RPCS3 tracks the compatibility of titles by categorizing them as “Playable” (i.e., runs at a smooth framerate without major glitches or hiccups), “Ingame” (i.e., the game gets past the introduction menu but cannot be finished due to major problems or glitches), “Intro” (i.e., the game boots into the introduction menu but cannot get into gameplay), “Loadable” (i.e., the game boots but stops at a black screen), or “Nothing” (i.e., the game doesn’t load or the emulator crashes upon boot).Īs of yesterday, there are zero titles labeled as “Nothing,” which is a major accomplishment.
Keep in mind that this means every PS3 game merely boots on the emulator it does not mean that every game is playable. The team behind the emulator celebrated a major accomplishment yesterday by announcing that RPCS3 can now boot every PS3 game. The project, which started in 2011, has made major leaps over the past few years in terms of compatibility and support. RPCS3 is arguably the most popular PlayStation 3 emulator (as of press time).
Emulating the PlayStation 3 has been one of the biggest challenges in the emulation world, but a popular PS3 emulator has achieved a major milestone: every single PlayStation 3 title now boots on RPCS3.
