For better game compatibility, real firmware\nmodules (.sprx) can be loaded in LLE mode from the sys_modules/ directory.\n\nModules are loaded by sysmodule_internal.cpp via loadModuleInternal().\nIf a module exists in sys_modules/, it is loaded as LLE. If absent and\nan HLE implementation exists, the emulator falls back to HLE. If neither,\nthe module is stubbed and games needing it may fail.\n\nGame-specific overrides are supported: sys_modules/{CUSA_ID}/ takes\npriority over the global sys_modules/ directory.\n\nSystem fonts are mounted from fonts/font/ (/preinst/common/font on real\nPS4) and fonts/font2/ (/system/common/font2 on real PS4). These are SST\n(Sony Standard Text) typeface files in OTF format. The emulator mounts\nthe directories wholesale, and games load individual fonts by name. Without\nfonts, the emulator warns \"No dumped system fonts, expect missing text\nor instability.\"\n\nAll firmware files are extracted from a real PS4 via FTP:\n- .sprx modules from /system/common/lib/\n- font/ from /preinst/common/font/\n- font2/ from /system/common/font2/\n\nBatocera configgen (shadps4Generator.py) configures display, input, and\nsaves but does not map BIOS/firmware paths. The emulator uses its own\nuser directory for sys_modules/ and fonts/.\n",
