Hello everyone,

Tl;dr : As the title suggests, this is a test run of Dante’s Inferno Ps3 version played on RPCS3 emulator from start to finish.

Now for those who want to read and of course the moderators:

It took some time, I apologize for that, been quite busy, but as I promised, this is the first full test run of Dante’s Inferno on RPCS3. The game doesn’t crash, from start to finish. The game runs smoothly and there are no issues when it comes to gameplay. It constantly runs at 60FPS, cutscenes are locked at 30 FPS.

My config is

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-13700KF

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

RAM : 32 GB DDR5 5200mhz

I tested the game on older PC as well; Intel core i5-6500, with 4 cores and 4 threads, integrated graphics and 8 GBs of ram, it works just fine.

A reminder that RPCS3 relies on your CPU. The higher your frequency, cores and threads, the better performance you get. But usually, any mid-range PC nowadays can run it without issues.

There’s a minor nuisance though, there’s a known graphical glitch in certain cutscenes where Beatrice and Lucifer are together. The emulator doesn’t render them correctly. If you wanna see that, go to timestamp “00:02:47” in the video, you’ll see what I’m talking about. This includes all cutscenes that have these two together. The moment they go away, all other cutscenes render just fine. I think it’s a matter of time till RPCS3 team fixes this. They’ve really made huge progress. Especially with heavy games like GOW 3 and other PS3 exclusives.

For save states for practice purposes, last time I explained how they work, there’s some news. There’s some progress concerning that. Now you can savestate the game upon pressing “Control+S” without closing the emulator, you’ll have to wait for 20 to 30 secs, depending on your hardware, the emulator will save your state, and reload the game where you saved. It’s good news and all, but there’s a problem, if you SS many times, the emulator is bound to crash at some point. I found a workaround for this, always make true saves from the game before SS, then go to the place or skip you wanna practice at, and then SS there. So, even if that save state got corrupted, you’d still be able to load the game normally and make another clean save state. I believe save states will be fully functional very soon. It’s only a matter of time at this point.

I'll put the rest of my thread in the comment section below. It's telling me " body is too long" .

Hello

As the title suggests. Is there gonna be a segmented run category like in the original RE 4 leaderboard ?
