Is it weird that I found the click of your mouse oddly satisfying? Lol. Great video Blaine!

Could you show how to get the iso and decrypt it? I have the game disc and a blu-ray player that can read PS3 files. But I am lost in how to actually get the iso file to load properly for RPCS3.

Your videos are amazing Blaine. The way you put them together is so professional. Just thought I should show my appreciation as you've helped me mod so many retro consoles! Quick question, do you get much time to actually play many games? 🤙🏼🤣

why nothing happens when i try add a game... i doing disc version so has 2 files and i put it in 1 folder. tried putting into the rpcs3 games folder aswel also not working HELPPPPP

[@apoplexiamusic]

I have an M1 Mac Mini with OS 13.16.1 when following the initial steps to open the emulator it crashed about ten times and just as i started writing this comment, it suddenly opens to the main menu! Some weird voodoo stuff is happening here.

[@JoTokutora]

Where can I download the older builds. Is there any previous builds that worked on 10.4 Mojave?

[@ahmadyahyal]

Keeps saying "Booting failed: The selected file or folder is invalid or corrupted." when I load the game.

[@deenkibatain5103]

the iso files are throwing error the file of folder is corrupted

[@Itztyronemashall]

Uhh, my mac complaining about it cant start the emulator because its free from malware, and i also got the emulator from the original site it finally worked but every time i launch a game after the intro it shows of a black screen... its so stressful😰 and i have a mac book air monterey ver. 12.6

[@zynqx_r6]

go to system settings then privacy and security. scroll down and it should let you allow it

[@Kindclap]

Is it possible to install it on a Mac Book Pro of 2012?

Do you think a 2012 Mac would be too old 😬 ?

[@NajWrldOrder]

wondering this same thing

[@modersport8706]

Probably not. I have a 2015 iMac and that can barely play some games

[@TheGamerGuy1981]

Definitely, the PS3 emulator only works soso on several games on my base M1, (15-20 FPS) with only some titles being what I'd call playable. The 2012 Processors/GPU's were far weaker than the 2020 M1 is.

[@tblad3z794]

Got stuck at opening the RPCS3 says it quit unexpectedly every time, don’t know what to do from here. Can someone help please.

[@Yuu_Amazawa]

Thanks for the great tutorial on how to set up the emulator! I still have some concerns though about what macs can run this, for example i have an 2015 MacBook pro with an 225gb ssd built in it would you think that the emulator would run on my device

[@djstarboy7178]

same i went through all videos posted on youtube no any clear idea about this. I saw windows users extracting iso with parch application and it is running perfectly for them.

I think for now the RPCS3 artifacts are only able to map the DS4 controller. Especially when you connect it with a cable, it will work flawlessly. It also works with Bluetooth of course.

It's really not that hard buddy. Obviously you can't say it in a video or the video gets taken down, all it takes is a couple brain cells and a quick google search. If you dont wanna do that, then upload the games directly from the physical ps3 copy

Adding games poses to be a problem. Can you help with this?

[@icabookwurm]

Great video Blaine! I actually had RPCS3 running on my M1 Mac Mini a couple months ago, but I removed it because getting the games to run was a major hassle. I think I’ll wait until there’s a more “plug & play” functionality to it.

What exactly did you have to do? I have an M1 air and I wanna know if it’s worth it or not

@@justinmarqueef3426 Each game has different settings, so you have to mess with the settings to get it to play. It’s a pain. I wish it was as plug and play ready as Openemu or Dolphin.
