Upscale mosaic. At draw-resolution scale > 1, AC6's deferred
EDRAM restore passes do integer pixel-address math on the PsParamGen
position. Its leftover sub-guest-pixel fraction scrambles into an 8x8
mosaic. Floor the param-gen position (param_gen_integer_guest_position)
and re-add the host sub-pixel at the fetch (param_gen_host_subpixel_restore).
Inert at 1x.
De-swizzle scramble. Some AC6 restore/resample passes
manually de-swizzle the Xenos EDRAM sub-tile layout of their source, which
is only correct on tiled data. The emulator detiles everything to linear,
so the de-swizzle always scrambles, streaking the cloud/effects pipeline.
For allowlisted shader hashes (ac6_neutralize_deswizzle_hashes) the sample
coordinate is replaced with the identity host-texel UV (a 1:1 copy).
Suspend the FPS unlock while a demo-manager Exec (DD sub_82184460 / EM sub_821856F8) ticks, so the frame-locked IngameCinematics Sequencer plays at native ~30fps instead of double speed. Adds ac6_cutscene_clamp CVar (default on).
Recovers the Apr 23 hand-edit (lost in subsequent refactors) and re-wires
it as a TOML midasm hook so codegen regeneration can no longer drop it.
Hook fires immediately after the guest decompressor (bl 0x822CF510)
returns, reads the entry record via r11 (codec at +1, csize at +8,
usize at +12), source offset from *(r31+22888), entry tag from r10, and
calls Ac6DumpPacDecodedEntry with the decoded buffer at r4. With
AC6_DUMP_PAC_DECODED=1, all 800 compressed entries now drop as
FHM-magic'd entry_*_mode1_*.bin in out/ac6_pac_runtime_dump/.
Also adds streamer-worker dispatch probes (AC6_TRACE_PAC_WORK_ITEMS),
PPC stack walking on PAC reads (AC6_TRACE_PAC_STACKS), the AC6 PAC
index parser, the chunk-coalescing dump fallback, and a user-facing
walkthrough at docs/ac6_asset_extraction_walkthrough.txt.
