We do not condone piracy of any kind. Asking for, providing or discussing illegal download links is not allowed in our communities.

Purchasing legitimate game copies, through the PlayStation Store or through acquiring game discs, and using those copies with RPCS3 is the best way to ensure you will have a clean copy that will work with the emulator. You can use your legal copies with RPCS3 by following the instructions in our Quickstart guide.

Expect good performance for desktop and laptop PCs running on any of the supported operating systems as well as the recommended system hardware specifications.

See the PC Requirements section for more details.

Expect highly variable performance for handhelds with less than 6 cores and/or 16GB of RAM. Using Linux is highly recommended due to its lower software overhead.

See the For handhelds section for more details.

Hardware requirements for running RPCS3 will vary depending on your current configuration. For the best experience, users should be targeting the recommended requirements. We cannot guarantee good performance if you are below the recommended requirements but you're always welcome to experiment.

RPCS3 requires the PlayStation 3 system software because it contains dependencies and proprietary libraries for the emulator to function. If you are running Windows, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable is required. Linux, macOS and FreeBSD do not require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable.

To install the PlayStation 3 system software, simply use RPCS3's built in firmware installer found under File > Install Firmware. To update the PlayStation 3 system software or install a custom firmware, simply repeat these steps to overwrite any existing firmware files.

RPCS3 features an auto-updater which will prompt you if you want to update after starting the emulator. You can either accept, deny or disable updates all together. We do not recommended disabling updates due to the volume of fixes that roll out each day.

In the event that you need to update RPCS3 manually, you can follow the following instructions:

Some PlayStation 3 games come in the form of package files, specifically PlayStation Network games, game updates or applications in general. .PKG files must be extracted using RPCS3's package installer found under File > Install Packages/Raps/Edats (or drag and dropped onto emulator window)

Blu-ray disc game data should be placed in \games located in your RPCS3 root folder or anywhere else except for \dev_hdd0\game\ and can be booted from File > Boot Game if not present on the game list.

PlayStation 3 save data is specific to each game you have installed. It's easy to import a save from a real PlayStation 3 or outside source by simply dragging and dropping it into the save data directory.

Here are the locations where save data is stored per operating system:

Game updates are handled the same as PlayStation Network .PKGs. Simply install using RPCS3's package installer found under File > Install Packages/Raps/Edats

Note: Game updates must be the same region in order to work. Cross-mixing game regions may create irreversible damage to the game.

PlayStation 3 games can be dumped using an original console running a file manager homebrew software such as ManagunZ, IRISMAN or MultiMAN via a custom or hybrid firmware but will require basic knowledge regarding the installation its use.

For more information on this topic, check our Wiki page.

PlayStation 3 games can be dumped using a PC with a compatible Blu-ray disc drive using dedicated software but may require advanced knowledge regarding dumping data from game discs.

More information on compatible Blu-ray drives can be found below.

We recommend that you dump your own PlayStation 3 games from your own console. This is the most compatible way to migrate your games and the only way to copy digital games to a PC. To do this, you will need a PlayStation 3 system with custom or hybrid firmware.

For dumping disc-based games, you need to use file manager homebrew software such as ManagunZ, IRISMAN, or MultiMAN. You can transfer game files to a PC through an external drive or by using an FTP connection between your PlayStation 3 and PC.

Note: The PlayStation 3 has a maximum file size of 4GB. When dumping games which contain files larger than 4GB, multiMAN will split those files when the 4GB limit is reached. After the game is dumped from the console and into your PC, you must rejoin the split files back together with part merging software such as ps3merge, otherwise the dump will not work.

For dumping digital games, you must copy the game folder from /dev_hdd0/game/GameID on your console over to the same path within your RPCS3 folder. You will also need a backup of their .RAP (license) files to be used with RPCS3.

Note: It is also possible to dump digital content and licenses on any PS3 even without custom firmware by the way of creating a system backup and then extracting it with ps3xport software.

You can dump games using your computer by using select compatible Blu-ray drives. Please note that you can only use this method if a .ird file is available online for the decryption of the disc. Not every Blu-ray drive will recognize PlayStation 3 games due to how PlayStation 3 format discs are designed.

Note: Blu-ray drives require a Mediatek chipset and a +6 read offset to fully read PlayStation 3 discs.

This is an automated and user-friendly way of getting a decrypted copy of your PlayStation 3 discs. You must possess one of the aforementioned compatible disc drives to complete the disc dumping procedure. Again, this method will not work with standard Blu-ray drives.

For detailed information on dumping PlayStation 3 games using this tool, check the official RPCS3 Wiki.

PS3-system-update, PS3 Firmware updated on 28-02-23, at least 200MB of free space in the PlayStation 3 Hard Disk Drive is needed for updates. It can also be carried out from the removable storage media.

There are different advantages when you upgrade your PlayStation 3 software and firmware, such as new exciting features, improvements in usability, and enhanced security. Make sure not to switch off the PS3 or pull the AC cord during an update of the system.

over the last few years, I've been on a quest of collecting original controllers for various consoles to be able to play emulated games with them.

Currently I am facing a problem using RPCS3 with original Dualshock 3 Controllers. So here is what I did / tried:

1. I tried DSHidMini, which is almost perfect, but there seems to be a bug with the motion controlls. Here is a video showcasing what I am experiencing:

tldr: I want to use Dualshock 3 Controllers on RPCS3, but the motion controlls don't work on all of my original DS3 controllers. It might be a firmware issue, so I'd need some information on how to update the controller firmware on a Dualshock 3 controller.

Thx for all your input!

The pinout of the Toshiba T6UN6EFG-003 was traced in a VX4 board. Has not been verifyed if the pinout matches with T6UN6EFG-001 or T6UN6EFG-002 or other boards. It seems the pins can be remapped at bootloder as can be seen in the photos of the PP1 prototype (note the sensors in that photo are connected to pins 77, 78, 79, 80, this doesnt matches with newer dualshocks 3 models). Some people said in most older versions of the controller it was posible to update the controller firmware by USB with a tool that uploads a rom to the controller, this update procedure should be made by using the BT module because all USB connections are managed by it (so in some way it was the BT module the responsible to update the toshiba controller)

Hey thx, for checking. And you are absolutely sure that your controller is a legit DS3?

What baffles me is that with the original Sony drivers, motion controlls work on all controllers, while with DSHidMini, two of my controllers have the bugged out G axis. What reason could there be for this behavior?

I've just bought 2 more used DS3 controllers and will check what kind of behavior they show.

Haha, yeah I guess it's legit. So that tells me there are some DS3 controllers around that just don't work with the DSHidMini drivers, but only with the original Sony drivers ( =Help:Controller_Configuration)

Prior to the 2.2 update of EmuDeck, the Flatpak version of RPCS3 was installed. The Flatpak version is identical to the version you may install from the Discover store. With the 2.2 update, EmuDeck swapped over from the Flatpak to the AppImage. The primary reason for the swap to the AppImage was to use the official distribution of RPCS3 on Linux. The Flatpak/version you may download through Discover is maintained by the community and is an unofficial build.

If you are still using the Flatpak or are unsure which version you are using, you may swap over to the AppImage by opening the EmuDeck application, clicking the "Manage Emulators" tab, clicking RPCS3, and clicking both "Reinstall" and "Reset Configuration".

The AppImage works through Steam shortcuts created by Steam ROM Manager, ES-DE, and Pegasus. If you used Steam ROM Manager previously, you may need to re-add your PlayStation 3 games. If you created desktop files for ES-DE, you will need to recreate them so the AppImage is used instead. For instructions on ES-DE, see How to Configure RPCS3 to Work With ES-DE and Pegasus.
