Installing a package
Every port here needs a jailbroken console running GoldHEN, and installs the same way:
- Copy the
.pkgto/data/pkgon the console over FTP. - On the console: Settings → Debug Settings → Package Installer, or GoldHEN's own package installer.
- Pick the package and install it.
Tested on firmware 11.00 with GoldHEN v2.4b18.10 by SiSTRo: RetroArchV, Sonic 3 A.I.R., OpenGothic. Other firmware and other jailbreak builds may work — nobody has checked, and a report either way is useful.
Each port installs under its own title id, and the console decides collisions by title id, not by the name on screen: a port sits beside another build of the same program rather than replacing it.
| Port | Title id | Keeps its files in | Quit with |
|---|---|---|---|
| RetroArchV | RTRV00001 | /data/retroarch/ | Quit RetroArch in its own menu, or the Quit combo on the pad |
| Sonic 3 A.I.R. | SAIR00001 | /data/sonic3air/ | Exit in the game's main menu |
| OpenGothic | TMPS10021 | /data/OpenGothic/ | Exit in the game's main menu |
Quit from inside, not from the console. Closing a port from the console's own menu — the PS button, then Close Application — does not end it cleanly. Use the quit entry in the table above; each port's page says what happens otherwise.
What they are built on
All of them draw through the same graphics stack and link against the same platform layer.
- orbis-ports/mesa-ps4 — Mesa for the PlayStation 4: RADV for Vulkan, and OpenGL 4.6 through zink on top of it. (MIT)
- orbis-ports/orbis-compat — The platform overlay: OpenOrbis toolchain files, libc and pthread shims, a Vulkan loader shim, packaging and console logging.
