## Useful for

- Recompile a PS2 game ELF into C++ and build a native binary with ps2xRuntime
- Export functions from Ghidra via ExportPS2Functions.java and feed the TOML to ps2xRecomp
- Bind stripped functions to syscall handlers using stubs entries like sceCdRead@0xADDRESS

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 11:04–12:35: 3361 → 3361 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #7, +7 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
