PS3 emulation going places!
I really need to buy a drive to dump my games asap...and a new SSD to store them, too. D:

Emulators sound so fucking awesome until you sit down and try to finish a game and you never managed to get the settings just right and you get some weird graphical glitches here and there.
That said, I love emulators and I love what people are achieving. Keep on keeping on.

Is Demon's Souls playable in 60 FPS/4K from start to finish nowadays? PS3 emulation looks really good.
stubbornly hoping ps5 has ps3 back compat so I don't need to fiddle with this stuff...
I'd really like to replay this at some point

Dante's Inferno is the latest game to be declared fully playable and glitch-free in the open-source PS3 emulator RPCS3. "Issues with Physics made it impossible to finish some stages normally" before now, and there were some problems with cutscene audio stuttering and generally stability, but that's all solved and it's looking lovely in 4K. I mean, as lovely as Hell is ever going to look.
RPCS3 also recently added support for 3D games, on the off-chance you want to play any of those.

RPCS3 really has come a long way. It gives me hope that the PS5 could support official BC, as unlikely as that still seems.
Y'all haven't lived until you've played Demon's Souls at 4k/60.

Already posted.
There's some minor, non-game-breaking issues.
I played through it last year at 4k/60.
That sounds like 2000s era emulators.
Emulators nowadays are great and more streamlined. Usually, they only require some tinkering at the beginning.
Do you mean like 60 emulated system fps (with normal PS3 game frame rate), or a hack with the game actually rendering 60 fps?
edit: holy crap, you meant actual rendered 60 fps! I had no idea it was this far along.
I have a PC Blu-ray drive that can read straight from the discs. That seems to be the easiest way.
Edit: I have this guy, though there are other models listed on the RPCS3 ripping guide that may be cheaper.
I played a couple of PS2 games on the current version of pcsx2 and all of them need some tinkering in the beginning but at some point in the game they started having weird graphics bugs. Probably due to new scenes having graphical stuff that weren't there at the beginning. I'm not complaining, there are so many variables and it's still an awesome experience to play PS2 games at 4K.
Dolphin is much better though except the weird occasional stutter.
I never played the game, but looking at the game play video it's an unapologetic rip off of the original GOW games. Down to the tone of the game, gameplay flow and level design.
It's just the latest emulation quality milestone. Improvements to RPCS3 just happened to make this game fully playable and other games can be assumed to benefit even if not to the same extent.
If you have a CFW PS3 and a spare external HDD, ripping games is pretty simple.
Playable does not mean perfect / without obvious issues of course, just that it can be played and completed.
By current, are you referring to 1.4 or the 1.5 development builds? 1.4 is years out of date.
Also, with PCSX2, I recommend using something like Launchbox with the PCSX2 plugin, PCSX2Bonus, or Spectibis. Then you can use use the Emulation wiki for recommended settings and pre-configure each game that way so you don't have to go back and adjust settings every time you want to play a different game.
Every other modern emulator is far superior to PCSX2 in that regard since they all pretty much let you save third party configs natively inside of the UI instead of writing background config files.
does this still work with the current version of launchbox? i remember the update to it moving to web based or whatever messed with PCSX2 plugin for a while
I beat Demon's souls with a lowly fx 6300 at stock speeds. Yeah, FPS were lower than 30 sometimes and had some sound glitches here and there but overall it was great. I was trying to beat the game for a second time when it crashed on the Blue Dragon bridge. When resetting the game gets stuck in the Checking Trophies screen... anyone has a workaround for that?
I love RPCS3, it's incredible how far they've come recently.
My holy grail would be emulating the client side of PSN so that Demon's Souls can connect to the private servers people have said up to maintain the online, that would be absolutely incredible. However with how quickly they're fixing all these different games to work (whoever made Drakengard 3 a priority, I love you) I can't really complain that they're not dropping everything to work on backwards engineering a huge feature for a single game.
