Yeah... Sorry about that.
I placed a small note on the crypto commit, but it wasn't really intuitive for users to go check the comments and notice that .rap files need to be placed under the dev_usb000.
I guess I should add this information to the Wiki.

There are only two ways to decrypt a PSN game (with a local license). One is using your console's ACT.DAT and your IDPS to generate a new RIF key (this method is still not implemented in RPCS3, but it's not used very often) and the other is simply using the RAP file that comes with the game PKG to generate the referred key.

Yes. You can use reActPSN and a CFW PS3 to generate a RAP file for your game.

EDAT/SDAT decryption has been improved in the latest revisions.
The most important changes are:
- A new path is now used to load RAP files from (dev_hdd0 /home/00000001/exdata). This is the folder where RAP/RIF files are handled in a PS3, so place your RAP files there from now on.
- File decryption is now automatic. The encrypted EDAT/SDAT file is temporarily decrypted into dev_hdd1/cache and, if the decryption process is successful, the original file is replaced with the decrypted one eliminating the need for a new decryption each time the game is loaded.

gj Hykem! Is someone working on improving the interpreter? i remember reading somewhere that someone is working on a better interpreter. Or was it memory management? I read somewhere that what rpcs now uses is the bare minimum needed and that it will be similar to PPSSPP´s memory management.
