Honami-Animation-System
Honami is a visual, UI-first animation system for Unity 6 that replaces Mecanim with timeline editors, node graphs, and a zero-allocation runtime, letting animators author animations with almost no code.

FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It demonstrates a novel approach to PS5 emulation using a managed language (C#) combined with direct x86-64 execution and a polished, console-like frontend, while openly acknowledging its educational and incomplete nature.
Who it is for
- Emulator developers and low-level systems programmers
- Reverse engineers studying PlayStation 5 software and kernel behavior
- Educators and students learning about emulation and compatability layers
- Hobbyists interested in running PS5 games on Windows for research
Use cases
- Learning how PS5 operating system services can be emulated via HLE in C#
- Experimenting with Vulkan-based graphics pipelines for splash screen presentation
- Testing boot sequences of commercial PS5 games like New Super Lucky's Tale
- Building and contributing to an open-source PS5 emulation project
Strengths
- Direct execution backend bypasses interpretation, achieving near-native CPU performance for guest x86-64 code
- Modern Avalonia UI frontend with dynamic theming, integrated diagnostic console, and fullscreen mode
- Vulkan VideoOut integration successfully renders splash images in early game boot
- Clean separation between the SharpEmu core and a custom HLE layer for maintainability
Considerations
- Purely educational and highly experimental; many kernel services are incomplete leading to frequent crashes
- Only targets Windows x64 and requires a Vulkan-compatible GPU
- Does not include any PS5 firmware or copyrighted assets; users must legally provide their own files
README quick start
craziiEmu An experimental PlayStation 5 compatibility layer and research platform built with C# and .NET.
[!WARNING]
Purely Educational Purpose
craziiEmu is created for purely educational purposes as a way of actively learning low-level code, systems programming, and emulator development. Compatibility is currently limited, many kernel services remain incomplete, and crashes or missing functionality are expected.
[!IMPORTANT]
⚖️ Legal Notice
craziiEmu does not include or distribute:
- PlayStation 5 firmware or Sony proprietary libraries
- Cryptographic keys, game content, or copyrighted assets
Users are strictly responsible for supplying legally obtained files extracted from hardware they own. This project does not support piracy.
Overview
craziiEmu is a frontend and compatibility layer project written entirely in C# using modern .NET.
The core emulation backend is built entirely upon the excellent open-source foundation of the SharpEmu project. craziiEmu extends this powerful core architecture with a highly-polished custom desktop frontend built in Avalonia UI, as well as ongoing High-Level Emulation (HLE) and graphics integration improvements.
Currently, development and compilation natively target Windows x64.
✨ Features
craziiEmu Frontend
The craziiEmu user interface is built independently to provide a console-like experience:
- Modern, Dark-Themed Dashboard: A highly responsive, console-inspired scrolling game library.
- Dynamic Theming: Seamlessly maps native background artwork from your game library, adapting the interface on the fly.
- Integrated Console: A real-time, built-in diagnostic logging terminal for trace monitoring.
- Configurable Settings: Manage graphics, audio, debugging, and comprehensive controller configurations all within the UI.
- Controller Configuration: Interactive custom key mapping and conflict resolution (automatically swaps duplicate bindings to prevent input overlap).
- Fullscreen Experience: The emulator natively defaults to fullscreen mode, seamlessly toggled via
F11.
craziiEmu Emulation Enhancements
In addition to the frontend, this project actively improves upon the core emulation:
- Game Compatibility: Progressing boot sequences for retail game
Description
An experimental PlayStation 5 emulator built in C# — PS5-faithful dashboard UI, native CPU execution, HLE syscall layer, and Vulkan rendering. Based on SharpEmu by par274.
