Hi, I am trying to download uncharted 3 onto my PC which is a ps3 game I'm downloading the rom right now but have been having problems with how to put the game into the emulator after it is downloaded is this breezip still a good method now?

[@oswaldoculo]

Thank you so much for this. I'm in general very surprised by the PS3 emulator scene, all the videos are direct and straight to the point, no bs, no more than 10 minutes, this is how all video tutorials should be.

[@user-py6fx6nn8s]

can you tell me how to make the folder and put the game in it

[@oswaldoculo]

@@user-py6fx6nn8s when you download a PS3 "ROM" you get a .iso file, that's a disc image file that you can mount on windows. Once mounted, you have to literally copy and paste the contents of the .iso somewhere else on your PC, then you drag and drop the contents you just copied on the emulator UI. That's what was done in this video.

I have an issue with mgs4 where it skips every couple of seconds and when it does i see a disc with a question mark appear for a split second and disappears. I have it installed on a samsung 980 pro so it's not a speed issue on my end. I am also using a verified redump iso. Maybe it's just a recommended setting that is causing it.

I know that in Killzone 2 there is a patch (in RPCS3) to skip the opening cut scene that plays every time you start the game. Check the patches section in RPCS3 to see if the same thing exists for your game.

[@moviemaker2011z]

@AjayBahia iso files if you right click it you should get an option to say "mount". If you do that it should make a folder that SHOULD say "PS3 Game" inside ir and THAT will work to drag and drop. If you have a game folder and there's a second folder inside of it, pull that second one OUT and then it should work. I could try to do a video on it but I'm still figuring out how it works myself.

You have to rename the folder inside the extracted ps3 game title folder to "PS3_GAME" if it is just named "GAME" and you must also rename the .SFB file to "PS3_DISC.SFB"
