* '''System Controllers & Security'''

** '''MechaCon:''' A dedicated security microcontroller responsible for console authentication, boot security, optical disc authentication, and coordinating security features such as '''MagicGate''' memory card authentication and KELF decryption. Because portions of its operation rely on proprietary cryptographic material, complete emulation presents unique legal and technical challenges.<ref>https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/4274#issuecomment-795316629</ref><ref>https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/10836#issuecomment-1954866179</ref>

** '''MagicGate:''' Sony's authentication and encryption technology used primarily by PlayStation 2 memory cards. Community projects have implemented varying degrees of MagicGate support, although these generally require user-supplied cryptographic material dumped from original hardware. See the [[#DVD player]] and [[#Arcade hardware variants|Konami Python 2]] sections.

** '''Syscon:''' A dedicated system controller responsible for power management, the real-time clock, thermal monitoring, and coordinating system startup and shutdown. Most commercial software interacts with Syscon only indirectly through the BIOS.
