Great news for all PS3 fans (blasphemyyyyyyyy, how can a PC gaming site talk about PS3 fans, how, HOW, HOOOOOOWWWWW) as RPCS3 is making a lot of progress. Since the launch of a Patreon campaign, its author has been working hard on it and it appears that its latest version can run a couple of games.
As we can see below, Persona 5, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD and Virtua Fighter 5 appear to be almost playable on this latest version of RPCS3.
Naturally, emulation is far from perfect and there are still some performance issues. Still, these three games can actually be played right now (provided your PC is powerful enough to run them).
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Persona 5 you say?
Wow, what has happened in the recent years. These people are amazing.
Patreon is what happened. As soon as the devs go full time, we get great results.
These emulators aren’t paid. The emulators themselves are free. You can donate to the devs themselves on patreon if you so choose. The developer will work regardless but the rpcs3 dev specifically went full time after getting enough from his patreon
Everyone who uses rpcs3 gets the exact same experience regardless of their patreon status.
The rewards offered by nekotikina have no impact on the necessity of the emu. He only gives you “better tech support” and allows you to offer “input on the development”. None of these are part of the emu, they are additional factors. You’re misconstruing rewards with perks.
or dont donate at all and wait a week later to get it.
nintendo’s hardware is what happened, so underwhelming they have to now compete with emulators, same thing will apply to the others in time.
true
@amd_afficionado:disqus And what’s Your proposal? Should dev spend only few hours per week on their projects?
These guys need to feed their families / themselves / pay bills etc. With Patronage now they can do both, get paid doing what they love to do – learn and implement functional hardware emulation.
So just go straight to the point – You’re jealous that they do earn such huge amount of money… that’s basically it. Because of the transparency of patronage system now You know how much these guys do earn … and that’s not much :P. With their skills I would say that they would hit senior position in company and after few month probably lead on project, at that point pay-check of 8-16k / month of your respective local currency is not so exaggeration. I do know guy who do work remotely and do earn 12k monthly and … even thought he could do some open source coding (I mean technically he is capable) he don’t because of lack of free time.
Gran Turismo 6 should be jaw dropping
Thanks for the update on this
I just want a working Xbox emulator so I can play Deathrow and JSRF ! 😀
