## 1. Project Architecture & Core Definition
- **Architecture**: AnyPS5 is NOT a traditional JIT/HLE emulator. It is a PlayStation 5 native binary relinker (ELF relinker + GCN/RDNA shader bytecode translator to SPIR-V) paired with dynamic C++ implementations of PS5 system libraries inside `core/libs/prx`.
- **Exception Mechanism**: When an unhandled state or unimplemented PRX function is encountered, AnyPS5 strictly throws `std::runtime_error`. The `what()` message is printed to `stderr` and the process aborts immediately to protect against memory corruption.
- **Controller & Input Mechanism**: Defaults to the first recognized SDL mapped controller. For custom mappings, AnyPS5 looks for `anyps5-input.ini` in the executable folder or reads the path from the `ANYPS5_INPUT_CONFIG` environment variable.

## 2. Official Upstream Releases vs Counterfeit Warnings
- **Official Repository**: https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5 (36.2k Stars, 435 PRs)
- **Official Latest Release**: v0.1.1 (Release date: 2026-09-28, Commit #d592d54)
- **Official Web Converter (WASM)**: https://boykopovar.github.io/AnyPS5/ (100% browser-local processing, no file upload)
- **MALWARE WARNING**: There is NO official AnyPS5 v0.1.2 or v0.2.0 binary released yet. Rogue GitHub forks (such as `Any-PS5/AnyPS5`) and software download sites claiming "v0.1.2" package Lumma Stealer and Monero background cryptominers.
