I wonder how this compares to RPCSX.
aPS3e is based on rpcs3, so probably similar performance.
is it? that's good to know actually, I wonder if this is gonna end up like all the different forks of Yuzu, so aPS3e will be better for some games and RPCSX will be better for others.
Is that another android one? I just tried UMVC3 on both - aps3e wouldn't boot it and can't recognize my right joystick, and while rcps3 boots, it can only be used with Bluetooth controllers. So id be up to try a 3rd today while im making a thing of it
yeah, RPCS3-Android was merged into RPCSX proper and became RPCSX-UI-Android.
Just downloaded it and already mapped the retroid controller, which fucks. Installing MVC3 again to give it a go
I'm assuming at this point that either your phone/handheld burst into flames or RPCSX is actually playable.
Of the shit ive tried rcpsx runs best, UMVC3 got to the char select screen and then hung. Ill muck around with settings, maybe. Probably would be easier just to wait a year or two for better hardware and a more stable release
yeah, I've heard that PS3 emulation can be pretty rough if you're playing anything even slightly demanding, which is a shame. are you running one of the Retroid handhelds, by chance? I have their Flip 2 on order and plan to mess with some lower-end PS3 games on it.
Yeah, rocking a 5 and its been great so far, very few games ive tried that dont run smoothly out of the box. Thinking about trying the android switch emulator soon
oh sick! I’ve heard good things about Switch emulation on the RP5/RPF2, though it does require finagling with different GPU drivers for different games, apparently. but I’ve seen some people getting solid 30fps+ in lightly modded BotW, which is really all I care about (I wanna play through it again but with the Linkle 3.0 mod, which I can’t do on official hardware).
