Sonic 3 A.I.R. for PlayStation 4

The notes below are the text of the release Sonic 3 A.I.R. 26.08.15.0 for PS4 (r1).

Based on upstream Sonic 3 A.I.R. 26.08.15.0 - Eukaryot/sonic3air@5cecd683 (v26.08.15.0-test-23-g5cecd683), PS4 port revision 1.

Sonic 3 A.I.R. (Angel Island Revisited) for the PlayStation 4, on a jailbroken console (GoldHEN).

Desktop OpenGL 4.6 through zink on RADV (mesa-ps4), SDL2 with native PS4 video, audio and controller drivers.

Install

Copy the .pkg to the console (for example over FTP to /data/pkg/) and install it with Settings → Debug Settings → Package Installer (or GoldHEN's package installer). It installs as Sonic 3 A.I.R., title id SAIR00001.
Provide the ROM yourself - it is NOT included and never will be. The game needs the Sonic 3 & Knuckles ROM from the Steam release (Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin, 4 MiB). Upload it over FTP to:
```
/data/sonic3air/Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin
```
(create the /data/sonic3air/ directory if it does not exist; /mnt/usb0/sonic3air/ is searched as well).
Optional - remastered soundtrack (~126 MB, not in the pkg): upload audioremaster.bin (the remastered soundtrack package of Sonic 3 A.I.R. - e.g. made from this repository with sonic3air_linux -pack) to /data/sonic3air/audioremaster.bin, then pick Options → Audio → Soundtrack Type: Remastered in the game.

Settings, progress and the log file are kept in /data/sonic3air/savedata/.

Known issues

Closing the game from the PS4 system menu (Close Application) does not work properly - a known mesa-ps4 driver bug. Quit through Exit in the game's main menu instead.
Online features (update check, ghost sync, netplay) are disabled.
