BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend on a Windows 11 PC via the RPCS3 0.0.34-17498 PS3 emulator at 4K / UHD / 60 FPS. Download the latest version of the emulator here: https://rpcs3.net/

RPCS3 is currently available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD operating systems.

As I have done for other consoles, I decided to start a project to test out every English PS3 physically released/retail disc games (mainly focusing on NTSC-U region, but I will be testing other region's exclusive games as long as they are in English and perhaps a few others not in English if they are highly regarded and seem interesting to me). I will be testing games in alphabetical order. I will be rendering the games in 4K (some games at lower resolution if they run poorly at 4K on my PC) via the RPCS3 emulator. The PS3 is one of my favorite consoles, so I am stoked to do this project!

Note that at this time not all PS3 games are compatible with the RPCS3 emulator, but the awesome RPCS3 devs are constantly working to make more games playable.

For my standard testing, I only change around a few of the emulator's default settings. Here's what I do:

Settings / GPU
Resolution Scale (Disable Strict Mode): 300% (3840x2160) -- i.e. 4K rendering
Output Scaling: FidelityFX Super Resolution (I leave the RCAS Sharpening Strength at the default 50%)
Vsync: Checked/on

Settings / Advanced
Exclusive Fullscreen Mode: Prefer exclusive fullscreen (I get more stutters if it is set to borderless)

Settings / Emulator
Show PPU compilation hint: Unchecked/off (I just don't like it popping up on the screen)
Show shader compilation hint: Unchecked/off (same reason as above)

Some games require more adjustments to get them to work. See my comment for this video for the details.
