Why RPCS3 is so hard to run on some hardware

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

Just a correction. AVX512 has been removed from 12th-gen Intel cpu's, so your best bet is the 11-gen series (Rocket Lake) instead. AMD Zen 4 also has its own implementation of AVX512.

Well, I think developers needed to rethink their development strategies, to make use of the new architecture. I don't think the PS3 architecture was awful. Developing games for a console is different from writing the emulator of the hardware.

[@Marfig]

And in case you are wondering, no. The Steamdeck processor does not support AVX-512 either. AMD introduced it with Zen 4. Steamdeck's Ryzen 3 4300U is a Zen 3. It does however support AVX2, which is the 256 bit extension to AVX. Pretty much all compilers support it, but I don't know how much of that instruction set can be used by them to improve performance, when compiling code designed for the 512 bit extension.

[@alexviralata1356]

Yo, I'm still rocking a 4790K btw, and the only reason I changed my old C2Q 9550 for this one, was just to play PCSX2. On that front it's amazing! And even to this day it has served me well, no complaints, BUT! My old C2Q felt pretty much the same as this i7 when doing some online browsing and youtube watching. It's on video games and source codes compilation where I notice a big difference. Right now, my goal is to be able to play RPCS3 4k@120, so I'll wait for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D (yeah, I need them cores for some hardcore linux kernel compilation). Btw, on my current CPU, RPCS3 ran quite good, not perfect but 1080p@30 was doable with most games, I even finished MGS4 at 2K@30, and it ran with a more stable performance than on original hardware. Gran Turismo 5 was more challenging, with a full grid this CPU struggle. But you are right, a CPU with AVX512 is a requirement for decent RPCS3 utilization. Just like SEE4.1 is a requirement for PCSX2. Can you use something else instead of those extension? Yes, ofc, but the performance won't be the best possible. Nice video mate! Cheers!

[@Kvergetakis]

X3d chips don't benefit emulation in general. It would be better to have the non X3d version of the same prossecor, and take advantage from the higher clock speeds instead.

[@Carnage488]

Very informative video. I definitely learnt something new today

[@ampatrao]

There's a another KZbinr that originally had a 9900k paired with a 2600 GPU and showed some of the games that he struggled with that older system. He upgraded to a 9800x3d with the same video card and showed those same games. What a night and day difference. Everything was so smooth with the newer CPU. Emulation is just a different beast to normal PC gaming. It's just far more CPU dependent.

[@Syssn3ck]

The 9800X3D is not out yet, maybe you mean the 7800X3D.

[@ChainikVlad]

Ryzen 3D CPUs can actually help in some non-emulated games, such as Cyberpunk, where stutters are practically gone there if you travel around Night City with high speeds.

[@LogHorizon4]

Well 4 cores 8 threads as way back as sandy bridge i.e i7 2600k can play a good amount of 3rd party (Playable) titles it's only first party titles or games that uses the PS3 architecture more effectively i.e Gran Turisimo 5,6 , Killzone 2,3 TLOU & stuff like GTA 5 & Infamous these really need as much cores & AVX 512 to get playable framerate. The PS3 architecture was hard to work with for game developers so some of them used easier ways to utilize the ps3 in turn they lost a lot of performance & or fidelity whilst others leaned into the architecture that brought us Impressive visuals and performance at the time. That is somewhat correlated to how easy or hard it is to emulate said games (Not Always though). That is probably the reason some games never came to newer gen consoles or PC as well , cause a lot of work needs to be done to port it over if devs leaned into PS3 SPU's.

its the ppu modules and spu shader cache for your games thats useful for making your games smooth and stutter free. thats why RPCS3 has the "Compiling Shaders" message. and to answer your question, probably not.

[@Rodrigoooo]

@@arseheadrpcnofficial Thanks. It turns out the cache isn't the thing that is drastically changing the size of RPCS3. It was the format of the games. I had a few games in the RAP format and they had to be installed into my PC before playing them. JB format seems to fix this annoyance.

Both Xenia and RPCS3 are too demanding. This is stupid. Xenia is 70% broken to this day, RPCS3 is still a mess and a PS4 emulator will be way faster. (shadPS4 is an example)

[@JohnnyAdams-g7h]

This isn't stupid, this is because of the choices made in the 7th generation of gaming consoles. Microsoft bet on PowerPC while Sony tried to change how we run games through SPU. The fact that PS3/360 emulation is even possible is something to bet thankful for, given that even Sony couldn't get PS3 emulation working on their PS5.

Yup, just like we always knew from the start. The emulator is not optimized for low-end computers.

[@Greeem]

@@n-tertainmentx-tended4760 You cannot "optimize" away insufficient performance. *Everything* meaningful in PS3 emulation is CPU-bound. RPCS3 running on low-end computers is a pipe dream that will only come true when "low-end" is equivalent to current day high-end. The sad reality is Sony created a beast in the PS3, the CELL CPU. Not to mention on the real hardware the game is running directly on the console, whereas in emulation its in some program that creates an environment that the game expects to be in and mimics a real PS3 so that the games can run in this fake "PS3 container" (can't think of a better term). Doing all of this, instead of just running the game itself, adds a very significant amount of overhead that the real hardware doesn't have. I would like to mention that I'm not telling you this out of any dislike, rage or malice; I simply feel like it's incorrect to say that the emulator isn't optimized for low-end devices when that's just not really a thing that can be done, and wanted to share why if you aren't already knowledgeable.

@@ProtectusCZ Sony was originally going to use the SPUs for graphics processing iirc, they added the RSX when they heard Xbox 360 will have much more powerful graphics hardware.

[@agemug2729]

What do you expect? A small group of people are still trying their best to improve the emulator further and further. Emulating the ps3 CPU architecture is not an easy task as the Cell processor is extremely difficult to work on

[@AbbasDalal1000]

Will an amd epyc 9654p do ?

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

Yes, it's a Zen 4 cpu. So it has AVX512.

I can play with the RPCS3 emulator perfectly wit the most demanding games with my Xeon x5675 6 cores 12 threads running at 5Ghz

[@unveiledwithouttears1370]

I got a ryzen 7, with a 12gb 3060 and its struggled to play the last of us. Most of the game was between 15-25fps, with artifacts, crashes, and stuttering.

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

That's what many people experience, but I got a lot of flack from fanboys for mentioning this. I mean, I made a RPCS3 compilation video and have no ill will towards the developers, but they already kicked me from their Discord server. That's how open-minded they are.

[@JoseLgamer05]

my r5 5600x and my r7 5800h can run rpcs3 competently enough really, both run gran turismo 5 well enough. My r5 2600 is a whole another story, it struggles hard, since the zen and zen+ architectures struggle with AVX instructions, and zen2 and up don't have such issues anymore. No ideia how things run on the Intel side, I would imagine a i5 9600(k) and up would be fine too.

Lmao, I was scared I’d make a cameo in that vid. Glad I didn’t ask any questions that sounded stupid. Also, sadly yes. This emu is hard to run. My steam deck can’t run it. Maybe legion go will do the job? I will find out soon enough.

Bro, same for me. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with 8 cores and 16 threads. Also, running a 3080ti and it crashes constantly. I've tried doing everything to fix but it still crashes. Skate 3 runs fine but will stutter a bit.

[@mustaqeemalamansari8896]

R5 3600 with rtx 2060 will it work smoothy

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

It's five years old, so it might struggle with the high-tier exclusives, like Infamous, Killzone 2 and Uncharted. Otherwise it should be okay with 80 percent of the PS3 catalogue.

[@greatestgamer00]

technicality's aside its the simple fact the ps3 arcytecthure with its notisously hard coding . in a field were emualtion even if much stronger hardware can take years to develope . just look at were psx and dolphin are at and theyr not 100 percent their yet (but very close in my op) and are super solid on high end laptops with gtx1050 / 1060 equiviletns at 4k right now hom many years since they started deving on modern 2020 hardware .And these guys have no source code , sony employs devs or even time/ budget . they doing as side hustle. So give it at least 20 years before i even so much recomend rpsx3 to peopl to emulate semi reliabily for most when 8 core cpus become norm. because even with my core high i7 cpu pcs ddr3 and ddr4 gen ones i can bealry run ps2 games reralses on ps3 on rpcs3.
