Great video, thank you for the coverage. Just some notes on settings as some of them aren't correct: Gran Turismo 5: (19:32) Doesn't require Write Color Buffers and will run faster with it off. Changing Zcull Accuracy won't matter either as you already disabled Zcull occlusion queries on the debug settings. We also recommend not updating the game to 2.00 or later because it makes the game run a bit slower. If you want faster performance you can set the "default resolution" to 1920x1080 and use strict rendering mode. It wont use as much anti-aliasing and will run faster than 1280x720 while looking better. Tales of Xillia: (36:32) The game does actually require a specific setting, it needs the framelimiter set to "PS3 Native", if its not set the game-speed will run incorrectly (fast/slow motion), which can be seen in your footage. LittleBigPlanet Karting: (26:26) We don't recommend using "Force GPU Texture Scaling" (actually shouldn't be used on any game as it doesn't improve performance, and can break graphics in some cases this is why we hid the setting to the debug tab.
Wow, I'm very honored to have the RPCS3 team comment on one of my videos! Thank you so much for all of your work - RPCS3 is truly amazing. 🤗🤗 Thank you for sharing the corrections on the settings. I actually pinned the Tales of Xillia correction after the fact and reserved that space for this exact purpose. 🙏 I will update and add the notes for LittleBigPlanet Karting and GT5. Would it possible to share this video to the RPCS3 sub-reddit? Thank you again!
@@RPCS3_emuIt would be really cool if, instead of having to check the wiki for the right settings for every game, the emulator automatically applied the correct settings profile to each game. Is there any reason why that wouldn't work?
@@MrGamelover23 these game-specific options are undesirable most of the time - shortcuts to account for deficiencies. As the development progresses and emulator is improved, the options become unnecessary and even harmful. Imagine the effort required to keep compatibility database up-to-date with every single emulator release
i upgraded the ssd to 1 tb and i have not had any issues. I have over 30 games on there and still so much space. I sold my steam deck as i was not playing it as much anymore. The ally is great@@SupremeJarJar
Congratulation man, your videos is the most comprehensive and complete one covering PS3 emulation on Rog Ally and in general in my opinion. I can just aplaude your effort.
This is a SUPER video done with tremendous effort, and i thank you for your efforts as an Ally owner (one who spent 5 whole days trying to get this working before i got it haha). Liked and subbed!
You got yourself a new subscriber here! I stumbled upon you while searching for videos covering RPCS3 running on the ROG Ally, and your amazingly well curated list of games /exclusives and the necessary parameters to get them working optimally, is truly fantastic! 🙂 I've already gone through the Xenia / Xbox 360 video you did, and likewise it was amazing! Thank you for all this hard work you're injecting into these projects! Looking forward to any future videos showing up on this wonderful channel! Much love & much respect! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me! Definitely check out my RPCS3 vs Xenia Canary video I just dropped recently! th-cam.com/video/HECHhndwU0E/w-d-xo.html
I just have Ayaneo 1S Geek and I'm diving into the world of RPCS3. This video is fantastic. I can instantly filter out the titles that use too much TDP :) (and do not waste time on endless gigabyte amounts copying, patching etc. :) ). Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words and I'm really glad the video is helpful! BTW, I did a video on Xenia Canary (Xbox 360) as well as a RPCS3 vs Xenia Canary video that will definitely be useful for the 1S Geek.
@@retrotechdad I have de Asus Rog Ally but I haven't been able to get that FPS % in the video game God of war 3 specifically l've already tried many different configuration but nothing, can you please show us your best configuration for this game, I don't mine if I have to pay for it, I'm frustrated. Thanks In advance I love your videos
I have the God of War 3 settings that I used pinned in my review video: th-cam.com/video/RXwxz6vWGhs/w-d-xo.html Let me know how it works for you! God of War 3 is definitely one of the hardest games to emulate with RPCS3. 🙏
Nice and very clean video… I needed help with infamous 2 and this came in handy… looking forward to the next on… I’m loving emulating retro game systems on my ALLY and this was a great video… thank you
Yea, the Z1 Extreme is a step forward for PS3 emulation because of its support for AVX 512 instructions. We're getting really close on some of the heavier games!
It's interesting what you said about Ratchet and clank. When I play it for PS2 on the Retroid 3+ the PAL version will go from 50 to 25 fps on its own but the gameplay remains smooth.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🙏 I always get so nervous with it, especially for Switch. 😟😟 I've done a few in the past for other handhelds/platforms but you never know with Nintendo. 😭
Amazing vid, however on hand I understand that some games that weren't exclusive aren't here, but on the other hand games like Captain America, Green Lantern or Thor, this games were exclusive to ps3 in terms modern platforms exclusivity (xbox 360/windows/ps3), and only had releases on old consoles and/or portables, which don't really compare.
@@retrotechdad yeah was very helpful. I was stuck trying to get it to work for 3 days until I caved and decided to look it up. I'm surprised how well the gyro works
Thanks so much for the sub, much appreciated! 🙏 I haven't had a chance to look at some of the EA Sports games. NCAA Football 14 is definitely on my list including a few others, they will be in a specific upcoming video.
@@retrotechdad Thank you so much! You're content is dope. I got both NCAA 14 and NCAA Revamped working on my Ally (before it smoke checked my mSD card lol) and the AOKZOE A1 Pro. It runs pretty good, but I know there are a few settings that I could take it over the top. I have them up on my channel. Maybe we can collab one day in the future. Best of luck bruh!!!
Great video! It's quite depressing that there's still no way to play/own God of War Ascension, Twisted Metal and MGS4 on anything other than original hardware. PS Plus Premium is a ripoff. I just want to buy those games for modern systems.
@@retrotechdad 100 Percent. Just think about the Pac Man DLC for Hot Shots Golf that was Japan exclusive and is not available any more or how long we had to wait for a physical version of Scott Pilgrim.
Great showcase. I own a physical copy of Gundam ExVs but I would love to play it on a handheld. I was wondering how this runs on the ally cause I've seen videos of it on steam deck and it wasn't running smoothly enough. Good to know that this handles it at 15w. Would you consider doing short showcases of Gundam Unicorn or Gundam Breaker 1 & 2 ? These 3 are all JP exclusives. I'm thinking of taking the plunge and getting an ally to play these gundam games on a handheld.
@@retrotechdad haha, I wish I could do that. I give in to easy. It would be interesting if you tried Read Dead or Fight night champions. Those games are power hungry. I bet you can get them working lol
I’d recommend using Xenia for top spin 4. As simple as downloading iso and Xenia and just playing. No bios or firmware or file format to worry about. It also runs better and has more camera options
I got you 💪 I've added it to the list for an upcoming video. 🙏 I didn't include it in this one because of the criteria, trying to keep it to a certain amount. 😅
Had my ROG for a couple weeks & been feeling very nostalgic & wanting to play Midnight Club, specifically Dub edition… How can I get this, is there a way? Thanks for the vids! They are amazing!
Yes, you can definitely get Midnight Club: Dub Edition going on your Ally. It was available on PSP and PS2. I recommend looking into the PCSX2 or PPSSPP emulator for PC. PPSSPP: www.ppsspp.org/ PCSX2: pcsx2.net/
nice curation job! i plucked off a handful & really impressed w the ps3 version of Hot Shots! (i so didnt like the psp version) Motorstorm Apocalypse is a nice twist on the genre. I couldn't get Short Peace to boot - it compiles all the PPUs & freezes when it goes black & in the corner in grey when it says its compiling PPUs (i assume shader related ones?) i tried rpcs3 in Batocera Linux and booted into Windows w the latest & greatest build & no dice - they both get stuck in the same spot.
Hey! Sorry for the disturb but, for playing Folklore, u can do it without sixaxis? I know than u mentioned it on the video, but my English audiction skills are... bad :( Sorry, if you could resolve my doubt writting, you make me an happy man ^^
Hi Thanks for an amazing video, it got me setup and working, I tried out Wipeout HD, did you notice that the device gets very hot or fans go into overdrive? I am wondering if this kind of emulation has any concerns in the long run on the health of the device. Thanks.
You're very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful! 🙏 What TDP are you using when playing Wipeout HD? Are you plugged in when playing? Turbo mode will get the device hot especially when plugged in since it's drawing a ton of power. I'd recommend to set your custom profiles for power or just use the 15w preset which should be good enough for Wipeout HD and is the one I used in my gameplay footage. It will stutter initially because of shader compilation but that's normal.
@@retrotechdad Thank you! Yeah I was in Turbo mode, I assumed that might make the shader compilation faster. Also today I did some of the optimisation like the windows memory one and the vram allocation, that has seemed to help the device a lot at 15w. I was having a lot of trouble running street fighter 6 even at 720p low but those optimisations for now seemed to have helped. Amazing, thank you so much for your hard work and getting back to me. Subscribed!
so here's the thing I am between 3 Handheld gaming PCs... The Legion GO, Asus ROG ALLY X (the latest one), and The Steam deck. if I can afford it I'd prefer one that can eaisly handle inFamous 1 and 2 so I know it can handle any game I have, but the less expensive option but it wouldn't handle it is The Steam Deck
the cheapest option that will run both infamous game is rog ally z1 extreme no need to buy ally x if you want to save money steam deck is cheapest handheld but it doesnt run infamous games that good so the cheapest option for you will be rog ally
Welp guess I know what I’m buying as my next handheld after the Anbernic RG556 (Android handheld) and it’ll be the ROG Ally X but sometime down the road…. or sooner cuz it’s about time I upgrade my PC lol.
It will mostly be dependent on the TDP settings being used, which I covered in my review video here: th-cam.com/video/RXwxz6vWGhs/w-d-xo.html For the standard presets expect about 3 hours or so for 10watts, 2 hours for 15w, and about an hour for 25w.
Check out my video on Xbox 360 emulation w/ Xenia Canary: th-cam.com/video/HbafRt4yUqc/w-d-xo.html I'll keep any updates to settings pinned here just in case! Straight from the RCPS3 team! Gran Turismo 5: (19:32) Doesn't require Write Color Buffers and will run faster with it off. Changing Zcull Accuracy won't matter either as you already disabled Zcull occlusion queries on the debug settings.

I know this is an old video. But I have a question. Do these settings that certain games like demon souls or mgs4 save to the game or to do need to set it for each time you run a different game? Thanks for the video!
Man I wish the steam deck ran the games better I only want to play yakuza dead souls its not on pc but every other yakuza is cool vid rog is cool too happy to see may option heck laptop destroys it then their decks tops

The Legion GO, Asus ROG ALLY X (the latest one), and The Steam deck. if I can afford it I'd prefer one that can eaisly handle inFamous 1 and 2 so I know it can handle any game I have, but the less expensive option but it wouldn't handle it is The Steam Deck
the cheapest option that will run both infamous game is rog ally z1 extreme no need to buy ally x if you want to save money steam deck is cheapest handheld but it doesnt run infamous games that good so the cheapest option for you will be rog ally
Welp guess I know what I’m buying as my next handheld after the Anbernic RG556 (Android handheld) and it’ll be the ROG Ally X but sometime down the road…. or sooner cuz it’s about time I upgrade my PC lol.
Dude your video description is sooooo full i even can‘t find the link for the ps3 firmware
Here ya go: darthsternie.net/ps3-firmwares/
I hope that helps! 🙏
What's your observation about the battery life when running heavy emulator like this?
It will mostly be dependent on the TDP settings being used, which I covered in my review video here: th-cam.com/video/RXwxz6vWGhs/w-d-xo.html
For the standard presets expect about 3 hours or so for 10watts, 2 hours for 15w, and about an hour for 25w.
@@retrotechdad that is really helpful information. Thanks a lot!
Check out my video on Xbox 360 emulation w/ Xenia Canary: th-cam.com/video/HbafRt4yUqc/w-d-xo.html
I'll keep any updates to settings pinned here just in case!
Straight from the RCPS3 team!
Gran Turismo 5: (19:32) Doesn't require Write Color Buffers and will run faster with it off. Changing Zcull Accuracy won't matter either as you already disabled Zcull occlusion queries on the debug settings. We also recommend not updating the game to 2.00 or later because it makes the game run a bit slower. If you want faster performance you can set the "default resolution" to 1920x1080 and use strict rendering mode. It wont use as much anti-aliasing and will run faster than 1280x720 while looking better.
Tales of Xillia: (36:32) The game does actually require a specific setting, it needs the framelimiter set to "PS3 Native", if its not set the game-speed will run incorrectly (fast/slow motion), which can be seen in your footage.
LittleBigPlanet Karting: (26:26) We don't recommend using "Force GPU Texture Scaling" (actually shouldn't be used on any game as it doesn't improve performance, and can break graphics in some cases this is why we hid the setting to the debug tab.
I know this is an old video. But I have a question. Do these settings that certain games like demon souls or mgs4 save to the game or to do need to set it for each time you run a different game? Thanks for the video!
can the ally handle elite dangerous? if not, which windows handheld can?
I'd think so, the specs don't look too steep on it. I'd have to try it out myself of course but I don't see why not. 💪
I love infamous 2
@Retro Tech Dad I got a Question, once you make these individual settings will it save them to each game ?
Does xenia work on the ally? Would love to play lost odyssey 😁
Don't suppose you could try some dynasty warriors gundam reborn
I'll add it to my list for an upcoming video. 😉
Man I wish the steam deck ran the games better I only want to play yakuza dead souls its not on pc but every other yakuza is cool vid rog is cool too happy to see may option heck laptop destroys it then their decks tops
SD is still an absolute killer of a device, hard to top the value there. The Z1 Extreme does better with PS3 emulation because of the AVX 512 support.
@@retrotechdad it runs everything but most ps3 games ..10000 games lol playable can't beat that
may want to retest all since there are new firmware for Ally and new rpcs3?
You forgot to test Gundam extreme vs full boost on rpcs3.
It's in the video, just under Mobile Suit Gundam! 🙏th-cam.com/video/MPripzrWakQ/w-d-xo.html
