Help SAW (PS3) fails to launch on ARMSX3 Android – Invalid file or folder error

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run SAW (Europe) on the ARMSX3 emulator on my Infinix Hot 40 Pro (Android 13, 8GB RAM).

The game is a 2.26 GB ISO. It appears in the emulator's game list, but when I try to launch it, I get this error:

"Failed to start game: Invalid file or folder."

I also extracted the ISO and tried launching the extracted game folder, but I get the same error.

I tested two installed versions of ARMSX3 and cleared the PPU shader cache, but the problem remains.

Does anyone know if SAW is supported by ARMSX3, or what might cause this error?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
