1. A game cloud server, comprising:
one or more processing units that virtually supports different gaming applications according to a gaming operating mode; and
an operating mode selector that is coupled to the one or more processing units, including:
a virtual fusing register that selects the gaming operating mode for executing the different virtually supported gaming applications, and
a security processor that enables, when activated to a secure mode, a secure virtual fusing based on documented security files authorizing selection of the gaming operating mode, separately from executing an operating system of the one or more processing units, wherein the gaming operating mode is a reconfigurable operating mode selectable from at least one signed license file of the documented security files and the security processor is activated to the secure mode by verification of a signature associated with secure signed microcode of the documented security files, wherein the secure mode allows the security processor to access one or more memory locations that are not accessible by the one or more processing units.
