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