My PS4 emulator ChonkyStation4 can now boot the system menu (VSH)! There is still a lot that doesn't work, launching games doesn't work, trying to enter many menus in the UI causes crashes (for example the notifications). This build is currently private, instructions will be made public alongside the build in the future.

I would also like to clarify that my emulator is 100% human written, so progress might be slow.

Slow progress is preferred.
