The PS2 is the best-selling video game console of all time, having sold over 155 million units worldwide, as confirmed by Sony. A sixth-generation console, it competed with Sega's Dreamcast, Nintendo's GameCube, and Microsoft's original Xbox.Īnnounced in 1999, the PS2 offered backward-compatibility for its predecessor's DualShock controller, as well as its games. It was first released in Japan on March 4, 2000, in North America on October 26, 2000, and in Europe and Australia on November 24, 2000, and is the successor to the original PlayStation, as well as the second installment in the PlayStation console line-up. You can join the discussion on RPCS3 being able to run all shipped PS3 games on the OC3D Forums.The PlayStation 2 (officially branded as PS2) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. We look forward to seeing RPCS3’s development reach even greater heights. The team behind RPCS3 has done a great job getting this far with their emulator. The system’s Cell architecture is difficult to understand and even harder to replicate on PCs through emulation. Sony’s PlayStation 3 console is arguably the company’s most complex console. Many PS3 classics are already playable on RPCS3 with higher framerates and higher resolutions than on PlayStation 3 hardware, making PC the best place to replay many of the system’s classics.

The emulator’s list of playable games will grow, and the emulator’s performance is also likely to improve as the PlayStation 3 is more accurately and efficiently replicated through RPCS3. In time, the RPCS3 emulator will only become more compatible with PlayStation 3 games. PS3 emulation will only get better from here This work should make RPCS3 more accurate and should help more games reach playable status, which is great news for all RPCS3 fans.

These games cannot get past their menus and these games cannot reach gameplay, so moving forward the RPCS3 team will be working to make these games reach the “ingame” stage of emulator support, there gameplay is supported. Today, 3.42% of PS3 games are at the “Intro” support stage, which means that these games boot and display and image when loaded within RPCS3.
