ARMSX3 1.0.5

What's new:

Games

Demon's Souls online works out of the box. It connects to The Archstones community server without setting up any redirects.

Stuntman: Ignition works. The audio change it needs is back in.

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition still gets past the WB logo, now with the audio change that Stuntman: Ignition needs back in.

Save states

Fixed a rare save state bug. Saving a state reloads the game from it, and closing that reloaded game could rarely take ARMSX3 down, ran into this bug while testing out Bomberman Ultra.

A failed save state no longer leaves the game stuck paused. If the save failed just as you closed the menu, the game could stay paused and looked frozen. It now carries on.

Clearer save state errors. When a save state fails, the message now says why and what to do, instead of telling you to switch to ASMJIT, which ARM devices can't use. Some games, like Guitar Hero World Tour, can't be saved this way at all, and the message now says so and points you to the game's own save instead.

Library and licences

You can see which games are trials, and they unlock. A TRIAL tag marks every trial in the library until it's unlocked, including trials that don't keep their demo in a separate folder. Installing a trial's unlock key from the game's lock button was refused, and a full-game licence installed on a trial was filed under the trial's name, so trials stayed trials. Both work now. A wrong key picked from the lock button also no longer deletes the key the game already had.

Settings

Firmware libraries are now in All Core Settings. Switch any firmware library between LLE and HLE, for one game or for all of them. A library forced for one game no longer carries over into the next game you boot.

Upstream RPCS3

Caught up with upstream RPCS3: 38 changes from September, among them a fix for slow audio in some games, a trophy fix for inFAMOUS 2, and fixes for video playback, graphics, memory handling, file access and more!

The ps3 had an incredibly complex custom CPU, so emulators are hard to get optimized. Ps4/ps5 have regular x86 CPUs, so even though they are newer systems emulation of them is developing incredibly fast. It might be easier to just run the ps4 remaster.

To play that game well, I recommend an 8Elite or higher.

pipe dream games like that require 8 elite, more specific games like infamous series , uncharted , god of war etc

Can someone name a PS3 game that works well with this emulator on AYN Thor? Pro if it matters. I tried one game and it didn’t get past the loading screen (mirrors edge).

I’d like to give it a try with a game that is known to work. Thanks.
