  • rpcs3

    PS3 emulator/debugger

  • Project mention: Idk if anyone's done a one-handed hitless run of the game or anything crazy like that, and this is 100% not that (i get hit A LOT on these runs) but Im still pretty proud of this. | /r/shittydarksouls | 2023-12-10

    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.

  • dolphin

    Dolphin is a GameCube / Wii emulator, allowing you to play games for these two platforms on PC with improvements.

  • Project mention: Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-07

    Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities.

  • Project mention: Do the PS2 versions work on PS3? | /r/Slycooper | 2023-12-10

    Idk what you might be doing wrong, and I'm not in the tutorial business, but I highly recommend giving the latest version of PCSX2 and a random YouTube tutorial another shot, it's gonna be a lot easier than jailbreaking your PS3. Either way good luck have fun.

    I would need a few more zeros to motivate me to do this, but one viable approach I'll throw out there is use CEmu to validate equations. From the math side, you can start with the real equation, transform, approximate, and invert approach. For instance, for certain types of simple line drawings you can turn them into equations by: (on a real computer)
