What

The changed entry now reads:

sceSaveDataDirNameSearch2 (libSceSaveData.native) runs the same search as sceSaveDataDirNameSearch with the same condition and result structures, as SharpEmu does, its only source; what distinguishes it on the console is unknown. One title (PPSA35669, in a plugin) disassembled for this entry has one call site (0x2eda71); it clears 56 bytes for the result structure first (the size of the structure used here), puts a value returned by a call with the argument 0x8000 at offset 8 and 0x400 at offset 0x10, and afterwards branches on a negative result and reads the 32-bit field at offset 0, skipping its loop when it is 0. That agrees with the result structure of sceSaveDataDirNameSearch. The condition structure was not read.

Changed: docs/dev/debt/libSceSaveData.native.md. No code change.

Method: Ghidra 12.1.4 headless on the unwrapped executable of the title named; the addresses are the call sites in that executable as Ghidra maps it, read from the instruction listing (static reading only, nothing run on a console). The listing and decompiled code are game code and are not attached.

Fixes: #10094

Tested

Documentation only. tools/check_conventions.py --base upstream/main passes; git merge-tree against main is clean. Every number in the sentence was recounted against the instruction listing. Not built, not run, no title run.

Checklist

• Based on current main; no other open PR implements the same functions
• One topic per PR; follow-ups go in a new PR
• No comments in code except technical debt
• Unimplemented paths throw (NotImplemented_nid_no_patch); silent stubs are listed under Silent stubs in their library's technical debt file
• No notes, investigation .md files or images added to the repository (attach them to this PR)
• New third-party code is a submodule built from source
• Generic behaviour, not specific to one title
• Depends on: none
• Fixes libSceSaveData.native debt: note the result structure a title passes to sceSaveDataDirNameSearch2 #10094
• Unblocks: none
• GPUs tested: n/a

Some comparisons could not be completed because a pull request conflicts with the base branch. Review these shared files manually before concluding that there is no overlap.

The documentation change is evidence-bounded and internally consistent. The call site supports the observed result buffer size/layout and count-field use; the entry explicitly says the condition structure was not read and leaves console-specific differences unknown. I checked PR #7780’s same-file change: it adds a separate pending-declarations section, with no line-level overlap in this functional entry. #7780 currently conflicts with main, so combined landing order cannot be confirmed until that PR is refreshed; I do not see a substantive dependency between these two specific edits. In this PR worktree, python3 tools/check_conventions.py --base upstream/main, git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD, and python3 tools/check_main_sync.py all passed (1 ahead/115 behind; merge clean). Hosted eligibility, intake, conventions, and labels checks pass; product build jobs are skipped for this docs-only PR.

Checked the entry against the result structure in core/libs/SceTypes.hpp (56 bytes, dir_names at offset 8, dir_names_num at 0x10), which agrees with the call site described; the entry states what was not read. Conventions green, docs only; merged.
