I have tested (played to completion all S rank missions) this game on two seperate systems.
Ryzen 5 1600 + nVidia 1060
Ryzen 5950x + nVidia 3080ti
On both systems it runs as well as the original hardware in terms of stability, textures load correctly given the proper settings. I have also tested this on an overkill AMD 5950x and 3080ti, as expected it runs great on this high end machine. The game was never that stable on the original hardware; the more missions you play on the opriginal ps3 hardware (I have a copy and played this game roughly 500 hours) the less stable it becomes. I would reset the PS3 at the first sign of audio stutter, which was normal. The game was not very stable on the original hardware. It is even MORE stable and performs at higher resolution with the systems I have tested with this title.
I recommend that Armored Core; For Answer be placed on the "playable" list as it seems on the latest version of RPCS3 it runs very well, and even better than original hardware, on a ryzen 1600 and nVidia 1060. The Ryzen 1600 and nVidia 1060 was considered a low tier system five years ago, and between software improvements (especially the option to hide the PPU modules notification) it is running better than ever. I've been playing For Answer for the last couple years, and it has been running very nicely over the years, but these days it is better than ever.
This game seems to have graduated. If you leave me no choice, I will initiate plan D.
