The entire PlayStation 3 console catalog can now be run within the RPCS3 emulator

The team behind the development of the  RPCS3 emulator let us know that they have reached another important milestone. There is not a single game left that RPCS3  can’t somehow launch.

 

All, absolutely all of the 3233 titles that make up the  PlayStation 3 console library can be emulated on Windows, Linux and MacOS PCs, provided that the system requirements are met.

 

An amazing result. From now on, the team will focus on improving overall performance, as well as fixing graphical bugs and glitches. 

Many of the collaborators have also started making some patches to unlock the framerate and exceed the limit imposed on 30 FPS.

RPCS3 began its development in early 2011 by a small team of programmers led by DH  and  Hykem , currently supports modern DirectX 12, Vulkan and OpenGL renderers.

To date, the development is followed by the developer  Nekotekina  together with other collaborators.

Updates

If you run the emulator in Windows, just drag the updated executable to the root directory of the  RPCS3 folder . New DLLs may be added or changed from time to time, be sure to copy these files as well if necessary.

If instead you run the emulator in Linux, you need to download the updated AppImage  and make it executable with the command  chmod a+x ./rpcs3-*_linux64.AppImage.

Requirements

Since this is an emulator in continuous development, the system requirements may vary from version to version.

However, the minimum system requirements that must be met for the emulator to work properly on any system have been reported.

Minimum Recommended
Processor AMD – 6 cores and 12 threads, 8 cores or more
AMD Zen 2 architecture or newer AMD Threadripper 1000 and 2000 series are not recommended

Intel: 6 cores and 12 threads, 8 cores or more
Intel Skylake architecture or newer

AMD – Any x64
CPUs CPUs without AVX2 and with fewer than 4 cores and 8 threads should perform very poorly overall
CPUs with only 2 cores per CCX cluster should perform very poorly overall

Intel – Any x64
CPUs CPUs without AVX2 and with less than 4 cores and 8 threads should perform very poorly overall

GPUs AMD – Vulkan compatible with active driver support
AMD Polaris architecture, RX 400 series or later

NVIDIA compatible – Vulkan with active driver support
NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, GTX 900 series or later

AMD – Compatible with OpenGL 4.3 or later
AMD Evergreen Architecture, HD 5000 series or later

NVIDIA – Compatible with OpenGL 4.3 or later
NVIDIA Fermi Architecture, GTX 400 series or later

RAM 8GB dual-channel RAM or more Dual-channel
memory is highly recommended over single -channel memory
4GB of RAM or more
4GB is the absolute minimum requirement
Storage SSD storage for emulator data, SSD or HDD storage for games

512MB for base emulator data, 5GB for virtual console dev_hdd1 cache
128MB for emulator cache and console user data per installed game*

* Average recommendation. Some games may require more, most games require less

SSD or HDD storage for emulator data and games

512MB for base emulator data, 5GB for virtual console dev_hdd1 cache
128MB for emulator cache and console user data per installed game*
