Nice. I should be able to run it Ok (maybe like 30-60 FPS @810p+ with vsync off, medium settings or equivalent) on my Radeon Vega 16, i7 MacBook Pro in my Win 10 VM.
Yeah won’t be able to afford any of those parts any time soon for the next 5 years
@@aydenbeta1380 ong
@@aydenbeta1380 Not sure what you're running. But I'm on a 5800X and I've been poking around RPCS3 the past few days. Using the reommended settings for the following titles.
Gran Turismo 5 - 50-60fps at 1440p. Car dealers and some other things will tank frames to low 30s in some places still.
Gran Turismo 6 - 45-50fps at 1440p. Runs a lot worse for me than GT5.
skate. and Skate 3 - 80 - 120fps at 4K.
Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction - 4k, 50-60fps, some places will happily exceed 60fps.
Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time - much more unstable than Tools, some graphic effects can tank frames hard. Some areas will run close to 60+ at all times, but most locations will have drops to at least 30-40.
MGS4 - 40-60fps usually. I have it uncapped so it can exceed but you're going to have some sections drop.
Overall, rock solid for most of my time playing. Gran Turismo and Ratchet franchise have a lot of issues still, MGS4 obviously still has a ton of issues, it needs hacks/cheats to fix issues to get it running. You'll definitely need at least a 6 core CPU though as quad cores can get seriously bogged down. My old 3600X could still get a really solid 60fps on Skate 3. Enough to play through a good chunk of the goals.
GPU isn't too important, especially if you don't use resolution scale. My 3080 is usually hovering around 50% at most in most of the games I've tried. Usually even lower.
I completed MGS 4 in March on RPCS3 and it was great. This emulator is insane.
amazing
I get random character models missing but once MGS4 is perfectly playable.... then RPCS3 will be perfect :D
So glad its improving, last I tried it (2020ish) it was struggling on rdr. Seems like a good time to go back to it 😎👉👉
What are your specs?
Tell us your specs, bro
RPCS3 has come a long way and I'm proud of them for improving it.
Very impressive! Sony needs to hire these guys to do what they clearly can't (or won't) Awesome!
Yeah... But no! Sony wants to sell remakes. Look how The Last of Us part I got one remaster for the PS4 and a remake for PS5. They would do the same with Infamous. I believe if Uncharted tracks some popularity they might do a remake for the trilogy too.
They better don't, Sony already bought a PSX emulator back in the day, so it wouldn't be available on PC (Connectix Virtual Game Station).
@@ghost085 That's not entirely fair, Sony isn't Nintendo 😉
Although they did act very badly towards Connectix, that was a long time ago and lessons were learned. Sony's licensing of PCSX Rearmed for the PlayStation Classic demonstrates that they are not the hostile bully they were back in the early 2000's.
You can literally now play God of War 3 OTG in Rog Ally during long ride/flight but make sure you have a powerbank and use bypass charge.
Last year, I built a new PC and it's a very high end build (though I didn't upgrade the GPU until April this year). This PC was designed with PS3 emulation in mind. Just about every game I've tested runs phenomenally. Sadly, I can't play some of the WWE games because they get stuck in the loading screen after a match.
Playing Sonic Unleashed and God Of War III on my PC at 60fps is like living the dream.
Agree will be better for sony and game creators to make remakes / remasters of each "classic" game and get more money from it then spending money to provide ps3 game compatybility on ps5. I just got new pc 13900k +4080 and rpcs3 works very good.
From Sonic CD (First Game came for booting) to many 3d ps3 games.
It's always so insane that these are just little side projects for the devs. I love this community.
it's awe inspiring what they've accomplished!
But somehow it would be "Too expensive" for Sony according to the guy in the video.
Holy shit, I remember when I never expected RPCS3 to run games so smoothly at 4k, let alone to support savestates
Savestates are easy, you just dump memory and other state factors and load it back. Its same prinvplevhow PS4 hibernation work. but more complex hardware the more neucences to save is needed to not let game to glitch out on load.
they already were in rpcs3. just one at a time and if you load it you lose it
@@ShadowriverUB It's not the same as hibernation, as hibernate only saves RAM, not the full machine state. The only true implementation of save states on official consoles is Xbox quick resume
The save state feature is indeed surprising, as emulators for newer consoles don't usually have it, but then I guess dumping 256 MB of RAM isn't such a huge deal.
@@elimalinsky7069 There's still another 256MB of VRAM you'd have to dump. Either way it's not about size of RAM/speed of dump, the people who use savestates don't care if it's instant or takes 10 seconds. The real problem is saving and restoring the other parts of the machine gets very, very complex as consoles get newer.
Yep played through the entirety of Demon's Souls with a fairly weak laptop back in 2019. It's really amazing.
Finshed that game abd finished my sanity
How "weak" was your laptop?
@@TheRibbonRed 1050 Ti and a 7700hq
@@bulutcagdas1071 That's surprising. I have an RTX2060 & i7-8750H. Thought I couldn't run anything on RPCS3 with it.
@@TheRibbonRed Demon's Souls is surprisingly easy to emulate. However not all games will be as easy to run. From what I understand, the emulator really likes high core counts with high frequencies.
I was actually interested in your specs. Could you please put them in the description like you mentioned? Thanks.
I know right. No specs to be seen
@@gerboogwouldnt a good CPU be more important in this case? Preferably one with AVX-512.
@@zombiebillcosby People forget what matters is CPU single threaded performance for emulation... and 8 cores when it comes to PS3 emulation specifically. GPU only comes into play when you want to use upscaling features.
@@zombiebillcosby yeah RPCS3 is very heavy on the CPU. You don't really need all that beefy of a GPU to run games on it, but you definitely need a decent CPU.
I don't think you need 8 cores to emulate ps3, a ryzen 4 core should be able to handle it
Love RCPS3. Been using it since back in the beta days. Grown a lot since I started using it.
I've been using it for years now to run the Need For Speed Most Wanted beta builds. It's come a LONG way since then
The emulator is officially still in alpha iirc.
beta days? remind me what it says in the title bar of rpcs3 just after the version number?
Thank you for your service. 😂 Hopefully you donated to the project in those early days, too.
Sony are absolutely stupid for not doing backward compatibility
Don’t forget the specs 😄
🤔🤷🤦
why?
@@TheSpadis My steamdeck can run a good chunk of the rpcs3 library at a near stable 60fps. You should be alright assuming you don't crack everything up to 4k 120fps.
You must be poor to say that.
@@TheSpadis rpcs3 does not need a strong gpu, just a fast cpu. I have an i5-12490F and the las of us runs at 40fps or more most of the times
This emulator is very CPU bound, unlike Xenia Canary which is more GPU bound but im so glad we gave fully functional emulators for all 7th gen consoles.
It runs pretty well on my 6th gen i7 6700hq as well.
rpcs3 have avx-512 which is something that break the limit of traditional cpu, they can do paralleled like in gpu by having more than limited dozen register
@@BastyTHz so why is intel killing avx-512 off?
@@domingorodriguez3077 I believe AVX512 was killed off because the little cores don't have it, the big cores do. But windows scheduling was having issues with giving AVX tasks to little cores in testing and they couldn't resolve it for whatever reason. Also, AVX was a large thermal contributor to an already thermally limited design. I think that made their decision easier. I feel like we will see AVX 512 again in an intel CPU, but it may not be until they work with windows to ensure it's a smooth experience. In contrast, AMD supported AVX 512 for the first time in the 7xxx series CPUS, but it's a weird half AVX 512 where they combine two AVX 256 units in some black magic voodoo technique. But my understanding is that the performance isn't quite as robust as what we saw in the Intel 11 series Rocket Lake parts.
LOL 7th Gen Emus.. Especially RPCS3 will play less than half the titles. About 50% if not more will have severe lag and stuttering issues or other failures. EMU might be operational for 7th Gen consoles.. But fully functional is like 5 years away, at least
please put specs in the desc :D
Kinda of clickbait, you need top of the line hardwire, though I did play ps3 emulator with less hardware and it was fine.
Hey MVG i just wanted to mention that some people made a custom online server for gran turismo 6 and it's crazy to play it again online on real hardware i think it can also be compatible with rpcs3 so that's nice to get 16 people racing clean !
Is it the SRKade server? They have some fighting games there like Tekken
Wait, seriously? What's the name of it?
Do you need CFW to play on the custom servers?
There is someone that made a tutorial on yt but for some reasons i can't post the discord server link here
@@batzertyabc3339 yeah, youtube NUKES every link you can put (idk about youtube links though, those might work?).
I'm delighted to see GT6 running so well on the emulator. With GT Sport and 7 being online-focused, GT6 may be the last Gran Turismo ever to have a full-fledged, flexible career mode. Kaz and his team have since shifted their aspirations to online esports, making Sport and 7's single player modes feel watered down.
not to mention that GT6 has a fairly decent online mode by itself which recently got revived and is fairly active
@@chickerinoradio6617 FOR REAL?! I just jailbroken my PS3 and been playing GT6 for a minute now, do you have more information about the online aspects revival?
Oh that's a shame. I was looking forward to eventually playing 7 for its career mode.
dont forget, GT7 has no leveling at all but instead car collection scores. This means, apart from drop feeding new content and SJW characters sending wall of text e.g. first car you buy monologue by a zoomer who is a car historian in her 20s, GT7 feels nice to drive but awful to navigate, you can not differentiate from player a vs b by looking at their level whether they are skilled drivers or noobs, to sort online lobbies easily.
@@haaxxx9 just google it. There are two or three teams doing their own stuff. PS3 uses some old standards from PS2 which means 1st party games use that for sure, so that depending on luck or bad luck, DNS routes are used to point the console to a community server like PS2 does and less like origina Xbox with it's Insignia Live which just points at one static direction to get all games routed.
Really excited to hear they're making progress. MGS4 is one of the games I (and no doubt many others) am most looking forward seeing them get running. Also hoping to be able to play the PS3 Armored Core titles on this someday. These people are doing something insanely impressive with this emulator.
I played through mgs4 a few months ago
Some visual errors and wasn't butter smooth but it was playable
Ridge Racer 7
I played through Armored Core 4 and now I'm going through For Answer. They run at 60 fps most of the times despite my CPU (i5-8600k, which isn't optimal since it's not an 8 cores CPU). They rarely crash, so it's advised to save every couple of missions.
I couldn't play V since either my CPU can't handle it or it still need work.
@@snakeshepard9761when was the last time you tries AC V? I think there's been an update that improved performance for it
@@nisnast maybe 3 to 4 months ago. But I made peace with the fact that some games can't be emulated on my currest system. I hope I'll be able to upgrade my hardware not too far into the future.
More improvements means more playable games.
no way
@@ninjaskillzyt if you look at its avatar, you can see its not from the smartest end of the quotient.
You comment, but have you tested?
PS3 is such an architecturally wacky machine I'm surprised anyone has gotten emulation past just booting up, very impressive (and staggering amounts of) work.
I have been battling with getting GTA IV to play on rpcs3. I can't find a guide for it. Been wanting to play without the console...
@@Joe_334 perhaps try xbox 360 emulation, if no luck then id just wait, it will happen sooner or later
@@Joe_334you know there’s a pc version right?
@@gozutheDJpc is just as bad. The pc version never got optimized and since it’s old you need a bunch of work to get it running properly
@@shain4636 xbox 360 and Ps3 had a ton of similar titles, minus the exclusives off course. The 360 emulation is miles ahead of the PS3.. Not knocking the devs hard work.. Just saying the emu is more complete. more that 75% of the games run flawlessly. Not the case with RPCS3 I tried 10 random games and all had major issues.. Not fun.. But one day, they will figure it out.
I use a 12100F and 3060 Ti SFF build. It outperforms the PS3 itself and many of the ones under 'Ingame' are surprisingly playable. Also, for anyone wondering about how other specs might stack up, there's an RPCS3 CPU Tier List on the subreddit. It's a Google doc - if you search for it, you'll find it.
Me with a 12600k 🙌 s tier
Post the link if you find it please! I've got a 3060Ti but with a 3900X.....3DS and DS emulators run great on it same with my laptop and its 6900HS and 6700S GPU
@@nateo200 3900X is in the B tier
3700x and old gtx 1060 6gb already runs games better than og hw
I am glad somebody is compiling that list, however, I own two of the CPUs in that list and they are both in the same tier - they do not perform the same.
Whatever benchmark they are using is less multithreaded than Infamous 2.
Can't wait for RPCS3 for Android. It will happen one day, just not today.
Considering how Yuzu (A switch emulator, that would probably preform similarly to RPCS3 on mobile) only runs on the highest end Snapdragon phones, I'd doubt RPCS3 would be any different.
We have ps2 and wii on android so give it like 6 years
@@omegadaboi PS3 games are harder to run than switch games, and considering switch games already run poorly on phones, its gonna be a bad experience
Maybe in 10 years
I love rpcs3. I was playing Shadow of the Colossus at 100 fps. It was such a unique experience
Isn't shadow of the colossus a ps2 game ?
@@leonbelmont4028yes but there’s a ps3 port/remaster, and ps4 remake.
Been using RPCS3 to run Midnight Club: Los Angeles and the various Ratchet and Clank games recently, and it's so great to see these games without the low res limitations. I think Tools of Destruction's visuals still hold up at 4K despite originally rendering at an upscaled 640p. My 5800X seems to struggle with Motorstorm Pacific Rift, but it seems to get a little better with every update. Also, it seems like every time I open up RPCS3 there's a new version to download, so clearly the devs are very active!
Where did u get the midnight club?
@@rolanfbaby I think I bought the PS3 copy of the game from Walmart back in the day. There are copies on Amazon for 15 bucks these days, though. I still have my collection of PS3 disks and I dump them to my computer with an LG WH16NS40 BD drive before loading them into RPCS3.
Man Midnight Club LA is one of the best games I ever played.
(Built a good spec PC to emulate RPCS3)
**Plays GTAV** 💀
The big deal with GT5 and 6 is, like a few other games, it's that they're not available and will never be available anywhere else. They are on ps3 only, no xbox, no PC, no remakes, no sort of backwards compatibility. Locked to this one specific bit of hardware that's hard to emulate and no longer being manufactured.
right but, with 86 some million consoles sold they really arnt hard to find
Thanks for covering RPCS3. Really love and admire these guys. Played Demon's Souls like half a year ago on it, for the first time since playing it on my fat ps3 back in like 2011 or something, and I was stunned at how amazing it performed and looked. These guys deserve all the positive attention and support that they can get.
Gran Turismo 5 and 6 is where I'm at, I'm really pleased to see the progress of this emulator. I'm one of the people who don't want the newer GTS or GT7 games because of online issues, other problems. My next PC I want to buy when I can do, 4k60 or maybe 4k120 in GT5 GT6, I don't mind graphical issues at all, just smoothness of play, probably even 1440p60 would be quite an improvement over original hardware.
Don't hold your breathe, the reason GT games are so hard to emulate, even the PS2 entries, are because of the level of hardware knowledge that Polyphony Digital would exploit to gain as much performance and visual fidelity for their games is insane.
@@levant5378 Yeah not for a while but I would say, eventually enough brute force w/ further optimisations, it should be able to get to a locked 1080p60, who knows when but one day, and if it gets better, it'll be a good time.
GT4 runs great on pcsx2. the problem i have with GT5 on rpcs3, is that it desyncs... otherwise runs great! It's the first GT game with behind the wheel cockpit view cant wait to emulate it without desync issues...
My first experience with RPCS3 back then that made me in awe was ability to play After Burner Climax, then Army of Two, and then Motorsport pacifi rift
Not putting the specs in the description was actually a genius move. It drove up engagement by 100000%
I love RPCS3, it's such a good emulator.
I've noticed going back to games that didn't run well, that they run a lot better now. (8fps-17fps, not playable, but a lot better)
(I need to mess with my settings more, I could probably get better performance)
I managed to get MSG4 to work after a while, need to play it at some point.
Honestly, with how good this emulator is getting with these recent updates, I'd imagine a lot of PS3 games would be playable on a Steam Deck. More demanding ones like MGS4 probably won't run too good, but some might run well.
What are your specs?
Ryzen 7 5800H
RTX 3060
When I last tested it, I had 16gb of RAM, although some games ran the same on 8gb.
@@Treynath84 did you play mgs4 If so how did it run?
Settings are un-optimised, there's probably something I can do to fix performance.
Haven't played much so I can't remember exactly, but I think it was 40-60fps, I could be wrong.
I had to use a patch to get it to work, took a few minutes to figure out how it worked.
It's amazing they were able to keep this going and improve it as far as they have. I loved infamous, and this makes it plausible to play it again without having to buy a PS3.
MGS4 is one of the only MGS games I’ve not completed because my blu ray had a tiny scratch on it and couldn’t play past a cutscene about halfway through the game.
What these people are doing is incredible and significantly better for people like me who want to legally emulate something instead of paying for PS Now or a “remaster” when I already bought the original years ago! Great vid too
I never understood why Sony crosoft and Nintendo (or Sega) would not just go to one of these big dev teams and say :
OK here's a few millions, you take that out of the market, you work for us, you port this officially on the new hardwares
Not only would they remove talented people from emulation scene (let's face it, Nintendo clearly want them off for instance) and they'd get a functional emulator with bells and whistles ready in no time that they can cash upon.
It sounds like a no Brainer to me, especially with the ps3 emulator.. Starting from scratch for Sony would be a waste of time and money at this point
Licensing. These emulators are usually released under a copyleft license like GPL, and are using tons of code from similarly licensed projects, means instead of taking them out of the market, they would even be required to release all future improvements they do under the same license. This could theoretically be circumvented by relicensing it (which would require consent of all contributors) and replacing all code derived from other projects, but it's probably far more easy to just start from scratch and have full control.
It's also something I doubt they want to do
Nintendo for example, how much more money do you think they make by reselling their old games every time they release a new console? If they had some dedicated emulator that all flies out the window because the expectation would be that it'd be multiplatform, at least internally between their own line of consoles
@@Full_Throttle_Axolotl Nintendo HAS emulators for their older hardwares; how do you think the old games they release over and over again run on the Switch? xD The thing is that their in-house emulators are kinda shit compared to free ones, but apparently it's "good enough". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ROI
There's no profit in emulation. Why spend millions you won't get back. Not enough people would buy an emulator to make it worthwhile on new consoles. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft already released stats in in the PS3/360/Wii Era showing that emulator use was insignificant overall after the first year.
So that millions is better spent on new games.
licensing, also it's too much money and resources for not enough profit
This is amazing. There are so many PS3 titles that could benefit from a higher framerate and resolution.
Love this kind of emulation improvement coverage thanks mvg!
Since R&C Rift Apart is coming to PC so I'm familiarizing myself with the series by playing the future games with RPCS3.
Great games, they would be worth porting to modern systems if possible.
Yeah the biggest issue with the future series was and tools wasn't so much the gameplay, (which got worse as they went on), but rather the retconning of the original trilogy and the kiddyfication of the characters and story. Tools is still the best on PS3.
The best ones are Ratchet & Clank 1 and 2 (Going Commando) for the PS2, Deadlocked is interesting too. They can be easily emulated on PCSX2 with widescreen patches too, the HD version on PS3 had a lot of glitches.
The other games were made targeting very young kids only I think. The first one is still enoyable nowadays (it targeted teenagers), the second has an amazing gameplay and it already targeted younger audiences but it was still tollerable. 3 (Up Your Arsenal) is for young kids, Deadlocked is like 2 (target wise) while Tools of Destruction, A Crack in Time and the Remake are for newborn babies unfortunately...
@@levant5378 I far prefer Into the Nexus and Crack in Time over Tools.
I've been using this recently for MGS3 HD and aside from stuttering when new areas/shades caches load, it's been flawless. Probably the best way to play it until the remake comes out
Use the predictive async shader thing under GPU settings. (Can't remember the official name) It'll cut down on stuttering by loading in dummy textures while the real textures load in.
@@Patrick-bn5rp oh sweet, thanks for the advice
@@colonelvector did you try playing the 3ds version on emulator ?
@@Recals maybe at one point but the Ps3 version supports 60fps and higher resolution by default, which I couldn't guarantee with the 3ds version
The Xbox 360 version on Xenia Canary is much better. If you're in an area with water in it the game speed drops to 50% and in areas like Groznij Grad, the bike chase and later areas (The Boss fight included) the game runs very slowly too. And you need to tweak the controls a lot to circumvent the pressure sensitivity, I got a custom layout and I can play pretty well with it, but it's hard to retrain the muscle memory. I had 0 shader compilation stutters (I have an i5-8600k).
On Xenia it runs flawlessly and the controls are better, since you don't have the pressure sensitivity things and they're more similar to the original. The only issues I couldn't fix were the cockpits of the Hind (they weren't see through), a couple of glitches during radio conversations and a cutscenes where Sokolov explains the Shagohod in Groznij and a flickering triangle in the skybox when you fight the Shagohod.
And strangely, both RPCS3 and Xenia have a bugged cutscene: after you kill The Boss there's a cutscene that show the aircraft and only its inside is rendered.
On PCSX2 the game runs very badly from The Fear onwards (and has the same controls issue of RPCS3, if not worse) and even after hours of tweaking it still looks a bit blurry.
Let's hope that the Master Collection comes to PC too, I don't care about the remake. The only gripes I have is that the HD Edition doesn't have the nightmare sequence or the extra stuff (Snake vs. Monkey and secret theater).

@@Threewlz yeah i have an i5-11600k and even before this update I was very surprised at the good/great perf I got in a lot of games. GT5 and 6 in particular already ran either at fullspeed or close to it when other cars were on screen (framerate would only really tank when there was a big grid of cars on-screen at once, like 8-16) but the main issue with them was just that they were super prone to crashing and de-syncing, and in some cases game progression was blocked by some screens being unpassable due to threads hanging (GT5's used car dealership would load, but if you tried to buy a car, the game would hang indefinitely instead of proceeding to the next screen.) They've fixed that bug thankfully but I wonder if it's still gonna crash or not.
It never ceases to amaze me just how far emulation has come since the 90s. The Domain is impressed!
If one considers, that the architecture the PS3 was built around (Cell), is entirely different from x86-64, it's unbelievable how well RPC3 performs. Amazing job the devs did and your video shows it off nicely. Thank you!
I still remember one of the dev hack PS3 back in 2014. So he knew how Cell CPU works and how to emulate it. In 2016, this emulator can play GoW 3 as long as you have 8 core AVX2 back then.
Compare that to Pcsx2, it need 4 years Just to make it running FF10 and Even that, you need to use speedhack to make it playable
It's an incredible and impossible emulator. Hard Corps: Uprising runs at 4k60 on my i7-4790 + rtx 3050. Absolutely phenominal work from the RPCS3 team!
In terms of games that run badly on PS3, the Killzone games, Infamous 2, Lair, and Splinter Cell 3 are some of the games that you should focus on. Shame emulation can't fix MGS4's gameplay lol.
can't believe the rpcs3 developers do this stuff for free... incredible
They're not, They have a Patreon.
@@DeejBruce that's for donations
we don't deserve these people, also makes me so mad that some snot nosed bastards complain about "too slow progress" "my favourite game is not working"...
@@DeejBruce The devs don't charge users up-front to access the software, so it's "free" compared to something like paying for Adobe Creative Suite.
I'm pretty sure the development started before Patreon was even a thing, and has been developed for a long while without donos. So, it's mostly labour of love without compensation.
Id bet money on MGS4 being in whatever comes after the first MGS Volume collection that Konami is working on now.
RCPS3 will always be the most impressive emulator to me. The fact fans can do this is really awesome
Gran Turismo 5 & 6 are not considered some of the very best in the series, not by many at least. Both of them are massively flawed. The best of the Gran Turismo series was the first four games.
Does anyone know if the license would allow Sony to put RCPS3 on the PS5 officially?
They really should help get this project running better and then add it to the PS5 and sell PS3 games on the store. I know they never will but a guy can dream.
@John-gj6geWow, good point. There might be a point in the future when the Xbox can play PS3 games but the PS5 can't.
They could, but if I'm not mistaken RPCS3 is open source so they would have to 1: credit the original emulation team and 2: publish any changes they make to the emulator.
@@Plumtopia I know they'll never do that but that would be a win-win
The license allows it, but I don't think Sony wants to add GPL-2.0-only (which requires fulfilling source code requests for interested users) code into the PlayStation.
@@Plumtopia The 2nd point is not a requirement per se with RPCS3 (as it's licensed with GPL-2.0-only, like Linux). They would just have to grant the source code to interested *users* (not necessarily anyone), fees notwithstanding (yeah they're also allowed to charge a sum of fee if they want to on the grounds of "shipping costs"). They could even make an RPCS3 fork that requires the Sony PS5 security to be intact (if they for some reason wants to do so).
I'm almost convinced rpcs3 developers are sophisticated advanced aliens with AI that makes chatgpt look like tetris.
Progress in emulation always impresses me
And this is definitely a great step
You comment, but have you tested?
I’m glad that the PS3 era was last (hopefully) generation of exotic hardware.
Yeah mate, I got a new Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 3060ti. Been streaming some PS3 on Twitch on the new beast PC, and RPCS3 is reeaally good now.
RPCS3 has a bright future ahead of it, incredibly excited for the future.
Given how PS4 has zero backwards compatibility with PS3 it means a lot of PS3 games will never see the light of day. This emulator will be the only way to play them.
Great video MVG, but sadly no PC specs in the description 😥
there is no pc spec
Impressive considering the challenges.
Infamous 2 was probably the easier game to unlock the frame rate for since it already had an unlocked frame rate on PS3. It didn't hit 60 fps unless you were looking straight up to the sky, but it was there.
Just so people know that might be considering emulation for PS3: Get at the very least a CPU that can run 8 threads. Ideally 8+ physical CPU cores. I had a 9600K (6 core/6 thread) which I tried to run Dragon's Crown (not exactly a system crusher) and it was a stuttery mess, it would run for a minute and then pause and jitter for a bit and then back and forth like that. I installed a 9700K (8 core/8 thread) and it became completely playable with no stutter that I could find. I haven't tried harder titles, but just wanted to showcase this as a reason to get a minimum of 8 threads.
I think that the fact that the Steam Deck with it's 4 core / 8 thread setup can play PS3 actually rather well also highlights this based on reviews I've watched. I'd still personally want at least 8 cores with additional threads being a bonus to run it myself.
Of course, this makes a lot of sense in my mind since the PS3 cpu was a 7 core CPU (it blew my mind when I learned about that leading up to PS3 release. PC's were barely getting dual core, let alone quad core at the time.)
Bless the emulation community.
I finished MGS4 on RPCS3 a couple weeks, I have a good PC, but not exactly beefy.
Ryzen 5 5600g
16GB RAM
RTX 3060
And I managed to get higher frame rates than the PS3 original and run the game at 4K.
Due to the nature of the PS3, RPCS3 is mostly CPU bound, if you want to know if your CPU is good for RPCS3 or want to upgrade to one that is, there is a tier list available, just Google for it, my CPU is considered B-tier and yet it still ran Armored Core 4, Demon's Souls and MGS4 with next to no issues (i had minor graphical glitches in MGS4).
Also, with this CPU you don't need a graphics card at all, there's videos of people playing MGS4 at 1080p and 30 FPS without a graphics card (quite impressive considering the original game ran at 1024x768p and would often drop frames to the low 20s)
Since RPCS3 is mostly CPU bound tho, that frees up your graphics card to upscale the image, I've managed to run all previously mentioned game at 4K/60, the only exception being MGS4 which would dip whenever things got too frantic (but the only dips are when the frame rate would tank on original hardware)
I must be the last man standing. Ps3 console overclocked firmware, fastest ssd, upscalers - mclassic and 4k gamer pro. Better - fps, anti aliasing, depth of field and O YES, its 720p is upscaled to 2160p🥊🥊🍿🙏

You forgot to mention about the fact that Gran Turismo 5 and 6 suffered from random freezes/crashes. Thanks to the stability updates made to the rpcs3 for these games, the random freezes/crashes are finally gone. Now it's the perfect occasion to play endurance races.
Man, I would LOVE to have native support for PS3 games on my PS5. Until then, looks like emulation is the way to go.
This is better than if the emulation had official support
That's why I've left PlayStation on this current gen, I've got a SX. The backwards compatibility on Xbox is far from perfect, but there are so many good titles on it, and plus - I can use my physical games on it. I have almost 200 physical games for PS3 here that I can only use on my PS3, and I expected a full BC from PS5/Sony. What I got: "even you if you have the physical game, you gotta pay the Plus to be able to STREAM a PS3 game, sir". Well, deal breaker for me.
Sony seems to enjoy putting bullet holes in there shoes as much as possible
Yeah the PS3 streaming is awful. Input lag for days.
Wait till you find out about PC and its near infinite compatibility. You'd leave your SX in the dust too.
@@Optim121 I'm considering building a "All in One" Game Console/hand held emulation machine one of these days
@John Smith that's what I have, you get all the emulators and obviously all native releases(which there are ALOT of)
I also really enjoy matching each system with its respective controller, so I'm able to play wii games with a wiimote, ps1/ps2/ps3 with a ds5, snes with a snes controller and so on. It makes it little bit more fun.
RPCS3 performance for ROG Ally would be nice to see.
I'm excited to upgrade to a Ryzen 7800X3D, according to some benchmarks I've seen like on Techpowerup it performs better than any other CPU on RPCS3
I want to know how well it performs on Zen 4 CPU because they have AVX512.
I neve had a PS3 was think about to get one, and decide to give a try to this emulator, sadly my Logitech Wheel is not supported, in the PCSX2 works fine with GT4, they emulate her as old DFGT, but the PS3 emulator only accept wheels that are original supported by the console and through a shady method of flashing a firmware, I hope one Day they find a way to emulate newer steering wheels like the PCSX2.
Just recently replayed killzone 2 on it and it was great, only rare crashes that were not an issue, and very rare graphical glitches that had 0 inpact on the game, the rpcs3 emulator really is trully amazing, i was not expecting it to work so well
PS3 was such a great generation.
I’m starting to feel sad at the increase difficulty to join/expand the experience with this console.
You better be ready to pay top dollar for an official controller or pay a premium to get a disk of an obscure game.
It's amazing how much progress the RPCS3 team has made.
In my country,and this is real facts: RTX 4080 : 1400€
I bought ps3 with 60 original good games in box 200€
Ps 4 with 4 games : 210€
And ps5 with 2 games : 360 €
Three consoles with 65 games and i paid 770 euros .
Almost the half price for one rtx4080 , without extra money for cpu , rams and bla bla .
Sorry but your way is wrong and very expensive.
I'm very interested in your specs. Any chance of them being added to the description?
Yes please!
Bro had i9 and 4080 w/32gb ram
I remember following pcsx2 hoping each update would make FFX run better lol
I always take that playability rate with a big container of salt. Don't get me wrong the work, talent and effort in any of these emulators is extremely impressive!! But the vast majority of those "playable games", would even run on a potato. Often they are simple games that are also ports. Also, there are quite some games that one doesn't need a emulator for and are available on PC natively. All emulators include these in the playability rate, but it says extremely little about what is actually playable from the most interesting stuff.
I completed MGS 4 on a Quad Core at 60 fps most of the times. Idk how better they can make an emulator for a console that developers shat their pants to port games.
i have a 5600x and beat mgs4 just a few days ago. yes there are some crashes and frame drops though the worst frame drops are during cutscenes and overall the framerates are considerably higher than the ps3.. and ps3 was either u had 60 or 30 due to vsync, but rpcs3 you can reliably run at 45 fps (if someone asked me what frames i was getting mgs4 i would say 45 on avg which is a bigger difference than you might guess from 30) not to mention 1440p vs 720 is huge. there are alot of details in the game u coudl not discern at lower frame rates.
mgs4 is imo officially better emulated than on hardware now and i will be doing a big boss no kill playthrough soon (didn't the first time as i didn't know how playable the emulation was yet)
Weird random thought i had....first time i heard about shader compilations was the RPCS3 and now i see it in so many games now days
The PS3 was ahead of its time. I still remember the whacky "Cell Processor" commercials. I just want to play MGS4 without having to stream it whenever Sony says you can I believe it's been available to stream to PS5 twice and each time I played through the game again and I am patiently waiting for them to let me do that again which sucks! It shouldn't be this way......
Can you please make video about YUZU or on android? Or Box64droid maybe?
Pc specs?
RPCS3 is great, I can't believe how smooth Demon's Souls runs just natively. Sure it's not taxing, but it's so solid that it felt like I was playing a PC port that's just locked at 30. I sadly had to use an older version due to the newer versions doesn't seem to run for me...
MGS4 was a gem, and it’d be a shame for it to be stuck on old tech forever.
It'll maybe be apart of the Vol. 2 of the MGS master collection while Vol. 1 has the 1,2,3. They'll just have to cutout the references to PS3 on the game
I know its off topic but , is there gonna be jailbreak for PS4 on 10.01 ... I just go one for cheap , but the mistake has been made , I didn't ask for the firmware version I just bought it ...
As someone who's a huge enthusiast for RPGs and niche Japanese titles, I am thrilled to see the strides being made in RPCS3.
Games like Battle Princess of the Arcadias, Legasista and The Guided Fate Paradox are probably never getting native ports to new platforms, so them not being lost forever is wonderful
Only games I care about for PS3 are God of War 1-3, Dante's Inferno and Call of Duty 3. If I could play those, I'd be super happy.
Tremendous work from the RPCS3 Team! What was once a pipe dream is now a feasible reality!
Okay, I might have to replay Demons Souls
That looks fantastic
Wish they would reverse their stance on a DX12 renderer that was present in earlier builds so a Xbox port could be done. They say they dropped DX12 to be more multi-platform but that's hardly the case when they exclude platforms as a result of the API removal
5:20 - I'll put the specs of my PC in the description.

Erm...You forgot MVG...

It's scam..

I'm interested as to how he got Red Dead Redemption running so smoothly. I updated and booted it up, but it's still running at about 15-20 frames like before the update. If anyone can recommend a configuration it would be much appreciated, I never could find one back in the day
check my PC specs (updated now)
Intel i9-13900k - that rules out most folks unfortunately. Steam HW Survey shows only 3% of players have a 3.7GHZ or above intel CPUs. Maybe in a few years! :(
WOW this is mindblowing.
MGS looks like a 2018 game here, it's crazy!
I might use this Emulator to play the Ratchet and Clank games again!
Red dead redemption can hold 60fps on xenia with your hardware, you might wanna try it
for MGS4 while the new version of rpcs3 does "run" it with the pervasive crashes, but theres a custom build of rpcs3 that will run it with minimal issues.
