PS5X360

PS5X360 v1.0.2

Online play now gets past the start on the PS5, the emulator speaks every language it lists, a dark theme, a Windows app that installs DLC and title updates over the network, and the Helper 1.3.0. Compatibility keeps improving, but results depend on the game, firmware and homebrew setup.

Online play (experimental)

Turn it on in the home screen's Online channel ("Online: LIGADO"). Use the game's Xbox LIVE menu to play with people far away: System Link only finds games on your own home network.

• Requests to the Xenia server no longer hang. Closing each request took 55 seconds on the PS5 (the console ignored "do not wait" on its sockets), so games gave up with "Cannot reach API server". It now takes under a second.
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 no longer stays on a black screen at start with online on. A request sent without data made the network library wait for keyboard input that never comes on a console. MW2 now reaches its menu and searches Xbox LIVE matches through the Xenia server.
• Requests to the server have time limits (10 s to connect, 30 s in all), so a server that does not answer can no longer freeze a game, and each request is written to the game's log with its result and time.
• Games' own non-blocking sockets now really do not wait on the PS5.
• Router ports: the PS5 does not let programs use ports below 1024, so a game's port 1000 is opened as 11000 on the console. The automatic router request (UPnP) now asks for the game's port towards the real one (1000 to 11000). Many routers refuse ports below 1024 that way (UPnP error code 501 in the log); then add the forwarding rules by hand on the router, UDP, to your PS5's address: 1000 to 11000, 1001 to 11001, 1013 to 11013 (MW2's; the log's XSocket::Bind lines show each game's).
