The RPCS3 team has announced that all the Ratchet and Clank games that were released exclusively on Playstation 3 can now run on the latest version of RPCS3. RPCS3 is the best Playstation 3 emulator that is currently under development and its incredible progress has really amazed us.
As the team noted, by clamping texture offsets Eladash fixed crashes which made Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction, Into The Nexus, All 4 One, and Full Frontal Assault go in-game for the first time. These games are not playable yet due to major performance issues (and we don’t know whether they can be played from start to finish in this version of RPCS3).
Still, the fact that they can now go in-game and run is incredible. Furtheremore, Ratch & Clank A Crack in Time now progresses past the first level, and vertex data streaming changes – made by kd-11 – fixed issues with HUD and menu graphics in Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty.
In order to showcase these improvements, the RPCS3 team has released a new video that you can find below!

Great!
Great result, just need some optimization.
You can get a PS3 for as low as 50€, and you can install CFW on it with no effort nowadays too.
So I say that is better than trying to emulate it on a PC, but it’s each person choice, I really don’t care where others want to play their PS3 games.
I just find it better to install CFW on a PS3, and be able to play PSX, PS2, PS3 and even PSP in a single machine without worrying about performance, hardware and specific settings like an emulator on PC.
Uhh, yeah, not really the same thing though is it…
No, it’s not the same, as there’s no glitches, performance issues and the games are playable from beginning to end on the PS3.
Not to mention the Online Support, you can even play Destiny. So I say it’s worth those 50€ compared to trying to emulate it on the PC.
sure! u play at 4k with CF 😀
Why would I want to scale low res textures to 4K?
Still makes no sense argue about this, you only worried about resolution while ignoring the rest of the problems.
You can’t even play half of the PS3 catalogue, from beginning to end, without glitches and/or problems.
No to mention the hardware requirements (due to being emulated), compared to running it on the PS3.
So you pretty much avoid answering to what I been saying and go with “PC is just better” with no evidence to back it up.
I’m a PC player myself and I said I don’t care how others want to play their games, but claiming PC can run PS3 games better than a PS3 is being delusional.
PS3 Emulation is far from mature, and even PSX and PS2 emulation have flaws nowadays.
You won’t be able to run the games problem free, nor get proper performance without brute forcing with high-end hardware, while with a PS3 you can play PSX, PS2, PS3 and PSP games with no issues.
God, stop wasting my time.
There’s no checkmate, you sound like a kid who keeps ignoring everything I say.

I really wish the would do a HD remaster of the main quadrilogy from PS3. Tools of Destruction’s 10 year anniversary was last year though. 🙁
