02Entries
System software PUP defines the official firmware file: what it is, where it comes from, and how Meridian verifies it.
RDNA2 and SPIR-V defines the GPU translation vocabulary: console architecture in, Vulkan pipelines out.
Both entries assume the free build from Download Meridian and owned dumps — own your library, 400+ titles indexed.
03Convention
- PUP always means Sony's official PS5UPDATE.PUP. Patched or partial files are not PUPs in this docs set.
- SPIR-V always means compiled Vulkan pipelines in Meridian's per-title cache.
- Stable, Beta, Test always mean Status definitions — never colloquial stability.
04Questions
Q.01Why does Meridian define so few terms?
Few terms carry the whole docs set. Defining two precisely beats glossing twenty loosely.
Q.02Where are Stable/Beta/Test defined?
In Status definitions, cited — not duplicated — from here.
Q.03Can a PUP be modified?
Not for Meridian. Verification rejects anything but the official file — see the PUP entry.
