RPCS3 just got a lot faster on Arm, after months of low-level optimization
PlayStation 3 Emulator RPCS3 is rolling out a major Arm64 upgrade, delivering up to 60% faster performance and 25% lower power draw on supported hardware. Demonstrated on an Ayn Odin 2 handheld, the optimizations make previously unplayable titles like Ninja Gaiden 3 run smoothly and extend across Arm64 builds on Linux, macOS, and Windows, from Apple Silicon to Snapdragon X laptops and handhelds.…
RPCS3, an open-source PlayStation 3 emulator, has recently seen significant performance improvements on Arm systems after months of low-level optimization. This open-source project, written in C++, aims to accurately emulate the PlayStation 3 across multiple operating systems. The team has successfully integrated high-resolution rendering, allowing users to enjoy games at resolutions far beyond the PS3's capabilities.
Although 10k resolution might not be accessible to many users at the moment, the progress is promising for preserving the legacy of PlayStation 3 hardware and its vast library on PC platforms. With Vulkan support, users can expect identical performance at 4k resolutions. Additionally, the emulator now supports 16x anti-aliasing, which greatly enhances texture quality, particularly in games like Ni no Kuni. The list of compatible games is subject to frequent updates.
