    v0.2.0-alpha.1 - 120 FPS and selectable resolution Pre-release

    v0.2.0-alpha.1 — 120 FPS and selectable resolution

    This release brings the optimized 120 FPS game to GitHub, with three render
    resolutions you can choose in the Video menu.

    New features

    • 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (4K), all targeting 120 FPS. Open Video → Video
      mode      , choose a resolution and select Apply. A fresh configuration
      defaults to 4K; existing supported selections are respected.
    • Saved resolution choice. Applying a mode saves it immediately, so the
      next launch restores your setting even after closing through the shell.
    • Faster 4K gameplay. GPU depth clears, water and brush batching, command
      reuse and presentation overlap address the slow underwater and busy views.
    • Improved frame pacing. Runtime scheduling changes resolve the observed
      60 FPS stalls in the opening and otherwise quiet scenes.
    • Safe renderer restarts. Resolution switches reset the renderer's cached
      objects after graphics teardown, fixing the restart crash found in testing.
    • Updated PS5 OpenGL
      integration      , with the exact frozen SDK, patched runtime sources, dependency
      sources and focused regressions available alongside the game download.

    The top-left FPS overlay, responsive DualSense controls, stereo sound, local
    saves and shell artwork/music remain included.

    Download and install

    Download PPSA99007.zip and its .sha256 file. Verify the checksum, extract
    the ZIP and copy the complete PPSA99007 folder to /data/homebrew/.
    The verified Quake II 3.14 demo is included, with its original notices.
    Back up your saved data before updating. Retail data remains separate.

    Use the extracted folder. FFPFSC downloads remain withdrawn because the
    compressed image failed to start on the tested console.

    The SDK and source archives are for developers; they are not needed to play.

    Why the TV can still show 4K/120 Hz

    The Video menu changes the game's render resolution. HDMI output is managed
    by the console, so lower-resolution frames can be scaled into the same
    4K/120 Hz signal. This is expected. Read the in-game overlay for actual FPS.

    Validation and scope

    • GitHub Actions build: passed for commit 65b2a33.
    • Downloaded ZIP: checksum, all 77 files, native executable integrity,
      complete demo data and original notices verified.
    • Exact CI-built folder tested on PS5: the normal 4K menu measured
      119.88 FPS across 12 steady 120-frame windows.
      Saved settings reloaded, exact-title close and runtime release succeeded,
      and services remained healthy. The console lock was released.
    • validation.json records artifact identities and test scope;
      SHA256SUMS covers the release downloads. The separate manual gameplay
      observations below apply to the tested development candidate.

    The owner reported 120 FPS throughout the tested areas of the optimized 4K
    candidate, including the opening and underwater. An automated test completed
    six resolution switches: steady 120-frame windows measured about 119.9 FPS
    at 1080p and 1440p and 117–120 FPS at 2160p. These are bounded demo-level
    results on one firmware-6.02 PS5, not a guarantee for every scene or console.

    Host regressions cover resolution selection and persistence, renderer
    restarts, lifecycle, rendering, input, audio, save paths and packaging.
    The release validation receipt records the independent Actions build and
    the checks performed on its downloadable ZIP.

    A compatible display and console output configuration are needed for 120 Hz.
    The release remains an alpha: full campaigns, expansions, multiplayer, long
    sessions, suspend/resume and device-loss recovery need separate validation.
    The game-specific runtime has focused checks, not a new full graphics CTS run.

    Quake II was created by id Software. This port builds on Yamagi Quake II;
    the PS5 integration and optimizations are maintained by BlackBearReloaded.
    Upstream and dependency credits remain in the README and third-party notices.
