Gamers are now running PS3 games on PS5 through Linux and RPCS3 videocardz.com/newz/gamers-ar…

@VideoCardz > it does not currently support direct playback from original PS3 discs It does as of last week. You still need to provide the decryption key to the emulator yourself though.

The current RPCS3 Core Team was formed mostly in 2016-2017. One decade later - here we are! Who are we? What hardware do we use RPCS3 with Meet the RPCS3 Team! rpcs3.net/about

@AthenaPortly All the reasons you could think of: this is open-source, multiplatform, and actively maintained.

@rpcs3 Any reason to use this over PS3 iso rebuilder?

Want to check if your PS3 disc games are corrupted? pyird by FlexBy is a program for validating PlayStation 3 JB folder game backups using IRD files. It provides detailed file-level integrity verification against the original decrypted game structure. github.com/FlexBy420/pyird

@CyberStudios808 @Dr_Scaphandre A lot of people misreported the details of what happened, and our updates are constantly misreported on. The ArsTechnica article is a good, accurate news article on it. There was no such thing sent to our hosting by any publisher. Furthermore, we never hosted anything in the US.

@rpcs3 @Dr_Scaphandre Didn’t they send a copyright notice to the company hosting your website? Or am I imagining that?

It has been almost a decade since Persona 5 ran in-game on RPCS3 for the very first time. It ran at 0.5 FPS - the attached video is sped up 10x. The physics didn't work at that framerate, so it was impossible to jump to the next platform.

@Dr_Scaphandre We never had any contact with the folks over at Atlus - Atlus USA submitted a removal request for the RPCS3 profile to Patreon in 2017, which Patreon denied, and our page remains up. A lot of people, several RPCS3 developers included, got into Atlus games thanks to RPCS3!

@rpcs3 Remember when Atlus sent a legal notice to you guys about this, and when people got mad Atlus said they had no plans to release Persona 5 on PC? Man, life is funny like that.

RPCS3 is not only about the emulator itself, it also lead to the development of several tools such as VkDiag, useful to all Vulkan-based programs! VkDiag is a Vulkan diagnostics tool by 13xforever to detect and fix potential issues with Windows drivers github.com/13xforever/vkd…

Did you know you can see how many players are online in RPCS3 and which games they're playing? This is thanks to FlexBy, DAGINATSUKO and GalCiv. Check out the RPCN Browser: rpcs3.net/rpcn

Have you ever wondered why there is a NieR:Automata-inspired theme in RPCS3?

Contrary to popular belief, a screen photo from your phone does not tell us any relevant information about whatever issues you might be having. Instead, here's how you can do a correct support request with the relevant, required information: github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/wi…

The emulator is not the only thing getting updates! Our website is always under constant improvements too, thanks to AniLeo and DAGINATSUKO! Some of the latest changes: - Fixed Build History layout issues - Older missing builds now link to our Internet Archive profile

PS3 system libraries cellDmux and cellDmuxPamf, used for reading & demuxing PAMF media streams, have been implemented natively in RPCS3 thanks to capriots. This means these modules are no longer loaded from the PS3 OS libraries, they are loaded from our reimplementation instead.

RPCS3 is now faster and renders better on macOS, thanks to schm1dtmac disabling Game Mode and updating MoltenVK to a 1.4.2 pre-release. - Game Mode was found to negatively impact PS3 emulation performance when enabled. - Latest MoltenVK 1.4.1 and 1.4.0 suffer from 2 regressions.

@RealReloadCoded The difference is that prior to this update, handling those was disabled out of the box. Now approximate mode is enabled by default, same as the denormals approximate handling that has been enabled for many years now. No performance penalty was found in benchmarks from doing so.

@rpcs3 There's been a PPU Vector NaN option for years now, how is this different?

RPCS3 now performs approximate handling of PPU vector NaN results out of the box. This increases CPU accuracy and has been confirmed to fix game-logic issues in several titles, including SOCOM 4, NFL Head Coach 09, and Strider.
