RPCS3 v0.0.27 Alpha emulator released

admin

Published a new update for the RPCS3 emulator , the program allows us to run the entire catalog of the PlayStation 3 console on Windows PC, Linux and, recently, also on MacOS.

RPCS3  began 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.

This time the update comes with a big changelog. Since the previous revision there have been  369 changes  documented in  258 commits .

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
