Raptor: Call of the Shadows (PS5)

What changed in RC2

• Persistent user storage: saves, shared controller settings, game settings, owned game files and downloaded shareware now live under /data/RaptorPS5/, outside the replaceable app folder.
• Safer future updates: catalog updates can replace /data/homebrew/PPSA94002/ without removing files under /data/RaptorPS5/.
• Classic and Enhanced remain unchanged: no gameplay, balance, timing or save-format changes.

Important migration step for existing players

Before updating from RC1 or an earlier build through the PS5 Homebrew Catalog, fully close Raptor and move or back up existing saves/, content/, SETUP.INI, loose FILE*.GLB files and shareware-original.zip into the matching locations under /data/RaptorPS5/. The catalog replaces the whole app folder, so old files left there may be deleted before RC2 starts and can no longer be imported. Alternatively, while the old folder still exists, replace only eboot.bin with RC2 and launch once to let it import recognized files; verify pilots, settings and game data before using the catalog updater. See the attached MIGRATION.md.

RaptorPS5 v1.0.0-rc.2 — Classic + Enhanced

The Classic + Enhanced base port is feature complete. This second release candidate is ready for more players, more consoles and complete campaign playthroughs before v1.0.0.

Two ways to fly

• Classic: the original presentation, gameplay, weapons, balance and progression.
• Enhanced: smooth 60 FPS rendering without changing gameplay timing, a centered original playfield in 16:9, and original-asset side HUD panels with Megabomb and special-weapon icons. Full campaign, hangar, shop and separate Enhanced pilots are included.
