Overview

Dive into the cutting edge of console emulation with SharpEmu, an ambitious and experimental PlayStation 5 emulator project meticulously crafted from the ground up in C#. Focused on research, education, and understanding system architecture, SharpEmu is pushing the boundaries of what's possible, with its primary development target currently set for Windows.

Key Features

• Core Functionality: Capable of loading eboot.bin and .elf files, executing native CPU instructions, and reading basic game metadata.
• System Module Support: Initial support for loading system modules (prx / sys_module) and partial implementation of kernel functions.
• Advanced Features: Includes exports for Fiber and AMPR, support for PlayGo scenarios, and initial game file loading.
• Graphics Progress: Features early shader/resource submission and initial AGC (Audio Graphics Context) setup, with some games achieving video output.
• Dedicated Research: Specifically targets the PS5 architecture, aiming for accuracy and robust infrastructure setup, distinct from PS4 emulation efforts.

Typical Use Cases

• Academic Research: Ideal for researchers and students interested in reverse engineering, system architecture, and low-level software development.
• Emulator Development: Serves as a valuable reference for developers exploring the complexities of modern console emulation.
• Performance Analysis: Provides a platform for understanding the intricate workings of the PS5's hardware and software.
