RPCSX - yay or nay?

[SkunkyBeaumont]

So... I'm trying to figure out a way to play Metal Gear Solid 4 without having to buy a PS3 to do it, and I came across this emulator, I think. I'm kinda already not a fan and I haven't even used it yet. Seems a bit sus.

Isn't that a PS4 emulator? I don't remember MGS4 being backwards compatible, am I misremembering that?

It's allegedly a PS3 emulator, but it looks like a poormans retroarch that makes you watch ads for in app currency to unlock shit.

RPCS3 is the only viable PS3 emulator as far as I know.

 

[Isupporttaxevasion]

I used it to play Bloodborne!! it worked well ^^
even tho iam a spoiled PPSSPP user (aka the peak of emulation) i whatsoever didnt find any issues while using it

Don't know about this one but from your screencaps it looks pretty sketch. Personally, RPCS3 is the go-to PS3 emulator but I don't think they are mobile compatible.

 

[ATenderLad]

Yeah that appears to be a total scam.

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Even if it works, and doesn't rob my data, I dunno how I feel about freemium emulators.

Taint, and it won't be due the toxicity of the general android user base, unfortunately.

I feel you.

While I have no complains about the Saturn emulator I had been using, the fact that it required me to be online to use cheats really rubbed me the wrong way.

Also, that one looks really fishy.

I wouldn't bother with it bro, I'd just go with rpcs3!

It's either the S24 ultra or 5+ year old chromebook for options atm. The S24 has the power, but stuck in android hell.

You are talking about rpcs3 a well known PS3 emulator that runs decently well but requires decent hardware, rpcsx a fake PS4 is a total scam though.

Yeah, clearly. I basically uninstalled it after getting those screenshots and didn't bother to poke around anymore.

If you want to play MGS4 then your only option is RPCS3 which is a PS3 emulator. Or you can wait until Konami releases MGS collection 2 next year.

Also just to clear up some confusion, RPCSX is a legit emulator however they don't have any website or anything. Everything is done on the Github. So even though the emulator is legit what you got is a malware.

 

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Word. Yeah, avoid the Play Store at all costs.

RPCSX is a PS4 and PS5 emulator. It will never emulate PS3.

It only runs on Linux, on no other operatingsystem. So it does not work on Android.

There is no official download, unless you have build it yourself from their Github, you should not attempt to download and run it from anywhere.

I do believe we've established that at this point.

I'm hoping that a remaster is coming out next year in a MGS Collection Volume 2.

Dude, what the hell is this? It looks like baby's first internet website, and the text absolutely reeks of chatGPT. They even messed up with the name "RPCS3" in the second picture lmao

 

[laughingoctopus]

RPCS3 for ps3 games. If set up correctly and on a decent computer. It's really good.

Unless you have a super computer, a real PS3 is you best bet.
But it's good to have a PS3 emu.
