RPCS3 v0.03 Alpha Released
RPCS3 is an open source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger written in C++ for Windows and Linux. The project began development on May 23rd, 2011 and currently supports modern Vulkan, Direct3D 12 and OpenGL graphic APIs. The emulator is capable of booting and playing hundreds of commercial games. With each and every contribution and donation, more and more games are becoming closer and closer to either booting or full playability.
If you want to run this emulator, here are the minimum requirements:
Windows 7 64-bit or greater/Linux 64-bit.
A modern x64 processor with SSSE3 support.
A GPU that supports OpenGL 4.3 or greater.
Minimum: 4GB of RAM. Recommended: 8GB of RAM or greater.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable.
Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime.
PlayStation 3 PS3UPDAT.PUP system software file.

That thing probably takes a monster of a computer to run.

Remember, you must have a system that’s at least somewhat beefy in order to get anything working at decent speeds. You should also have the latest video drivers for the best Vulkan support (or to avoid a BSOD – my drivers were a tad too old and RPCS3 crashed the system when I opened the executable). You also have to remember that RPCS3 isn’t a tool to enable piracy so try to dump your own games either via a supported Blu-Ray drive or a PS3 on CFW.
A few days ago, I decided to give RPCS3 a go on the laptop I’m currently using and it left me with my mouth open! I could actually play Project Diva F @ 720p with only little stutter, which thankfully wasn’t enough to render the game non-enjoyable (on most songs at least). The relevant specs of my laptop are:
Core i5-3230M @ 2.6GHz (dual-core + HT enabled)
8GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Radeon HD 8750M
As you can see, it’s not some state-of-the-art latest gaming laptop so that means that RPCS3 can be used on mid-range systems from a few years back with varying rates of success depending on what you’re playing! Thanks to various optimizations, you will be able to run some PS3 games, even exclusives, on your computer depending on how powerful it is.The Hackmaster
