Welcome to RPCS3, the world's first open-source PlayStation 3 emulator.

Before starting your support request:

• Read the Quickstart Guide.
  • Watching video tutorials or reading guides elsewhere doesn't count, as the majority of those provide incorrect instructions and quickly get outdated.
• Check if your system matches RPCS3's requirements.
  • No, you can't assume it will work just because you run other emulators or PC native games. Read the System Requirements.
• Make sure you're using the latest RPCS3 build.
  • No support is provided for outdated or custom RPCS3 builds.
• Check if your drivers are up-to-date.
  • Always make sure your GPU drivers are up-to-date before proceeding.
• Pack up your log file.
  • DO NOT send us copy paste or screenshot from the emulator's log window. This will grant you a warning. We need the full log file as described below.
  • Use a compressing tool such as 7-Zip to compress the RPCS3.log file to a .7z file after closing the emulator.
    • On Windows it will be in the log folder inside your RPCS3 folder.
    • On Linux (yes, that includes SteamOS) it will be in ~/.cache/rpcs3/.
    • On macOS it will be in ~/Library/Caches/rpcs3/.
