    This is all of course a very rudimentary GB emulator, not accurate at all.

    Still gotta emulate a very modern AMD GPU :) Just the shader translation (from GCN -> SPIR-V so it can be passed to the host gfx driver) is quite a challenging task actually. Not t…

    Both games and the firmware are encrypted with several layers of encryption.

    You provide the emulator with decrypted modules/libraries (dumped from a hacked PS4) that originally reside in the encrypted firmware .PUP. I'm associated with PS4 emulation and th…

    Except you don't need to have them _memorized_. You shouldn't. That's not the point.
