YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared two videos, showing Gran Turismo HD Concept and Yakuza: Dead Souls running on the PC thanks to the best PS3 emulator, RPCS3. While emulation is not perfect yet, these two titles can be described as a bit playable at this point.
Going into slightly more details, Gran Turismo HD Concept appears to have some shadow and lighting issues. Reflections also appear a bit weird and the on-screen letters are black (instead of white). However, the game appears to be running smoothly in RPCS3.
On the other hand, Yakuza: Dead Souls has less graphical glitches, however, there are some minor performance issues that can be hopefully resolved in a future build.
Still, and as we’ve already said, it’s extremely cool witnessing all these PS3 games running in RPCS3. The team is making a tremendous progress and we can’t wait to see what it has in store for us in the next couple months.
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
We’ve also added a video showing major improvements in God of War 3, Killzone 3, Uncharted 2, NieR and more.

Noice. I wonder if emulator benefit from more cores like 8-core ryzen chips?
Anyway i’ll probably try to dump some of my ps3 blu-ray discs and see how it works around next week. Maybe Demon’s Souls and MGS4.
Not much due to them focusing on Intel-specific features like TSX. They’ve been getting better recently for Ryzen though.
This is first step for all Yakuza games playable on this emulator.. good job
Keep up the good work I know many people are looking forward to playing some PS3 exclusives. I just want to play Fight Night Champion 😀

Not in a million years. Ill wait for the emulator.
Excellent work guys…great progress! I hope to use RPCS3 at the end-of 2018!
