Rpcs3 is only officially supported on modern operating systems such as windows 10, windows 11, linux, macos and freebsd We offer a final build for legacy operating systems, but please be aware that this will be the final official build that will work on a legacy operating system. Rpcs3 requires the playstation 3 system software because it contains dependencies and proprietary libraries for the emulator to function Development began in early 2011 by a small team of programmers lead by dh and hykem. Rpcs3 was first hosted on google code and was eventually migrated to github later on in its development The emulator's first successful game boot were primarily composed of smaller homebrew projects and focused hardware tests.
