Yeah, I've been doing the same, but it sucks that it has to be done this way.

Maybeeeee encryption was only done later on the console's lifespan? I doubt that though. At least for 3rd party modules from developers.

There isn't any kind of encryption here.

Thank you! If you're able to tell, what was it like to develop for such a small but important processor?

Previous posts claiming to have reached 50% are incorrect. It was found that the way I was measuring progress was inaccurate, inflating percentage by around 10 to 20 percent. Hopefully that won't repeat again

The decompiled module in particular is in charge of doing background streaming of interleaved audio (and data in special occasions). Quite important! The last remaining module is responsible for playback of sound effects.
On another note, we recently surpassed 50% of progress.

0) Words are 32bit
1) Registers are 128bit 🕵️
At first I thought there was no such instruction because I always saw GCC use the regular load word instruction (`lw`), but it does seem to emit it on special occasions! Specifically on a copy from an unsigned 32bit field to an unsigned 64bit field
