The latest news related to emulators is not good, at least not the ones related to the Nintendo Switch, since, as we all know, after Nintendo sued the developer of Yuzu, he abandoned development and was forced to pay more than 2 million dollars as compensation. And just a few days later, another project also stopped updating to prevent Nintendo from going after its developer.
However, it’s not all bad news for emulator lovers. If we talk about PS3 emulators, we have to talk about RPCS3, the only emulator that allows you to play virtually any game on the Sony console.
The team behind this emulator remains committed to its development. The latest proof of their commitment can be found in the latest update they have released for RPCS3, a version that includes performance improvements in titles such as Gran Turismo 5, which now runs at 60 FPS and looks more impressive than ever.
New features of RCPS3
The development team behind this popular PS3 emulator has just published a video showing the main new features that have been introduced in this application over the last two years.
The first and most important one, which also draws the most attention, is found in the title Gran Turismo 5, a game that is now capable of exceeding 60 FPS, but on high-end computers since this emulator has higher requirements than those of other consoles.
In this video, we can also see significant performance improvements in titles God of War 3 , Demon’s Sould , Metal Gear Solid 4 , KillZone 2, inFamous and Ratchet & Clank: A crack in time.
Performance improvements have also been implemented for asynchronous texture streaming on systems with NVIDIA graphics cards , improvements that now allow you to enjoy Killzone 3 in virtually the same way as you did on Sony’s console.
This is one of the most important updates that the PS3 emulator RPCS3 has received in the last two years, although it is not the only one, as the developers continue to actively release minor updates to improve support and stability for the large number of games that this emulator is capable of running , which exceeds 3,000.
They claim that they still have a long way to go, as this is a free project and the developers do not make any profit from their development, spending part of their free time on this fantastic open source emulator .
How to download this PS3 emulator
As we mentioned above, RPCS3 is an open source and completely free PS3 emulator that allows us to enjoy the PS3 games we have directly on the computer managed by Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD. You can download it for free from the developer’s website , but we are not going to go into too much detail because we have a complete RPCS3 guide in which we tell you in detail how to download, install and configure it on your PC.
To enjoy decent quality on your PC, they recommend that the computer has a minimum of 6 cores and 12 threads , along with a graphics card with at least 4 GB of VRAM.
