   Complete roms collection with fast bandwith

   You just have to register and get full access to an exhaustive list of roms. They post a report of antivirus scan, never see that before. Only the emulators are missing.

   👍 Pros:    Full of roms|Security disclaimer and report

   👎 Cons:    Need to create an account|No emulators|Anyone can upload

• Help!

  I do not believe Xenia requires a BIOS, haven't messed with it in years, it was pretty terrible the last time I tried it. Short of buying a faster internet connection no. You might find the games you're looking for on theromdepot it's usually much faster than Internet Archive, but they don't have everything (requires you to make a free acc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Retro emulator console

  There's a ton of them, some easier to access than others. https://theromdepot.com/ is fast and has complete sets for NES SNES and Genesis, and allows ftp access for batch downloads, it does requires a free account though. https://vimm.net/ is slower, dosen't allow ftp access, but they have a large archive, and don't require an account. https://archive.org/ has most everything but it's a chore to sort through...

• Picked this up at a local game store today for $24 CAN. After playing PoOT I'm kinda hooked on them, gonna order FoMT off of Amazon soon

  After you have your emulator of choice installed you have to download the rom for the game you want to play. My go to site for that the last few years has been the rom depot. Source: over 2 years ago

• Idk if anyone's done a one-handed hitless run of the game or anything crazy like that, and this is 100% not that (i get hit A LOT on these runs) but Im still pretty proud of this.

  The emulator: https://rpcs3.net/ The rom: https://vimm.net/vault/24833 I forget if you need anything else but finding a video on YouTube is not very hard for rpcs3, a bit complicated, sorry I can't remember how to do it all, it's been a while. Source: 5 months ago

• A Comprehensive Guide to Methods for Playing the Sly Cooper Games

  What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... Or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note... Source: 5 months ago

• Rokid Max Review and Many Tips

  Finally, there is a sizeable catalog of PlayStation 3 games that support 3D, which you can output in SBS using the RPCS3 emulator. Their resolution is quite low but the stereo effect can still be impressive. Note that normally only half SBS is supported, but some games might have a community patch for widescreen resolutions, in which case full SBS might be possible. Make sure to set Configuration -> GPU -> 3D to... Source: 10 months ago

• Local Co-op Action RPGs on PC

  Platform: PS3, Xbox360 ans Switch. No local multiplayer on PC (booo). Plays "ok" on RPCS3. Haven't tested on Xbox360. Plays great on RyujinX though ! Source: 10 months ago

• Do you think the Switch is THE console that will finally let you keep your stuff?

  There are more PlayStation exclusives on Steam than not, with emulation being a viable option for those few games that aren't. Also, Chiaki exists for streaming from a PS4/PS5 to a PC like a Steam Deck. Source: 10 months ago
