5.55's manager is an older design: the kernel hands it the version key
(there's no license probe to replace), and the emulator opens the game
through a manager export that first looks up its license. A converted
PBP has none, so that lookup now returns success, as the MAC checks do.
Store games still need 6.00 or later, so the 5.55 layout only matches
for converted PBPs.
Its code changed too much to map every import by call site, so its NID
aliases are only the ones used here, each checked by its call site (and
the sysreg ones by lowio.prx's code).
The emulator's disc read call is now found by the block size next to
it, which 5.55's pops.prx passes from the other side of the jal: the
same single site as before in every 6.x emulator.
