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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Mesa above 21.0 on ps4 pro.

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.

noob404

Zabovis Wish we had you a few months back. Zerobou had to work on this all alone. I was busy with a few other projects. The man himself went commit by commit to sort this out. Can't thank this dude enough.

Zabovis

noob404
Yeah that's quite a task to handle alone.
I will work through this more when I get a chance, as this is a rabbit-hole that is worth further exploration.

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 ?

misfit-mischief

OmaeWaMouShindeiru This particular mesa is for pro models only. Assuming you're on a fedora based distro you could just install the nobara 36 drivers, I think its on mesa 23.

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief Thank you so much man sorry i was sleeping that's why i could'nt answer you

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief Didn't work it says there is conflicts but i already deleted the old drivers and i did it with "--skip-broken" but there there is 22 packages drivers so i don't know what to do i'm on fedora 32 modified by modded warfare ps4 phat aeolia 900

misfit-mischief

OmaeWaMouShindeiru If I remember correctly, I had the same issue when building fedora 37. --skip-broken will not work, try --allowerasing.

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief I hope it works cuz if it doesn't i'm going to have to reinstall the distro but thanks for your help man also do i really have to delete the old drivers or it's ok to leave them ?

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief It did not work it's displaying the same exact message

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

again also do i have to do "sudo yum 'reinstall' *.rpm" or "sudo yum 'install' *.rpm ? sorry for all those stupid questions but i really want to upgrade mesa

misfit-mischief

OmaeWaMouShindeiru I'll download the distro and see if I can figure out the issue.

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief Thx alot for your help man

misfit-mischief

OmaeWaMouShindeiru After trying myself I'm running into errors as well. It probably is possible but more work than it would be worth I think.

OmaeWaMouShindeiru

misfit-mischief Oh okay thanks for the help i think i'm going to switch to your amazing distro

Blackdragon

Hello everyone ! I took a lot of time searching a tutorial on how to make our own drivers for ps4 (mesa, libdrm, xorg) and then apply patches for ps4 Pro ! Can someone have time to help me please ? Is there any tutorial somewhere where I can learn how to do it ?

noob404

Blackdragon Depends on the distro and many other factors including the Mesa version itself. I have generally found that at times, the steps for driver creation are just not straightforward. With each version, you might have to adapt. What worked for one version and one distro might not work for another.

Mag-G

Try asking ChatGPT. I am searching for weeks now. Sorry

Blackdragon

Mag-G What ?! XD It seems like chatGPT is becoming lazy for now XD That AI just answer me nonsense things XD

Blackdragon

noob404 okay I see. Thanks for your answer noob404 ! Looks like that's kind of time consuming doing that.
