Hello, I did some research and I managed to find out that mesa above 21.0 broke this Commit 6e7008e9 if you remove these changes, then the versions above also work, but this is not complete solution, also in mesa 22 this function was heavily reworked so it won’t work so just you need to figure out what’s the matter, unfortunately for me it’s a dark forest and it takes a lot of time to figure it out and do something, I hope there are people here who this is better understood and we can understand how to fix it correctly. Also, from observations with changes from a commit, applications continue to work if you run them with a window size of 400x400 or so on mesa 22, this also works, but if you stretch the window, the system freezes.

zerobou This is definitely an awesome work. I know the troubles you went to work through each and every commit to finally find the faulty one. I will try to remove the commit changes and maybe we could finally have the best Mesa for every distro. And, keep up the good work, my man!

it seems that in mesa22.2 there are still changes that break support for pro, if you fix this function on 22.2, then the mesa only works with llvm, until the fix the system will be frozen without recovery when using llvm. On 21.3, both llvm and aco work, but when using the aco on 22.2, this fix does not affect the behavior, the problem remains the same as initially, the system freezes, but not like on 21.1-21.3, if the program is run with a window size less than 400x400, then everything works, if the window is stretched, the system will freeze, but if at this moment the window is squeezed back, then after a while the gpu will restart and work will continue.

Mesa above 21.0 on ps4 pro.

zerobou Had the exact same issue (aco working on windowed mode only) on some versions of Mesa like 21.8, I guess.

zerobou

noob404 well, that's interesting, do you remember which minimal commit didn't work? This information will help narrow down your search.

noob404

zerobou Damn wish I still had the VM I used to build it. Unfortunately, I delete em due to storage issues.

zerobou

hello if anyone wants to test here is mesa for ps4 pro

mesa21.3-devel for ps4 pro, for fedora based distro.

mesa22.0-devel for ps4 pro, for fedora based distro.

mesa22.1-devel for ps4 pro, for fedora based distro.

mesa21.3 for ps4 pro, for arch based distro.

If you are testing it is possible to write back how it works since I only do minimal tests.

Hello guys and thank you for your immense work
I use this distro: https://ps4linux.com/nobara-os-ps4-release/
I would like to install the zerobou mesa 22.1 drivers, could you please tell me the installation procedure?

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

zerobou Is this only for ps4 pro or it works on ps4 phat because i want to install fedora 35 by noob but i want to upgrade mesa because the mesa version on his distro is 21.3.8 and i want to upgrade to 22.1 and also if i wanted to upgrade to let's say mesa 23.0.0 git do i just have to download it from a site or it has to be a specific mesa for ps4 ?

jvlj

The version 22.1 worked with nobara7 on a ps4slim CUH-2016A. Thanks for this.

noob404

jvlj Thanks for testing this out. Unfortunately, Mesa has issues on Pro. If you have a Pro, please test on that too.

jvlj

noob404 unfortunately I don't have a pro.

Tested mesa 22.1 working on my ps4 pro cuh7016 fedora35 using dolphin-emu and rcps3 no more system hang up, many thanks

noob404

rayban79 Download the said drivers from zerobou's post above. And, follow these instructions to install. Make sure you are only removing mesa.

rayban79

noob404 hello I followed the instructions, I could not just rename cd 64 and cd 32, I still continued the procedure and the mesa 22.2 drivers have been installed I think correctly. I have opened both dolphin and ppsspp without any block
ps4 pro cuh-7116b

noob404 I've erroneously deleted also libdrm and xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu, is there a way to reinstall them without having to reinstall the distro?

zerobou

due to the fact that some of the messages disappeared, I add it again
22.2-devel for ps4 pro, for fedora based distro. commits dd24ab86 no ACO regression here yet

zerobou

Hi. Latest news for mesa 22.2 on ps4 pro. From the good, I know the commit that broke ACO support this is it https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/2a004866fb2aee450f9812a50224dc077ba7f53e
From the bad commit contains a lot of changes and I want to understand how to get by with minimal losses when changing it. I would be grateful if someone more understanding can help with this. Because it could take me forever.

noob404

zerobou Wish I had the time, man! I'd have loved to help you out on this. Guys, if anyone else here is willing to help, please co-ordinate with zerobou. What this man is doing is awesome and could mean much better gaming performance in PS4 Linux gaming.

zerobou

also add it here patch 22.2-devel for ps4 pro commits dd24ab86

Piuzero5

zerobou hello I have a ps4 pro, I do have some programming skills but I'm not that familiar with Linux
I've got your idea. Maybe we could still make some experiments on those findings of yours.

Once I installed this patch 22.2, it worked just with 64bits drivers so I tried again with both folders but it corrupted steam (I thought because of the i386 installed drivers). So then everything had got messed up.

Now I'm up to dedicate a little time to the research everyday if possible.

Quilava

Quilava Issue has been resolved by unistalling mesa, libdrm and xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu again and reinstalling from https://github.com/noob404yt/ps4-fedora-drivers

zerobou

Piuzero5 Hi, this patch works for me with a 32-bit mesa, too. I am also continuing research on the launch of the last mesa, but due to lack of time, it is progressing very slowly. Apparently, both problems are the result of the same cause related to the use of the buffer.

Piuzero5

zerobou from my side, installed 64 and 32 bits and my video system got corrupted. So I had to reinstall again fedora.

What procedure did you follow in order to compile the source to get fedora rpm files?

Could you tell us how you've made those findings?

I think with a brief explanation I could start some research.
Now I'm kinda noob with Linux as I said xD

Hi Zerobou,

It's been a while since this thread has gained traction.
I'm intermediate when it comes to Mesa and Linux but I'd be willing to help/cooperate with your efforts for fixing these Mesa drivers for PS4.

Let me know. I'm on the discord channel as well.
