PS3 RPCS3 (PS3 Emulator) - February 2019 Progress Report - Support for additional Accessories!

The PS3 saw different Controller Designs and additional Accessories within it's life cycle. The early readers from this Site can probably remember how Sony themselves presented a "boomerang-styled" Controller back at E3 2005, which (sadly?) never saw a release. But as for nearly every Console, there were Game Titles, which supported to be played with additional Accessoires, sometimes they were even mandatory. Either you wanted to play specific Game Titles where a webcam tracked your motion moving by displaying it in-Game, you wanted to get better and faster Results with a Steering Wheel while Racing with other Players online with some fancy Cars, or maybe you really thought you can actually sing (which you can't of course :) ) so you played with some Microphones to sing various Songs in karaoke. But whichever of those mentioned Accessoires you prefered, maybe you want to use them as well when you want to emulate those Game Titles on your PC! How you might ask? Don't worry. This is one of many Improvements which this months Progress Report from the Great Team behind the RPCS3 Emulator is about. So better grab your old Guitar-Controllers and "Let's Rock'n'Roll!" :cool2:

  • Progress Report: February 2019
    Thanks to GalCiv/RipleyTom implementing support for guitar and drum peripherals Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and Track Packs like "AC/DC Live: Rock Band" and "Rock Band Classic Rock Track Pack" are now playable! This also helped improve other games such as Guitar Hero!

    This month saw RPCS3 reach another milestone in game compatibility with the Ingame and Playable categories cumulatively crossing 85%! This was largely thanks to the conscious efforts of testers to retest all games in Intro, Loadable and Nothing categories and report issues faced to the developers. Once provided relevant causes, our developers were able to fix issues plaguing many of these titles. Their efforts paid off with the Intro category decreasing by 66 titles. But this is just the beginning, with further work being done to improve these titles.
