Parser VS rpcs3

Tolc is 100% open source, and you can find the final solution in the parser repo here.

Hi everyone!

Some friends and I were unhappy with how much work it was to use C++ from other languages. We were working in the optimizations industry and often had to prototype with python. Eventually, we created a tool to make it easier for C++ to talk to python (by generating pybind11). Later, javascript via WebAssembly was added as well. It's now at a point where it's very easy to just create a C++ library and use it from any of those languages without change. We're planning on slowly adding more languages as needed/requested. The next on the list are Swift and Kotlin.

It does not require any change to your existing public interface, but simply reads it and creates the bindings off of that. It should also work on Linux (Debian), MacOS, and Windows (Visual Studio). Here's a small demo if you'd like to test:

And here are the repositories with the source code:

https://github.com/Tolc-Software/tolc - The executable

https://github.com/Tolc-Software/frontend.py - The python bindings generator

https://github.com/Tolc-Software/frontend.wasm - The WebAssembly bindings generator

https://github.com/Tolc-Software/Parser - The C++ parser

It is dual licensed with AGPL and, if someone wants, a commercial license as well.

Would be cool if someone finds it useful!

The emulator: https://rpcs3.net/ The rom: https://vimm.net/vault/24833 I forget if you need anything else but finding a video on YouTube is not very hard for rpcs3, a bit complicated, sorry I can't remember how to do it all, it's been a while.

What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. There are other methods for bypassing gyro, such as emulating gyro (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator) or modifying your saves to skip past mandatory gyro sections of the game (PasteBin link for a tutorial). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

RPCS3 (PlayStation 3) Emulator: https://rpcs3.net/

it's the same issue as here: https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/13031

Finally, there is a sizeable catalog of PlayStation 3 games that support 3D, which you can output in SBS using the RPCS3 emulator. Their resolution is quite low but the stereo effect can still be impressive. Note that normally only half SBS is supported, but some games might have a community patch for widescreen resolutions, in which case full SBS might be possible. Make sure to set Configuration -> GPU -> 3D to "Side-by-side" before starting a game. This will tell the game that you are connected to a 3D display, in which case it would have an in-game option to enable stereoscopic 3D. You might also need to set the aspect ratio to 4:3. I can confirm that Prince of Persia Trilogy 3D works nicely. Note that you need a fairly beefy gaming rig to emulate PlayStation 3 well!
