    Question - do you think i should upgrade from a r7 1700x? Im using an older build and my board is AM4. I do have a 5950x that i could use but its in my gaming PC and if i do take it out and put it in my emulation pc id have to go upgrade my gaming pc also which means new AM5 cpu, new board, new ram (which i was planning on waiting to do until RTX 5090 goes on sale)
    So what do you recommend if you were in my shoes?

    • @Igor.L
      @Igor.L  2 місяці тому

      yeah absolutely, the 1700x is considered C tier on this emulator so performance will be really bad (it might not even open games at all)
      The R9 5950x is a great CPU for it, A-Tier just like my 5800x, check this CPU tier list docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rpq_2D4Rf3g6O-x2R1fwTSKWvJH7X63kExsVxHnT2Mc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

    Unless it ONLY works on Vulcan, is there any reason why RPCS3 wouldn't work on Series X in DEV mode if they made a UWP executable?
    Direct X would obviously work, and now there's an Open GL wrapper there doesn't seem like any reason, apart from the whole 'not having a UWP executable yet' that it wouldn't work.
    Maybe not upscaling to 4K or anything, but at native res it SHOULD work right?

      Double click the iso file, it will mount the game files you need
      Or you can extract the iso with WinRAR or 7zip

    I updated my rpcs3 and now no matter what, even when I reinstall it, it won’t even run and says application error 0x0000142 or something like that, what do I do? I even tried reinstalling my gpu drivers and following tutorials on UA-cam

    My laptop is msi thin 15 i5 13 gen. Can I play ps3 games at 60fps? I just bought it last week & I don't know anything about laptop, PC.... My friends keep saying that playing emulators will ruin my laptop CPU. I bought it for school so I'm afraid it'll break. Please give me some advice sorry about my bad grammar thanks❤

      Yeah that's a good CPU so you should be able to play most games
