<p>
The hardware requirements for running the emulator vary depending on your current configuration. We have listed the minimum and recommend hardware requirements below. For the best experience, users should be running within the recommended requirements. We cannot guarantee the performance of system specifications below the recommended requirements but you're always welcome to experiment.

<h2>Laptop PC Requirements</h2>
</div>
<div class="container-tx2-block darkmode-txt">
<p>
We recommend using a laptop equipped with an <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">8-core/16-thread</span> 35W+ H-series CPU such as an Intel Core i7-10870H or an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, as well as having a compatible <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">dedicated GPU (dGPU)</span> with Vulkan compatibility. While being a tall order, this is the ideal spec and we cannot guarantee even remotely good performance with laptops equipped with as little as 4-cores.<br>
<br>
We strongly recommend using RPCS3 with a desktop PC over a laptop. Should you want to use a laptop, these are the hardware requirements for an optimal experience.

<h2>Software Requirements</h2>

<p>
The software requirements for running the emulator must be met in order for the software to function at all. The PlayStation 3 system software is required because it is utilized to load system files for the emulator such as the PlayStation 3's proprietary system libraries. Linux and FreeBSD based operating systems do not require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable.<br>
<br>
<span class="context-important">Please note - </span> A 64-bit operating system is required. Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 are supported as well as Linux, FreeBSD and macOS.<br>

<h2>Installing RPCS3 Updates</h2>

<p>
RPCS3 features an auto-updater which will prompt you if you want to update after loading the emulator. You can either accept, deny or disable updates all together if you wish, though it is not recommended to disable updates due to the volume of fixes that roll out each day. In the instance that you need to update RPCS3 manually, you can follow the following instructions:

</div>
<div class="guide-tx1-heading darkmode-txt">

For Windows users, download and extract the latest build then drag and drop all files into your RPCS3 root directory, overwriting all files when prompted.

<h2>Installing RPCS3 PlayStation 3 Firmware</h2>
</div>
<div class="container-tx2-block darkmode-txt">
<p>
Due to legal reasons, we cannot distribute official PlayStation 3 firmware files. You must download the latest PlayStation 3 firmware update file from <a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/">PlayStation.com</a> for use with RPCS3. Once downloaded, you must install the firmware using RPCS3's built in firmware installer found under <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">File > Install Firmware.</span><br>
<br>
By default, firmware modules are loaded automatically based on the PlayStation 3 title that is loaded. You can still override automatic module loading and choose which firmware modules you want to use manually. Manually overriding firmware modules is not recommended.

<h2>Managing PlayStation 3 Game Data</h2>
</div>
<div class="container-tx2-block darkmode-txt">
<p>
Due to legal reasons, PlayStation 3 titles cannot be distributed online and must be self-dumped from your own PlayStation 3 console or from your computer using a compatible Blu-ray drive.
</p>
<br>
<p>
Both Blu-ray and PlayStation Network titles (PSN) must be placed into a single folder with their respective files and the folder name must correspond to the title's ID. If you are not sure what your dumped title's region ID is, you can find your region ID on the bottom side-edge of your game case. If you are no longer in possession of your title's game case or your title is only accessible through PSN, you can do an internet search for <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">"Your game name here</span> + <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">region ID"</span>. Please note that it is very important that you use the correct region ID. <br>
</p>
<br>
<p>
Typical layout of a Blu-ray disc title's directory: <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">PS3_GAME folder, PS3_DISC.sfb, PS3_UPDATE folder (not required)</span>

Typical layout of a PSN title's directory: <span class="highlight darkmode-highlight">TROPDIR folder, USRDIR folder, ICON0.png, PARAM.sfo, etc</span>

<h2>Dumping with a PlayStation 3</h2>
</div>
<div class="container-tx2-block">
<p>
We recommend that you dump your own PlayStation 3 titles from your own console. This is the most compatible way to migrate your disc-based titles and the only way to dump digital titles to your PC. To do this, you will need a PlayStation 3 system with custom firmware.<br>
<br>
For dumping disc-based games, you need to use multiMAN homebrew software in order to dump your disc files. You can transfer those files over to a computer through an external drive or using a FTP connection between your PlayStation 3 and your computer.<br>
<br>
<i>Note: The PlayStation 3 has a maximum file size of 4GB. When dumping games which contain files bigger than 4GB, multiMAN will split those files. When you have your dump over on your computer, you must rejoin the split files back together with part merging software such as <a href="http://karmian.org/projects/ps3merge">ps3merge</a>, otherwise the dump will not work.</i><br>
<br>
For dumping digital games, you must copy the game folder from dev_hdd0/game/GameID on your console over to the same path on your RPCS3 folder. You also need to get your console's IDPS, the game's RIF and ACT.DAT, in order to generate a .RAP license file to be used in the emulator.<br>
It is also possible to dump digital content and licenses on <i>any</i> PS3 even without custom firmware, by the way of creating a system backup, and then extracting it with ps3xport software.

<h2>Dumping with a Desktop PC</h2>
</div>
<div class="container-tx2-block">
<p>
You can dump titles using your computer by using select compatible Blu-ray drives. Please note that you can only use this method if a .ird file is available online for the decryption of the disc. Not every Blu-ray drive will recognize PlayStation 3 titles due to how PlayStation 3 format discs are designed. Requirements for a Blu-Ray drive to be able to fully read PlayStation 3 discs are: Mediatek chipset and a +6 read offset.

If you're comfortable with the Linux command-line and you have a compatible Blu-ray drive, you can try ripping PlayStation 3 discs using a Python program called <a href="https://notabug.org/necklace/libray" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LibRay</a>.
</p>
<p>
Do note that this method requires an .ird file that matches your title ID to be available on <a href="https://ps3.aldostools.org/ird.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ps3.aldostools.org/ird</a>. (LibRay will automatically attempt to download the correct .ird file, if it exists, so you do not need to do so manually.) If a matching .ird file is not present, please try the PS3 Disc Dumper mentioned below.
