Good day guys!! Austin here and in this one today we are playing PlayStation 3 games
on our PC... yep there is an emulator is named RPCS3 we've covered it quite a
few times on this channel but today I'm gonna take you from start to finish
playing not just the games but we're gonna be enhancing them we're gonna be
pushing to the limit we're gonna be playing this to the maximum
configuration that these games have ever seen
4k maximum frame rate maximum enhancements maximum everything
Maximus Maximus that's what we're doing today so without further ado let's get
stuck in
so before we start getting stuck into this then I do need to give out a Gypsys
warning otherwise I know they'll be tantrums and tears this is a pretty
cutting-edge emulator is pretty damn new in the grand scheme of things and the
enhancements and the progress that this is making means that you do need a
pretty good computer for this to run it doesn't have to be a rocket ship of a PC
it just needs to be up to a certain kind of standard I'm talking about I 5 and
above I'm talking about possibly AMD Ryzen if you've got it
that works like a dream I'll put all the specifications on the screen so you can
see minimum and recommended and I would say that even though it does demand a
lot it's pretty easy to put together a PC that suits this kind of makeup and
emulators in general pretty soon on the channel I'll be making a build it should
come up to about three hundred US dollars complete PC build that would be
suited for these kind of emulators and also for PC gaming oh so a certain kinda
standard obviously it's three hundred books in hooker again blistering
technology for that but hopefully that should dry some eyes and should put some
of this to rest as progress obviously develops with the emulator those
requirements will come down and down as performance increases compatibility
increases that's the journey of an emulator there is no good emulator
straight out the box it takes a long time to progress through that stage so
enjoy the journey enjoy this video and at least by the end of it you will know
exactly what your PC can do what this emulator can do and the hope for the
future so let's do this okay so the first thing that we're gonna do is
actually get the emulator itself set up and ready to rumble so links in
description down below it will guide you to this website here which is the
official RPC s3 emulator website now to be honest it's not nothing related but
it is probably one of the best websites I've seen for an emulator it is looking
good and there is so much information on it the Peru
at your own leisure now there is links to the progress site which is basically
what they've been doing and what they want to do for future plans as a link to
their discord it's got a healthy community around it people helping out
all that kind of stuff and also there's a link to their github where you can
have a look at a code you can get involved if you're that way inclined and
well it's open source anybody can get a bug into anything so what we're going to
do is actually get this downloaded know at the top of the page there is some
various tabs guides different sections we're gonna focus on download however on
the splash page there is normally a big download link which is the most recent
version so I'm gonna click on that which will guide me to this now at the top
normally you've got the most up-to-date version this emulator is pretty much
developed on a daily basis sometimes more sometimes it is a day it all
depends on who's been working on what and what kind of breakthroughs they've
been making now it is best choice to use the most up-to-date version that's
normal the one that's got the most breakthroughs the most compatible and
more times I would say the best performance so click on the link here it
will download the most recent version as we can see it doesn't take long it's a
7-zip format file which means that you should be using 7-zip to extract it so
because I've already got 7-zip installed on my PC if I always click on this it
will open up the window as you can see here so this is that your emulator
within the compressed file so what I want to do is extract this to wherever
it is that I want to put this emulator so for this example today I'm gonna put
on my desktop beaker as well it's a demo so I get to show it to you guys
RP cs3 so I'm going to label it and also going to put it as demo so I know which
version of the simulator it is that I'm working on and then I'm going to
highlight all these files and I'm simply going to drag it into that fold that I
just created on my desktop or wherever it is that you put it on your PC once
that's done then exit out of there we can now see all these files in all their
glory within the actual folder next what we need to do is get it so well if the
emulator works now this emulator uses what used to be called like the BIOS
files so in the word systems are consoles they would
have an operating system on the console itself this enables it to work well
obviously so the system actually works and also gives it access to actually
boot games and get them working properly taking assets from the actual software
that's on the system itself so our PC s3 is no different
but luckily instead of having to dump them from the consoles or to get them
from buggy websites online you can actually get it from the official Sony
website so again the links in description down below it will guide you
to this website here which is the official Sony PlayStation 3 system
software this is the firmware which basically is on your PlayStation 3 or
where go do is put this on to the emulator so it acts the same way to get
our game to work in simple case download update however this is quite large my
internet is shocking so I'm not gonna make you sit through here while I
download I'm just a bit cancel exit out of there and as we can see if already
got downloaded to my desktop now to get this installed first off what we're
gonna need to do is launch the emulator now as you see we've got various
different files and folders already here once I launch this it's got to make more
files and folders as it embeds itself on our system it's gonna make configuration
files it's gonna make folders for things to go in and it's going to set up a
profile that we are going to be putting in for it well have a configuration so
double-click it first for you go see is a little pop-up saying blahdy blahdy
blah and to get started you must install the PlayStation 3 firmware we've just
downloaded that i'ma go do it now please refer to the QuickStart guide I'll show
you that in just a second founded in the official website for
further information if you have any further questions please refer to the
frequent ask questions again look over that in just a second and they've also
got support on their forums and discord once that's all that done click on I've
read it don't show me again because it's a pain in the ass popping up every time
and then click continue now be the last you see of that now what we need to do
is get our firmware actually on the emulator so it's a simple case of
clicking on file install firmware and now what we can do is go to our
desktop or wherever is you downloaded it to find the ps3 update pup that's the
file that we just downloaded and it will now install itself onto the emulator now
this emulator needs to change the way that games and software is rendered
through the emulator to put this into layman's terms it's kind of changes in
the language so the emulator knows helps to interpret games and software so what
it'll do is it will do it automatically or be aware that this will happen so
once I click OK as we can see is now compiling ppyou modules don't worry
about this it may go slower or faster depending on what kind of system you run
in the more cause you've got it well really starts to speed this all look but
be aware that this will happen when you install new software such as games and
all that kind of stuff and you launch them for the first time this will all be
done automatically but it can be a pain in the ass if you've got big games
because the first time we launched them you gotta get that once it's done then
that is it that's the last you'll see of it so you can delete your pup file
whatever it is you downloaded it the emulator is now already and if you wish
to minimize this as we can see it's now made all those files and folders that I
was talking about and embedded itself on our system next thing we're going to do
is get our controllers working so in the configuration tab here you should have
one called pads click on that and as we can see opens up and we've got gamepad
settings for up to seven players depending on what kind of controllers
you've got all that kind of stuff you can do different configurations tests
and play around at your own leisure but for us we're just getting a controller
setup so you know how this works now controller wise you can pretty much play
any controller with this emulator I haven't tested all the ones in the world
but pretty much every controller I've thrown at this where it just be a
generic bluetooth Xbox 1s PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 they all work as long as
they're already compatible with your Windows PCs or in other words you've got
whatever firmware is needed to get the actual joystick to
show up in Windows once all that's done then I'm using an Xbox one s Pub they're
just good to go out of the box so I just need to configure it so first thing we
need to do is certain the agile paddle so that's me bow ended up next thing
what I want to do is to tell it what kind of want to use so for me using an
Xbox one s pad I'm going to use X input it will automatically assign a Pat
number it goes in basically whatever sequence you plugged in your putts so
for me the first one that I plugged in would leave it zero so no leave that as
it is leave it as default profile next what I do is get the configuration now
at this point depending on what pads you put in there it may differ from the kind
of configuration what is on the screen so sick time go for all these beep add
up left right down and then just go through them all
and then once you've done all that you should get down to this section here
which is analog dead zones for those of you who are unaware what this kind of
thing is as you move your actual analog stick you can see a little blue thing
that is mimicking the movement of your stick on the screen this little red zone
here is your dead zone so any kind of interaction that is moved within that
dead zone will not be registered through the
emulator itself only when you go past that red zone now that's great because
it means that if your sticks are not dead Central when the idling means that
your player doesn't slowly start walking around and all that kind of good stuff
but you don't want it too big because then you would have to move your stick
all the way to the left or right to get actual movement from your place so a
good idea is to simply do the radius of this red circle so it's close but not
touching it so you've still got a bit of leeway a buffer zone in case your stick
doesn't naturally go back to its center position all the time and the same thing
with the other once I stun then click save and that's your controller set up
obviously did this for your various different players depending on what
control you've got going on and once that's done click OK and that will now
embed itself controller wise onto your system and you're now pretty much ready
to rumble with the games now when you're getting your games working this is going
to be the most complicated side of all this I think because there is so many
different ways of putting them into your emulator there's so many different
formats of games to actually get them working and they can come in all
different shapes sizes formats Orca and the stuff so it can get a little bit
confusing so bear with me here first off I'm going to show you is the most
simplest and the most common version of games and how they come to you these are
the more disk based systems so these are blu-rays obviously that you would put
into your Playstation 3 and then you would just play the game
however certain games need installing onto hard drives
certain games need all kinds of settings going on and we'll cover that in just a
second but Gypsys warning to you all this is the RP cs3 emulator as we talked
about these guys do not condone any kind of piracy
don't any kind of game share in anything like that that could be the legitimize
the actual process of making this emulator now I do know it's 2018 it's a
big wide world out there there is games that you can download off the internet
all that kind of stuff I'm not gonna cover all that stuff in this video it's
up to you to go around them houses I will not judge anybody doing it however
you want I travel this world I've seen many places and I know that in some
areas in this world you cannot simply just go down to the shop and actually
just buy a game now for the games myself and how I get them is from my official
PlayStation 3 my actual console I picked this up secondhand I've put a custom
firmware onto it I'll put links to a channel in the description down below
he's great at this kind of stuff putting custom firmware on this kind of thing
and it pretty much transforms your playstation 3 it means that whenever you
put a PlayStation 3 game into your console you've got the option to
actually play the game or you can just copy it to an external hard drive that's
plugged into your PlayStation 3 so you can have your entire catalog dumped onto
your hard drive so you never need to open cases you've got all games ready to
rumble they're already pre-installed onto the hard drive there's no messing
around it's just click and play the great thing is if you've done that then
you can basically take out your hard drive from your PlayStation 3 bring it
to your PC plug it in and it's completely compatible with your emulator
also so you get the best of both worlds but again you can obviously go onto the
internet and do whatever it is that people do now
most games will come in that this format so here is my drive that I've dumped and
these are all my games now there is different codes as you can see in front
of the games these codes basically tell you what kind of format you will likely
find from dumping them or however it is that you get your games when you go in
there as you can see even normally got a ps3 game ps3 update and some other files
and stuff to go along their lines now this looks pretty intimidating
because there's a lot of stuff going on but you can actually import them into
the emulator files themself pain in the ass
don't bother with that kind of stuff simplest way to do it is every is former
you've got highlight whatever games you want to actually bring into your
emulator drag them over and it should now populate your emulator give it a few
seconds there's quite a lot games there and there we go so as you can see now in
the emulator itself I've got all my games that I had from my hard drive now
accessible from the same hard drive it's not moved anywhere any of the games into
the installation folder of the emulator they're still on that drive which is the
way that I want to keep it and I would encourage you guys to do the same some
of these games are absolutely massive ranging from anywhere between a few
Meg's all the way up to about 50 gigs they come on blu-rays which means that
there's quite a lot of storage in there and some of these games really do take
advantage of that times that by the amount of games that you've actually got
in your collection and then you've got quite a lot of hard drive space being
utilized just from the games alone then the emulator itself the reason why I
don't like to put these together is because the emulator does in fact become
quite large also some of the games that we'll cover in just a second actually
install themselves onto the hard drive of the PlayStation 3 so the easiest way
to do that would be to install them into the actual emulator itself again we'll
cover this in just a second but just bird that all this in mind when you're
actually locating your emulator and your games on your PC you may come into
storage issues later down the line so now we've got the game set up now we've
got the emulator embedded we're now ready to rock let's first off make sure
our games are ready to rumble but the settings at the top here you've
got a little tab click on it is configuration this will open within the
settings and here is everything that will basically put all settings for all
games this is your default setup now now keep everything at default at this stage
there's no need to change anything on this tab especially because the
developers have made everything that is more compatible with the majority of the
games as default so keep all this bear in mind if you scroll over each one it
will give you a translation as to what each one of these settings do in the
description down below but we want to concentrate on the GPU tab this will
open up this and here is where things do start making
an impact quite heavily so first off renderer you've basically got two
options you've got OpenGL and you got Vulcan OpenGL is the most compatible and
is the most sensible option if you want to basically play the games as they were
on the system however OpenGL is slow at texture caching so as you play through
the game for the first time you will end up with quite a lot of stutters and
halting and it's not a pleasant experience
however if you overcome that you battle on through you will notice that it will
happen less frequently until it comes to the stage where you get none of that
happening at all however that is per game so you do have to play through each
game at least a little bit to get it over to a stable kind of standard OpenGL
albeit very good at rendering all the graphics and making the magic it's very
slow at doing that on the other side we've got Vulcan this is very quick at
doing that shade of caching it will still happen but it is much faster than
the OpenGL version the issue that we've got here is that Vulcan isn't as
accurate as OpenGL when rendering the graphics for some game shall we say an
Aki down to OpenGL but for now has changed to Vulcan all the rest of the
stuff should be kept kind of at normal at this rate you don't anyone messing
around because we want to make sure the actual emulator is working them because
that ramping it up so rest of the settings standard standard standard make
sure that your console languages it's English now that makes them just
different sort of things that ever done anything to me
network emulator yep no need to messing around there will be differences here
depending on what kind of system you're running I've got 12
well 6 cores 12 threads on my CPU so I've got 12 here but you guys may differ
as pending on what system you're running from so once all that's done then click
Save and that will now set up all the games as that as default so if I don't
change make any changes to any game that's how they will run as standard so
at this stage what I want to do is actually test again so let's load up
some that's playable so we'll go for
castlevania lords of shadow to double-click it it will load up this as
we talked about before with the firmware installation it's just basically the
emulator translating the game into a language which the emulator can
understand it will only open the first time you load each game and then from
that day forth if you loved it up again it will go straight into the game
without any of this ok so now we're in let's make the screen bigger and here we
go we're booting in at this stage you won't have this overlay on the screen
this is me to aid me for making sure my well systems working to the utmost and
the games are working it's just specs of my system running whilst it's being
emulated so let's skip through all this and get into the actual game
okay so now we're in game and as you can see it's running pretty damn well
bottom left-hand corner you can see compiling shaders coming up and down all
the time this will happen the first time you
launch each game some games will be affected more than others depending on
how many shaders it needs to load and store and if you've played it before and
all that kind of stuff but once you've played through for the first few minutes
it will stable itself out and become pretty damn stable page exit out of here
now let's ramp this up a little bit so going to right-click on the game that
you want to do go into configure now what we can do is by doing it this way
it will change only the settings for this game so if you've got problematic
games you can do the old compatibility check see what settings people are
working for those and mimic those settings in your settings here obviously
depending on what game is running will dictate what kind of settings you want
to be changing but again leave most things to standard the only things that
some games do like is some the SPU threads they like this to be brought
down maybe it's a two or three again it depends on the game many of them won't
be affected by this kind of thing it's up to you guys also some people with
lesser computers are lesser cause you can do this lower SPU thread priority
what this will do is kind of tailor the way the game runs so utilizing lesser
calls but more grunted on each core so again it will work with some games may
not work with others it's just kind of ideas and experience that I picked up
from playing with this emulator next stage then is the GPU so as we're
running through these games what you want to be doing is obviously playing at
the best experience possible a good thing about this emulator is that you
can pump up the resolution and as long you've got a half-decent
graphics card all you need to do is get this dial and pump it up to whatever
resolution you want I'm gonna put this up to about twenty one sixty just a bit
over as polls and that will give me four cave
Ellucian this will actually override whatever default resolution you've got
set over here obviously if you're playing this on a 1080p and you push it
to 4k it's not going to show you 4k images but what it'll do is it'll give
you that a kind of DSR super sampling so it's rendering the actual game images or
the artifacts in that resolution which means that even if you are playing at a
native resolution of 1080p it will still be a lot crisper on the edges with less
jaggies along those lines but don't let it hamper your performance again the
good thing about this emulator is that it hardly impacts whatsoever so you can
pump this pretty high I wouldn't mess around with this too much unless you've
actually got issues with games what this can do can do what I've noticed is if I
pump this up further then it will take less a load off my system but I again
I've noticed big glitches in games doing that writing not showing up and all that
kind of stuff so I wouldn't mess around with it unless it goes down on lines
obviously on the side we've got things like vsync and all that kind of stuff I
don't really mess around with anything down dear I keep everything as default
unless settings dictate that I have to change this and then you've got frame
limiters you can put it to 30 60 all that kind of stuff and I static filter
in post-processing again these can kind of break some games including the actual
frame limit so keep everything as standard unless you really want to
experiment rest of the stuff then makes no difference whatsoever with the actual
game unless something does need to be done click Save and now as you can see
once we've saved that we've got a pair gain this configuration there and they
take it by a little cog next to the icon this means that if I was to load it now
it would load using its own settings so let's do that
and this is the emulator now running on these new settings we have run in
internal resolution of 4k albeit being rendered on my screen in 1080p we talked
about why just a second ago but I trust you YouTube won't do this justice but
this looks so much better being rendered like this I will give you now this is
what I did like and this is what it now looks like it's to me night and day
playing this in real time but it made different from you again using YouTube's
little compression methods so that to be honest is pretty much displaced systems
and getting each game to run the only bit of a thing that I think we need to
cover is getting some of these PlayStation Network games and hard drive
based games working these are normally come in a PKG format so let's exile here
and here is some PKG files that i've already got set up and ready to rumble
so as you can see you've got wipe out HD
fury and I've also got Yakuza 5 and Castlevania soon for the night so some
of these come in many parts so the first one would likely be the initial install
of a game then you can have the next update the next update the next update
all the way until you've got the most recent version that's why I often you'll
find that the first file pertaining to said game will be the biggest one and
then they will go smaller and smaller because these are just smaller updates
as you go along now the easiest way to actually install
these is same as normal to be honest drag it over install the package yes now
the difference why we couldn't do it all at once like we did before is because
the way that these are done if these are updates so if I just throw them all
there at the same time the emulator may get confused as to which one is a real
file and try to actually install an update before the actual game is there
so to mess around and save any confusion to make sure everything is installed
properly what I want to do is obviously just drag it over and do one at a time
so as we can see we've got Castlevania Symphony Knight now installed on here
now what I can do is drag this over and this will now update it I would think so
let's minimize this so I've got unknown at the moment and now this should give
us a version hopefully no it's not but you see we're good coming from so now if
I was to load this up as you can see we have now got PlayStation games working
now this is a PlayStation Network game so it's not exactly it is as opposed to
being emulated but it's not doing it through the same way as you can emulate
through this emulator as sounds like inception does
it emulates in an emulator through an emulator so now what we can do is play
Castlevania Symphony the night through a PlayStation 3 emulator still kind of
inception but not as good as doing it for a proper emulator there you go
I'm not gonna go through it coz there's a huge intro to this one so there you go
guys that is PKG files which are normally the playstation network ones
you will see sometimes that you will get a how would you say a install file such
as this a PKG and then you may get an either slush rap so some files are
called rap files and some kind of files a call a dance
now what those are is say for example you was to download a demo of a game now
some of these demos are actually full games but you can't access the whole
game unless obviously you've paid for it but if you had paid for them you will
get what's called a either or a rap file those little tiny files are basically a
key to unlock the entire game so you go through the entire process of installing
each one of the games until it's completely up to date then you throw in
your rap file or either and that will then burst open the game to be fully
playable for all time you get what we're coming from so I think that is about
that to be honest we have again gone very in-depth we've covered a lot of
stuff on this emulator some other stuff you may think is simple but for and
every user as in somebody who's never done emulators before doesn't know what
they're getting into at least now they can take it from start
to finish and know everything about this emulator inside out I encourage you to
go over to the RPC s3 website on there they've got a wiki for many of the
questions which may still burn in your hearts also they've got an active forum
like I talked about they have got an active discord and also I've got my
comment section down there I do keep contacts on all my videos and try to
answer as many as I can especially as soon as a video
goes up but if you aren't have any more luck have a look at my disco channel
there is a huge community there that don't just cover this emulator they
covered them all and people have they've gone far and beyond what is expected of
people just helping out there's nothing in it for them it's just for the good of
the scene and that's the kind of thing that I love so if you're a positive kind
of person head on over join in with the gang and well make it sound like a big
fight it's just this code for God's sake very way I'm waffling on it has been an
absolute pleasure bringing these to you guys please as always like please
subscribe please share this to everybody in the entire world but most of all most
of all you guys have a very good day laters
