magicgate emulation idea

[dobkun]

first of all, where are the keys stored?
cuz if they are dumplable, we can make this a non-required addition to improve compatibility.
(I am not DEV, but I hope this thread would attract DEVS)

UPDATE: something called Sony Utility Disc Compilation v3 was found.
maybe there is a way the hacker bypassed magic gate(but we won't use this in emulator, only for research)

Refractions is a scaredy-cat, and if you won't believe this, check this pull being rejected: https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/4274
But, the same could be said about BIOS.
so why reject, if you can add MG keys as additional files to improve emulation.

use that code to make your own pcsx2 fork since it's still available

You're right, I am a scaredy cat, and that kind of stance is what keeps the emulator alive, if you wanna poke sony, you go ahead, I'm not doing it.

and the BIOS doesn't require decryption to obtain.
