The RPCS3 community has been hard at work creating new patches, and we've created a new patch manager to help easily download and use them. Resolution scaling of up to 10k is now possible in God of War 3, God of War: Ascension, Killzone 3, Sly Cooper Thieves in Time and more thanks to these patches. This was made possible by disabling MLAA (Morphological Anti-Aliasing), which also greatly improved performance in many titles as shown in the video.

High frame-rates in many titles which were previously locked to 30FPS is also now possible thanks to community patches, some patches even allow for completely uncapped frame-rates! Other patch highlights include being able to disable Motion Blur, increase FOV, skip intro scenes, disable HUD elements and much more.

We want to give a huge thanks to Megamouse for creating the new Patch Manager. HerrHulaHoop for maintaining our wiki where the patches are located, Ani for creating the api to download patches from the wiki. illusion, ZEROx and Whatcookie for creating the patches seen in the video, and the community for creating other patches as well.

While patches may indeed be hacks, RPCS3's focus is always going to be accuracy. Rest assured that our developers are still working hard in that regard. To that end; patches downloaded through the patch manager are not allowed to circumvent emulator crashes/freezes. Those patches will remain on our wiki's canary page which people can only use by visiting that page manually. https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Game_Patches/Canary Our goal here is to simply make it easier for the community to share and use patches.
