Super Mario Sunshine

Super Mario Sunshine on the PS5, built on sms-pc-port by chasem-dev, whose work this is. Please star and support that project.

This is still an early release and is not fully tested. Only the start of the game has been played on a PS5. Keep a copy of your save.

What's new

• Ready to play. Download the zip, copy the PPSA99312 folder to the console and add your disc image. Nothing to build.
• The HD texture pack goes in as published. Unpack the UHD pack and the HD extras into mods/textures/. The console halves images over 3072 pixels the first time each one is used and keeps the result, so the first visit to an area loads a little slower (Delfino Plaza: 9 seconds the first time, about 6 after) and every visit after that is quick.

What you need

• A PS5 that runs homebrew (etaHEN, ShadowMountPlus, an FTP server)
• Your own disc image of the game: North America, GMSE01 revision 0, as .iso, .gcm or .ciso

How to install

• Download and unzip Sunshine-PS5-v0.10.0.zip
• Copy the PPSA99312 folder into /data/homebrew/ on the console
• Copy your disc image into that folder, beside eboot.bin
• Optional: the HD textures, as the README describes

Updating: copy the new PPSA99312 folder over the old one. Your saves, settings, disc image and texture packs are left alone.

What is not in it

• No game data. The title reads everything from your disc image.
• No texture packs; they belong to their authors and are downloaded from them.

Known problems

• Only the start of the game has been played
• Bianco Hills has not yet been played with the console doing the texture halving itself
• A save state loads exactly only in the release that saved it; in a newer one it puts Mario back where he was and keeps your progress, but the level starts afresh
