FakeCamera is a HENkaku plugin that fakes invalid camera calls in order to avoid some crashes for some titles on PlayStation TV.
Of course, those titles have been blocked by Sony and you must previously unlock them in order to launch them. Use an application like AntiBlackList (from Rinnegatamante).
Once titles are unlocked, they could crash due unexpected SceCamera API answers (because they were never conceived to run on a device without camera). This is where this plugin could intervene to "simulate" expected answers and, therefore, avoid some crashes.
Installation
Dependencies
The version 1.1 introduces the possibility to load a BMP file into camera output buffer (even in games which properly worked without the plugin). This feature has a dependency on DSMotion.
On some rare games, the access to ux0:data/ is not allowed so kernel file access calls must be used. So, version 1.2 introduces those game support but with an additional dependency on KUIO plugin (from Rinnegatamante).
Plugin dependencies:
- fakecamera.suprx doesn't have any dependency.
- fakecamerabmp.suprx depends on additional plugin dsmotion.skprx for image scrolling with motion controls.
- fakecamerakbmp.suprx depends on additional plugins dsmotion.skprx and also kuio.skprx for file system access with kernel privilege.
Those dependencies must be loaded otherwise fakecamerabmp.suprx or fakecamerakbmp.suprx won't load.
How to install
For each title which crashes when it should activate the camera, you can add those lines in ux0:tai/config.txt
*TITLEID00 ux0:tai/fakecamera.suprx
OR (even if the title doesn't crash, it will allow you to set up a BMP image as camera output)
*KERNEL ux0:tai/dsmotion.skprx *TITLEID00 ux0:tai/fakecamerabmp.suprx
OR (if the BMP file loading doesn't work with normal rights)
*KERNEL ux0:tai/dsmotion.skprx ux0:tai/kuio.skprx *TITLEID00 ux0:tai/fakecamerakbmp.suprx
Replace TITLEID00 by your title identifier or by *ALL to affect all titles.
Note: Do not use fakecamera.suprx, fakecamerabmp.suprx or fakecamerakbmp.suprx on the same configuration.
BMP feature
With fakecamerabmp.suprx or fakecamerakbmp.suprx plugin, a BMP file image can be loaded and used as camera output. Images must be placed in ux0:data/FakeCamera directory. An image is selected in this directory with the following priority:
- ux0:data/FakeCamera/TITLEID00_Front.bmp or ux0:data/FakeCamera/TITLEID00_Back.bmp (depends on front or back camera use).
- ux0:data/FakeCamera/TITLEID00.bmp.
- ux0:data/FakeCamera/ALL_Front.bmp or ux0:data/FakeCamera/ALL_Back.bmp (depends on front or back camera use).
- ux0:data/FakeCamera/ALL.bmp.
