Automatic firmware installation

The first time the rpcs3 emulator is launched, if the PS3UPDAT.PUP file is present in you \bios folder, the emulator will automatically prompt to install the firmware, once the firmware installed you can close and relaunch the game.

Manual firmware installation

Run rpcs3.exe file in \emulators\rpcs3 folder and install firmware

Select the PS3UPDAT.PUP and run firmware installation.

Firmware will appear at the bottom of the emulator:

Controls

The following controllers can be autoconfigured from Retrobat to RPCS3:

  • XInput controllers

  • Dualshock & DualSense controllers

  • Nintendo Switch Pro controller

Pressure sensitivity

RPCS3 can manage pressure sensitivity only with a genuine Dualshock (or sisaxis) controller.

You need to install DsHidMini drivers to handle PS3 controller, as described here:

File locations

Data
Path (relative to retrobat root path)

dev_hdd0

saves\ps3\rpcs3\dev_hdd0

config file

emulators\rpcs3\config.yml

gui config file

emulators\rpcs3\GuiConfigs\CurrentSettings.ini

Controller configuration file

emulators\rpcs3\config\input_configs\global\Default.yml

To use the emulators\rpcs3\dev_hdd0 folder instead of the one in "saves", delete the saves\ps3\rpcs3folder. This will tell RetroBat to keep dev_hdd0 inside emulator folder.

Adding PS3 games

There are 2 types of PS3 games available: Blu-Ray discs and PlayStation Network titles (PSN):

  • Title IDs that start with a B are Blu-Ray disc titles.

  • Title IDs that start with a N are PSN titles.

Blu-ray disc titles can be copied directly in the \roms\ps3 folder while PSN titles need to be added in the \saves\ps3\rpcs3\dev_hdd0\game folder of your RetroBat installation.

PSN titles need to be decrypted to be used with RPCS3 emulator.

Adding Blu-ray disc title

Simply copy the game folder to the \roms\ps3 folder of your RetroBat installation and rename the folder with a .ps3 extension:

The game will directly be available in RetroBat.

Adding PSN titles - option 1

Once the game has been added to the emulator from the "Install package" or/and "Add games" menu and the game is working succesfully from the emulator, create a m3u file in the \roms\ps3 folder that points to the EBOOT.BIN file of the game in the \saves\ps3\rpcs3\dev_hdd0\game game folder:

Adding PSN titles - option 2

Create a m3u file and place it in the \roms\ps3 folder.

The m3u file must contain "GAMEID:" followed by the game ID :

The game ID can be found in the emulator game list:

Use emulator game configuration

By default, RetroBat runs games with the RetroBat features defined within RetroBat advanced options menu, thus ignoring any game specific configuration performed directly in RPCS3 emulator.

If you want RetroBat to use a specific game configuration saved directly in rpcs3, enable the following option in RetroBat advanced options: "USE CUSTOM CONFIG"

roms \ ps3

BATGUI tool offers an automatic m3u creation tool. Refer to the section of the wiki.
