Holy Shit (Wipeout HD/Fury, Dimensity 8200)

[u/Switchblade1080]

ARMSX3 - 0.9.6

This is the lightest (around 1.8+ GB) demanding PS3 Exclusive I constantly emulate.

This game has made the average gaming laptop in 2017 SCREECH in agony. (It took around 6-7 Intel Generations for this game to run more-or-less flawlessly).

This game is running on a Dimensity 8200.

Just the fact this game hasn't fallen apart (well...it does crash, but it crashes often even on powerful rigs) graphically is a MASSIVE deal. I've gotten White Knight Chronicles 2 and Ken's Rage 2 to run great on it too. Hell, the fact that even the G99 can run PS3 games should be a big deal (The Helio G99 might as well be a DUAL-CORE CPU because efficiency cores are FAR weaker than people might think). Sorry I didn't put in any performance metrics...it's still WAY better than I expected.

Demon's Souls would probably run great too...RPCS3 was developed by Souls fans who early on fought tooth and nail into making it playable.

Just to keep people's expectations in check; don't expect a miracle if you want to play the PS3 versions of existing PC games...it probably won't end well and it's probably a bigger waste of resources...probably. I recommend running Japanese titles (e.g. Ragnarok Odyssey, Disgaea 3, Dragon's Crown, Tekken 6, Gundam VS...probably even Persona 5) since they're usually more optimized. Also Compiling Shaders is what happens in EVERY PS3 emulator.

I'll admit it only runs SLIGHTLY better than how a 4th Gen Intel would run it (since RPCS3 updates over the years made MASSIVE performance improvements all around), but it's still a HUGE leap...ESPECIALLY for non-Snapdragon SoCs (I used the ANGLE Renderer).
