Originally by KDSBest, SPU emulation has been incorporated in my GUI. It was quite easy, we both coded our programs in C# (Sharp) so I didn't really have much trouble.

Self decryption is know possible. Just browse for your self/bin file...

49w ago - Shortly following his previous revision, PlayStation 3 developer KDSBest has updated the PS3 SPU Emulation to version 0.9, which allows x86 PCs to emulate the SPU.

Below are some related updates via Twitter (linked above):

Found the mistake in SPU Emu... -.- FAIL! sf* commands do rb-ra I did ra-rb -.- works perfectly now.

The sp somehow land in code section and overrides destroys code. so i don't update the code while the ls changes. This does the trick hotfix.

New spu emu soon dump function calls and channel access and so on.

SPU Emu v0.9: fixed sf* instructions and bugfixes and callstack functions. Dumps all branches now files get big ^^.

50w ago - While it hasn't been long since his previous release, today PlayStation 3 developer KDSBest has updated the PS3 SPU Emulation Module to version 0.8.1, which allows x86 PCs to emulate the SPU.

New spu emu soon dump function calls and channel access and so on.. btw no spu stuff just optimised code

Crypto function instructions implemented, aim_spu_module runs fine (v0.8).

Thanks to my tester we found a heavy bug which made the aim not run correctly. Fixing it.

I still got a problem with one instruction, the problem is idk what instruction, but aim decrypts the eid0 section fine with spu emu (v0.8.1).

50w ago - Following up on their previous release last week, today KDSBest and crew have updated the PS3 SPU Emulation Module to version 0.8, which allows x86 PCs to emulate the SPU.

To quote via Twitter (linked above):

The aim module runs to the hash check of EID0 which fails, cause I miss the data. SPU Emulation v0.8: gitbrew.org/~KDSBest/SPU%20simulation%20v0.8.rar

Extract the ofw 3.55 and there is the aim_spu_module.self. Make an elf of it. There you go. It's sony code I can't give it to u.

I love Physic Engines and I love the PS3. I guess I will port Box2D to psl1ght ^^

For the news sites: gitbrew.org/~KDSBest/SPU%20simulation%20v0.8.rar ... crypto function instructions implemented, aim_spu_module runs fine.

A tester tested the eid0 partial decryption of aim in anergistuc and in the spu emu. They match. Gj myself
