Maybe a dumb question but I was wondering this about the RPCS3.
From what I understand from this article
http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SELF_File_F...Decryption
Only the elf header is unencrypted and the actual program data is encrypted.
So in order for any emulator to play a PS3 game it first has to be able to decrypt the program data for which as a first step it has to obtain the erk and riv keys required for decryption of the first part of the metadata which PS3 loaders have.
So my question is how would an PS3 emulator deal with this issue? Isn't owning the keys required for decrypting the self illegal?
