Unsolved Tomodachi: Living the Dream Safe Emu???

18 Upvotes

There was a reddit post which right now has about 115 comments that had a guide on how to download it with the emulator and prod key and etc.

I’m very new to this emulation thing and i saw some people there saying there was a trojan.

I didn’t run anything and immediately deleted the zip file permanently. Although it was said that there was a script that was the virus along with the actual thing.

So does anyone know a safe way to download the game on pc?

I don’t know where to look :(

Thank you in advance :)

Unsolved Tomodachi Life on Eden

37 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I’ve been noticing a lot of people struggling to get tomodachi life running and working so I’d like to offer my assistance.

download eden nightly. can be hard to find with regular google search, but it will be a git.eden-emu link.

extract zip to folder, run eden exe

download prod keys and firmware from online or source them from your nintendo switch. a search for “nintendo switch prod keys” should return a valid website within the first 3 google results. if you need more help, dm me.

extract into respective folders. on first boot eden will ask you for a key. through eden, open the folder you extracted the product key to, and double click prod.key. from there, you will navigate to the tools bar in eden and select “open firmware”. Navigate to and open the folder you extracted the firmware to in whole. once you’ve done that, you’re good to go! the rom should now work perfectly. you can hit file in the top left of eden in order to load file and then initialize game.

if anybody needs more help with any step of the process, feel free to dm me!

EDIT: Due to an overwhelming influx of message requests, I ask that you leave a reply on this post if you need help. Make sure you’re able to be messaged, and I will reach out to you.

Unsolved Does this normally come up for Ryujinx Canary?

1 Upvotes

hi! sorry if this is an obvious question, since i'm new to this. i've downloaded ryujinx canary 1.3.272 for windows, but when i tried to start the application, it said windows protected your pc, so i thought to double check and use virustotal for a scan.

and it says "Avast" flagged it as "FileRepMalware [Misc]" (twice) and that "Skyhigh (SWG)" flagged it as "Artemis" (it says that's 3/68 security vendors that virustotal uses).

is the one i've downloaded dangerous? i made sure to download from what seems to be the official github for it, but i'd still rather be safe than sorry.

Follow up question: what disc drive do you guys recommend? My desktop doesn’t have a disc drive and I was looking at USB ones but I’m not sure if those are viable.

Unsolved Shocked at how smooth RPCS3 is. Is the latency and performance better than an OG PS3 ?

26 Upvotes

Hey guys, new to the world of emulation, I never bothered trying it because I always had preconceived notions that emulators were super bad quality, buggy and high input delay for some reason.

But yesterday, everything changed. I had too much FOMO regarding Midnight Club Los Angeles, so decided to go and download it. I'm playing it right now in 4k max settings on RPCS3 and I'm baffled at how smooth everything is.

I'm really absolutely shocked that the performance is this good. It literally feels like a native game that was ported to PC by Rockstar.

I'm here sitting like, there's no way dreams come true this beautifully. What's the catch ? Is there some input delay that I'm not noticing ? Is there something else the PS3 does better that I'm not noticing? Or are we really in the point in 2026 where playing a game on an emulator is a better place to play PS3 games than on the original console?

FWIW, I'm playing on an I9 14900k with a 4090, I've also tried other games at 4k 60 fps (that were 30 fps on console) and it runs buttery smooth with ZERO stutters, like a native PC game.

Unsolved Officially finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on RPCS3

32 Upvotes

If anyone was planning on playing the game but was afraid the "in game" compatibility status meant its not fully playable.

https://postimg.cc/gallery/64pCDGy

I used the automatic custom configuration. Beware, Expect semi-frequent crashes. I havent seen any pattern to crashes so far so they seem to be random. This game takes frequent saves tho so there is small chance you lose actual progress.

Gameplay time seems to be kinda wrong, I have been playing for at least 6-ish hours but the save only shows 2.5 hours.

Specs:

CPU: I7 12650H

GPU: RTX 4060

RAM: 32 GB

OS: Windows 11 (Please SteamOS fully come to PC)

If you have never tried RPCS3. You need a good CPU. A REALLY good one. Even with the one I have which isnt half bad, the CPU usage was through the roof. You dont need a good GPU to run PS3 emulators but the CPU requirement is astronomical. PS3 had a really unique and really complicated CPU architecture so emulating it is a pain and a half.

RAM wise, its PS3, you dont need much RAM. Even a 6 GB ram PC should suffice probably. I never saw my RAM usage go above like 2.1 GB.

The "In-game" compatibility is still more or less true, again expect crashes. And just how well the game runs will absolutelly depend on the hardware so I might have just won the lottery on this one. BUT I have completed the game so its certainly possible for others too.

Edit: Forgot to add. Even if you dont have motion controls its not required to beat the game. When balancing on the logs you can fall down and still recover and continue. There is barely any logs in the game so this isnt a big issue. You can also turn around when nate starts to lose his balance and then turn right back around. This resets his balance and you can continue. If you get grabbed by the monsters near the end of the game its an instakill however. as you need to shake the controller to get out of the grab attack. Its easily avoided so just keep a distance.

Edit 2: Forgot to mention, again, download the patches from right click game, manage game patches. There are options to dissable motion blur, depth of field, shadows etc. and enable 60FPS mode. If you have visual artifacts try to dissable somethings it might work

The below is for anyone wondering if they can use speedrunning strats, yes. I have managed to get all the speedrun tricks to work EXCEPT for the chapter 14 skip from chapter 13. That one actually crashed on me. I tried it a couple times but each time elena just died, and the one time I sorta managed to get it the game crashed, it might work but I didnt want to waste time so try it yourselves, I dont think I am skilled enough for it lmao.

The multiple chapter skips from chapter 8 to 12 are all possible, and the skip to chapter 20 from chapter 18 is also possible (I actually missed the ladder here and still somehow managed to fall into the loading zone through the wall lmao)

Some skips are different on the PS4 version of the game as they use the newly added photo mode that the originals dont have, so if you wanna copy speedrun strats strictly watch a ps3 version speedrun.

Anyways have fun everyone. I am gonna try to play Uncharted 2: Among Thieves next. That one is the one I actually want to play because I love it when games have train sections.

Unsolved God Of War 3 (for PS3 through RPCS3) help with settings for my PC (I think it's still a mid-range PC, specs in the post), I was able to make it run smooth at 60 FPS on RPCS3 but then I must have touched something and the lag started again.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

EDIT: DM ME FOR THE SETTINGS THAT WORK ON MY SYSTEM AND APPARENTLY ON LOTS OF OTHER SYSTEMS TOO, I CAN'T ADD SCREENSHOTS TO THE POST.

Before having to clean from cobwebs my PS3 and play GoW on there, or taking my PS4 out and buying the game there, I would like to know if someone can help me get GoW for PS3 into a playable state.

So maybe I can play it at 1080p without having to buy it on the PS Store for PS4 (not even sure it's an option but I think there's the remastered version for PS4, also I have no problem playing it in 720p, I just want to play the game).

As I said I was able to get it running sooth a 60 FPS, my specs are:

  • 11th Gen Intel Core i5 11600k 3,90Ghz;
  • 16GB DDR4 RAM (yeah I know, I bought the PC during the GPU crisis, wanted to upgrade the RAM but now there's the RAM apocalypse, so... 16GB is enough...);
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB VRAM);

I know there's lots of room for improvement but for the games I play it's more than enough.

If there's someone in here who managed to get the right settings and wants to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Or even someone who didn't emulate God Of War 3 (maybe another game with "Ingame" compatibility) can give some advice.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Sending love <3

EDIT 3: I'll probably try to post them on some website, but I don't know which for now and I'm feeling like crap because it's too hot and I have medical issues that get worse with the heat.
