If you don't mind me further asking, diverting this from the original firmware questioning, why don't the games display anything more than black screens?

I mean, assuming some portions of the emulated GPU exist (how else are the homebrews running?), and at least most opcodes are working right, what is the problem in that department? I mean, at least a title screen, perhaps?

You can HLE the GPU as well, but it will probably cause many issues. But if your goal is to make games playable in any form, what's stopping the team from HLE'ing the GPU?

Also, it might be noteworthy to note that the PCSX2 team originally didn't emulate the firmware, but for the last 6+ years they have once they got it right (PCSX2 can boot the famous "Sony Computer Entertainment" screen and render it correctly).
