In this video Whatcookie explains why PlayStation 3 emulation is so fast on RPCS3. This video was made as a response to the many videos titled along the lines of "Why is the PS3 Hard to Emulate?" without going into technical details beyond "It's complex".
Two Years of Emulation Improvements
In this showcase we go over notable changes in RPCS3 over the last two years. While we can't cover everything in a single video, there have been several new features such as savestates, performance improvements and myriad of games becoming playable.
MotorStorm Pacific Rift at 4K 60FPS
MotorStorm Pacific Rift is now playable at 4K 60FPS thanks to some major performance improvements our developers and contributors implemented earlier this year. Some settings are required to fix visual issues such as Write Color Buffers and Read Color Buffers.
