The world's first free and open-source PlayStation 3 emulator/debugger, written in C++ for Windows and Linux.
You can find some basic information on our [**website**](https://rpcs3.net/). Game info is being populated on the [**Wiki**](https://wiki.rpcs3.net/).
For discussion about this emulator, PS3 emulation, and game compatibility reports, please visit our [**forums**](https://forums.rpcs3.net) and our [**Discord server**](https://discord.me/RPCS3).

## Contributing
If you want to help the project but do not code, the best way to help out is to test games and make bug reports. See:
* [Quickstart](https://rpcs3.net/quickstart)
If you want to contribute as a developer, please take a look at the following pages:
* [Coding Style](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/wiki/Coding-Style)
* [Developer Information](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/wiki/Developer-Information)
* [Roadmap](https://rpcs3.net/roadmap)
You should also contact any of the developers in the forums or in the Discord server to learn more about the current state of the emulator.
## Dependencies
### Windows
* [Visual Studio 2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/en/downloads/)
* [Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2017](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572)

* [Qt 5.10+](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/) (Avoid 5.11.1, due to a bug)
**Either add the** `QTDIR` **environment variable, e.g.** `<QtInstallFolder>\5.11.2\msvc2017_64\` **, or use the [Visual Studio Qt Plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TheQtCompany.QtVisualStudioTools-19123)**
### Linux
* [Qt 5.10+](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/) (Avoid 5.11.1, due to a bug)
* GCC 7.3+ or Clang 5.0+
* CMake 3.8.2+
* Debian & Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libopenal-dev libglew-dev zlib1g-dev libedit-dev libvulkan-dev libudev-dev git qt5-default libevdev-dev`
* Arch: `sudo pacman -S glew openal cmake vulkan-validation-layers qt5-base`
* Fedora: `sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel cmake glew glew-devel libatomic libevdev-devel libudev-devel openal-devel qt5-devel vulkan-devel`

## Building
Only Windows and Linux are officially supported for building. However, various other platforms are capable of building RPCS3. Other instructions may be found [here](https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Building).
Clone and initialize the repository:
1) `git clone https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git`
2) `cd rpcs3/`
3) `git submodule update --init`
### Windows
#### Configuring the Qt plugin (if used)
1) Go to the Qt5 menu and edit Qt5 options.
2) Add the path to your Qt installation with compiler e.g. `<QtInstallFolder>\5.11.2\msvc2017_64`.
3) While selecting the rpcs3qt project, go to Qt5->Project Setting and select the version you added.
#### Building the projects
Open `rpcs3.sln`. The recommended build configuration is `Release - LLVM` for all purposes.
You may want to download precompiled [LLVM libs](https://github.com/RPCS3/llvm/releases/download/continuous-master/llvmlibs.7z) and extract to root rpcs3 folder (which contains `rpcs3.sln`), as well as download and extract [additional libs](https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1A2eOMmCO714i0U7J0qI4aEMKnuWl8l_R) to `lib\%CONFIGURATION%-x64\` to speed up compilation time (unoptimised/debug libs are currently not available precompiled).
If you're not using precompiled libs, build the projects in *__BUILD_BEFORE* folder: right-click on every project > *Build*.
`Build > Build Solution`
### Linux
While still in the project root:
1) `cd .. && mkdir rpcs3_build && cd rpcs3_build`
2) `cmake ../rpcs3/ && make GitVersion && make`
3) Run RPCS3 with `./bin/rpcs3`
When using GDB, configure it to ignore SIGSEGV signal (`handle SIGSEGV nostop noprint`).
If desired, use the various build options in [CMakeLists](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt).
