end of your autoload list so it comes up with everything else.

I've been testing on 13.60 with Relapse, kstuff-lite, ShadowMount+ and etaHEN. It should work on any firmware with an ELF loader, but that's the setup I've actually used.

Source and release: https://github.com/theghostonline/Nuvio-PS5

This isn't an official Nuvio build and I'm not connected to their team. It doesn't come with any content, it just plays whatever your own addons give it.

If something doesn't play, a GitHub issue with your firmware and the source details (remux or web-dl, codec, HDR type, audio) helps a lot more than a comment.

Hitman Controller Preset

Has anyone switched to the hitman controller preset? Just curious since I played quite a bit of Hitman freelancer and returned to this game and muscle memory kicks in when the left and right bumpers are switched.

Hi, this may be extremely obvious to a lot of people, however, I found it quite helpful when searching for help, advice, or just browsing. Since I'm from the UK, I use the term elvanse, and many other countries use the different brand names, so when I have a specific query, I worry about it being not found due to brand name differences. I figured out the solution, which is, when searching use the term:

(vyvanse OR elvanse OR lisdexamfetamine)

instead of the brand name that you'd mainly look for information as I've found it to be much more helpful when connecting to global audiences and finding advice that isn't available with Elvanse etc. tags.

Again, this may be obvious, but since I'm quite computer literate and even I didn't know how to include each search term without excluding others in reddit posts/medical forum, I thought it'd be quite helpful.

(I hope whoever sees this post is blessed with a 12hr undisturbed sleep)
