Before the rise of VR, there were some efforts to introduce 3D in gaming with limited success and the PlayStation 3 was a recipient of some of these. In this article, we’ll be looking at the introduction of PlayStation 3D support in RPCS3 & the release of a FIFA 20 mod for the Switch alongside NXThemesInstaller 2.2.1.
Emulation News: RPCS3 introduces PlayStation 3D support allowing you to play certain titles in Anaglyph 3D!
Yesterday, the folks behind RPCS3 tweeted out that the emulator now supports PlayStation 3D, a feature that allows for the implementation of 3D functionality in games.
Ever fancied playing PlayStation 3 games in 3D? Well, now you can do so on your PC!
This feature, which was introduced with PS3 FW 3.30 released in April 2010, is supported by 78 titles which include some pretty popular ones including Crysis, Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Doom 3 BFG Edition, Hatsune Miku Project Diva F, WipeOut HD and numerous others meaning that there’s certainly something of interest to try out.
As the RPCS3 folks only shared information about the newly added feature through Twitter, information is a tad sparse but tweets have revealed that:
- As of right now, only Anaglyph (red & blue) 3D is supported with Stereo 3D support coming soon
- Anaglyph 3D can be displayed on any monitor provided you have the 3D glasses required. On the other hand, Stereo 3D requires a compatible monitor so you can’t view it everywhere
- Output to VR headsets isn’t supported since RPCS3 only renders to a single GSFrame for now
To experience PlayStation 3D on your PC, you may grab the latest build of RPCS3 from this link and turn on 3D mode. Games demonstrated to be working in some capacity include Super Stardust HD, Doom 3 BFG, de Blob 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. You may support RPCS3’s development through Patreon.
