When /app0/rct2/Data/g1.dat is missing, the title shows a screen with an address and a QR code
and receives the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 folder from a PC or phone: src/port/upload.c (the DOOM
port's server, keeping subfolders now) stores each file below the game's own folders (Data,
ObjData, Scenarios, Tracks, Landscapes; every part a plain name) and takes a ZIP file of the
folder, which the screen unpacks with libzip. The screen draws with SDL and fonts rendered from
DejaVu Sans at build time (tools/make-font.py), since OpenRCT2 cannot draw before the game files
are there; it starts the game once they are complete.
tools/send.py sends a folder or a ZIP file the way the page does. Console test plans can point
the game at another folder (game) and remove test folders (remove); test/console-import.cfg
imports into /app0/rct2-import. On the console the screen worked and received the Data folder
before the PS5 went to rest; the transfer ran at 2.2 MB/s, so the server now asks for a 1 MiB
receive buffer and writes whole 256 KiB chunks.
Spike for the native PS5 title (PPSA99728). OpenRCT2 with the software renderer compiles and
links into a signed module; nothing has run on the console yet.
- tools/ps5-cc, ps5-c++ and ps5-link: clang 18 for x86_64-sie-ps5, and links that produce real
PS5 modules (prospero-lld, native-app linker layout, ps5-native-tool), so configure checks see
what the console offers.
- src/runtime: malloc from a direct-memory mspace, a sandbox-safe opendir family and scandir,
and the libc functions libc++ and the libraries need that the console's libc lacks.
- tools/build-deps.sh: zlib, libpng, zstd, libzip, Ogg, Vorbis, FLAC, nlohmann/json, ICU 78.3
(filtered to OpenRCT2's five code pages) and ps5-payload-dev's SDL2, pinned by SHA-256.
- tools/build-host.sh: the Linux build that makes OpenRCT2's data folder.
- patches/openrct2: the PS5 title supplies main.
