RPCS3 has replaced cellSysmodule with its own HLE implementation. Users must still install Sony’s PS3 firmware, but another proprietary dependency is gone.

RPCS3 developers say the PlayStation 3 emulator may eventually run games without requiring users to install Sony’s PS3 system software. The project has now replaced another firmware component, called cellSysmodule, with code implemented directly in RPCS3.

    If I’m interpreting it right, cellSysmodule would be like a middleman for loading Windows’ DLLs or Linux’s dependencies. Or more directly, comparing to the PS Vita’s HENkaku, it’d be like the config.txt file for loading plugins.
