4K gameplay with the Trilogy (PS3) version

[Deathly Karma]

OMFG! These DLC's were the only reason I wanted an Xbox, great job GFY2013 on the videos. Could you tell me where I put (--protect_zero=false), because I'm looking on Github and I can't seem to find anything about how to add it.

Thank you!

Create a shortcut, properties, and next to target add that! Or you can change it in the config file as well, so you don't have to run it through the shortcut. Also be sure to use Canary build. (Honestly I didn't try the other one but I did these with the Canary build Jan 29.)

I can say more about RPCS3 though: it has a TSX instructions setting that is only available on Intel CPUs, but don't know if it affects performance at all. Also at least 8 threads are required to run some light games even, if you want more heavy games then 12 threads are the minimum. (You can try running them etc, but performance will be heavily limited)
I'm on 12 threads myself, I haven't had any problems, performance is great. My poor 1600X has seen some stuff in his 3 yrs.

who knew those console system were that complex.

On other games the game speeds up, then you have to decrease the clock to slow it down, that's when physics start to break, if I understand correctly. These games' clock always stay at their initial, 100% value. (Unless you want to try it slowed down, or run it faster.)

That's interesting. The PC versions of the LAU trilogy only work well up to 85 FPS (probably because 85 Hz was pretty common in CRT monitors). If you go over that then the phyics don't work right and for example in TRU the little blocks that you have to put onto pressure plates will fly around once you drop them which makes the game unbeatable.

Unfortunately I don't know any technical details. I'm sure the system is complex of course, but the PS3's specs is not beefy at all. Emulating all hardware components/layers is what's really difficult.

Really? I haven't even seen that. I will check it out in the emulator, and report back if it's there. I haven't seen anything weird yet though.

Some TRA comparisons:

big
Both were at 2x resolution scale. (2560x1440 rendered image, presented at 1080p) RPCS3 was way smoother.

This is gorgeous, ugh it just makes me want to continue my HD project Thanks for posting all your screenshots and details!

PS3 version. It's generally claimed that the PS3 version is the best looking ...

@GFY2013: Thanks for sharing your setting. The game does look gorgeous, but that constant shader loading is driving me crazy. I assume there isn't a way to pre-compile them?

Unfortunately not. I also don't know if sharing shader caches are alright, cause maybe it will be different per GPU. (But it is possible on Cemu, Yuzu etc but dunno about here, I've never seen people share them)

Either way, we could try. Link to my TRA shader cache. Definitely not 100%, but has some areas.
Extract the shader cache folder into: RPCS3_dir/cache/BLES01195/ppu-[tra-ppu-hash]-EBOOT.BIN/.

Now, since I dont have any updates installed on the TR Trilogy, your TRA hash and my TRA hash might be different. Mine is though:

ppu-ehi3R4ygFz0gdGMcLCEPQ5bSN1TG-EBOOT.BIN (this is the folder. The PPU hash is the whole thing without the -EBOOT.BIN.)

Thanks! I'll try them out on my next day off
