DuckStation Emulator Operations

Identify the requested build and operation: command construction, emulation, debugging, capture, textures, or source build.

Read [commands and isolation][ref-1] before constructing launches. Options use single hyphens. Use a positional executable for standalone boot: -exe FILE alone loses autoboot in the examined parser.

The command builder prints POSIX shell text without launching. Use --boot for a standalone PS-X executable. Construct disc-plus-override directly.

Use a disposable portable copy and verify its resolved data directory before runtime work. Copy fixtures and saves into that tree. Label guest virtual/physical addresses, file offsets, and host pointers explicitly.

Read [debugging and capture][ref-2] for GDB, PCDrv, checkpoints, and replay. Read [textures and builds][ref-3] for replacements, patches, and compilation.
