That means users no longer need to figure out if their game(s) need this option enabled as the setting has been removed from the GPU tab, making it easier to configure RPCS3! This also fixed an issue with Ni No Kuni where shadows would sometimes follow the camera around.Īfter flash-fire’s Page Fault Implementation changes were merged, many Unity games progressed further or even became fully playable! More notably however, all Gran Turismo games progressed from nothing to loadable! Future progress is cautiously optimistic as overall emulation is improved. The rsx now correctly clears buffer contents when required and the workaround is no longer necessary. After reworking the framebuffer check to accept empty framebuffer descriptors as long as a depth surface was active, the option was no longer needed. Jarves found a check that discarded clear commands when the framebuffer was determined to be in a disabled state, and discovered that disabling it sent the missing clear command down the pipeline correctly. A workaround was needed to circumvent this issue while we investigated why the buffer contents were not cleared.

There were instances where it was obvious a depth buffer should have been reset but the contents were still present long after the frame was completed. This option was a workaround on missing buffer invalidate commands on rsx. Even though it does some things differently (memory is shared between GPU and CPU, for example), it should be much easier to translate than the PS3's notoriously complex Cell processor.This is very much a Work In Progress: there will be design and functionality improvements in the coming months.įixed clear commands for depth only passesīy fixing this, kd-11 removed the need for the Invalidate Cache Every Frame option which was a workaround used to fix graphics (mostly shadows) in certain games. The PS4's x86 architecture is essentially the same as a modern PC's. There are reasons to be optimistic here, though: RPCSX is being led by the same programmer who started RPCS3, with a couple other longtime RPCS3 contributors also on board. Since RPCSX is just getting started, it could be a year or more before games so much as boot, let alone run smoothly. RPCS3 has been in development for a decade, and still 30% of the games in the PS3's library "either can't be finished, have serious glitches or have insufficient performance" in the emulator. It's also unknown when it will become possible," says the Github page. "This is an experimental emulator for PS4 written in C++ for Linux.


There are several reasons to temper your expectations here, including the fact that RPCSX currently isn't being built for Windows.
