RPCS3 - Introducing Online Play via PSN Emulation!
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you! Over the past year, developer GalCiv has been working on a private PSN server replacement called RPCN. This is a free and open source private server that can act as PSN, written in Rust.
This server code, along with the hefty amount of improvements made to RPCS3 enables users to play in multiplayer and co-op modes in games that don't require a custom server in addition to PSN, or already have one. One such example for the latter would be Demon's Souls, which now fully works in multiplayer with RPCN as the private PSN server and DeSSE (by ymgve) as the private DeS custom server, with every feature intact.
It should be noted however that RPCN is far from being finished yet, so only a very small number of games work at the moment. In our current testing, Bomberman Ultra and Demon's Souls are the only ones that work reliably, but hopefully the community will discover others that work well too!
