Créé par DH & Hykem (et rejoint par un ensemble de développeurs), RPCS3 est un émulateur de Playstation 3 multi-plateformes qui a pour objectif de devenir le plus complet possible. Il faisait principalement office de désassembleur mais pousse à présent la performance jusqu’à exécuter un certains nombres de jeux commerciaux devenant ainsi le premier émulateur de PS3 émulant des jeux du commerce, toutefois il nécessite un PC extrêmement performant.
 
En effet il vous faudra rien de moins qu’un CPU type core i7 @ 4Ghz (voir config minimale requise sur le site officiel), une carte graphique récente type nVidia GTX, de la mémoire haute performance type DDR4/5 ou encore un système d’exploitation récent pour espérer lancer des jeux dans un mode relativement fluide (mais attention cela dépend énormément des builds et des jeux).
 
Plusieurs rendus s’offre à vous: Aucun, OpenGL, DirectX12 (Windows 10 uniquement) et Vulkan (qui a pour but de remplacer à terme OpenGL et ses dérivés en exploitant plus efficacement les architectures informatiques modernes).
 
Au sujet du nom de l’émulateur, il s’agit d’une abréviation et d’une combinaison de Personal Computer (PC) et PlayStation 3 (PS3). PC + PS3 = PCS3.
Que signifie le R? DH et BlackDemon se souviennent qu’il représentait Real car en 2011, il n’y avait que de faux émulateurs de Ps3. Puis, à un moment donné, DH (originaire d’Ukraine) a commencé à dire que le R représentait le mot Russe. De plus, Nekotekina, qui a rejoint l’équipe fin 2013 et qui est rapidement devenu l’un des plus grands développeurs de cet émulateur, est originaire de Russie. Du coup RPCS3 signifie à présent Russian Personal Computer Station 3.
 

 
Cette version (qui n’est pas à considérer comme stable) qu’on nommera « point de repère » (landmarks) dans le sens ou elle est officiellement publiée sur le site officiel (ce qui change des builds régulier dit « WIP » ou « GIT »), n’est disponible que pour les processeurs 64 bits. Pas de changelog malheureusement.

Cet émulateur est également le plus complet des outils de développements X68000 existant aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’un fork de l’émulateur XM6 v2.05 de PI avec une pléthore de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Les changements sont pour la plupart liés à l’interface utilisateur et un accent a été mis sur le développement et les fonctions de débogage plutôt que sur l’exactitude de l’émulation, cependant il y a suffisamment d’améliorations pour qu’il soit recommandé d’utiliser cette version plutôt que XM6 v2.06 finale.
 


 
Les changements:
 
– Frame skipping is no longer performed. It was not well implemented and hardly anyone knew how to configure it. Consequently, the animation is now smoother for most people.
– The MBCS edition still skips frames, so that option remains if your computer is extremely slow.
– Furthermore, the previous version will remain available on the website indefinitely, albeit for unrelated reasons.

Il s’agit du meilleur émulateur de PlayStation One, devant ePSXe et pSX.
 

 
Caractéristiques:
– CPU Recompiler/JIT (x86-64, armv7/AArch32, AArch64, RISC-V/RV64).
– Hardware (D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal) and software rendering.
– Upscaling, texture filtering, and true colour (24-bit) in hardware renderers.
– PGXP for geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation.
– Adaptive downsampling filter.
– Post processing shader chains (GLSL and experimental Reshade FX).
– « Fast boot » for skipping BIOS splash/intro.
– Save state support.
– Windows, Linux, macOS support.
– Supports bin/cue images, raw bin/img files, MAME CHD, single-track ECM, MDS/MDF, and unencrypted PBP formats.
– Direct booting of homebrew executables.
– Direct loading of Portable Sound Format (psf) files.
– Digital and analog controllers for input (rumble is forwarded to host).
– Namco GunCon lightgun support (simulated with mouse).
– NeGcon support.
– Qt and « Big Picture » UI.
– Automatic updates with preview and latest channels.
– Automatic content scanning – game titles/hashes are provided by redump.org.
– Optional automatic switching of memory cards for each game.
– Supports loading cheats from existing lists.
– Memory card editor and save importer.
– Emulated CPU overclocking.
– Integrated and remote debugging.
– Multitap controllers (up to 8 devices).
– RetroAchievements.
– Automatic loading/applying of PPF patches.
 
Configuration requise:
– Windows 10/11 (7/8/8.1 here), Linux (AppImage/Flatpak), macOS.
– A CPU faster than a potato. But it needs to be x86_64, AArch32/armv7, AArch64/ARMv8, or RISC-V/RV64.
– For the hardware renderers, a GPU capable of OpenGL 3.1/OpenGL ES 3.1/Direct3D 11 Feature Level 10.0 (or Vulkan 1.0) and above. So, basically anything made in the last 10 years or so.
– SDL, XInput or DInput compatible game controller (e.g. XB360/XBOne/XBSeries). DualShock 3 users on Windows will need to install the official DualShock 3 drivers included as part of PlayStation Now.
