Let us start with Nekotekina who did some significant work this month. Lastly we will take a look at some of the upcoming changes before rounding of this monthly progress report. Thereafter we will take a look at a selection of some interesting games that were improved this month, though this is just a small slice of the hundreds upon hundreds of games that received small or significant improvements this month. First we will take a closer look at what each pull request this month did, and show a few practical examples. The progress report is mainly split into three different parts. And some significant improvements are still in the pipeline but have yet to be merged.
Since the last progress report, approximately 17 authors have made 115 commits with 6,831 lines of code added, and 4,471 lines of code deleted.
#PUTTY SQUAD SPEED RUN SOFTWARE#
This showcases one of the most important strengths of RPCS3 being free and open-source software and it is very likely that more and more people will join the project in the future and contribute changes both big and small. Oh and Red Dead Redemption also went to the main menu thanks to this, and some graphics improvements by kd-11. In fact, new developer Inviuz aka Numan was one of these people who recently discovered RPCS3, spent a lot of hours reading the code and debugging Demon’s Souls, and finally getting it to boot for the first time. Of course the hundreds of videos posted by the community on YouTube, different forum posts, Reddit submissions, and so on, have contributed greatly to the massive growth of the RPCS3 community. Even the famous YouTube personality, TotalBiscuit was impressed with the progress, and the killing of the notorious Demon’s Souls boss Vanguard in RPCS3. The two videos of these games received over 200 000 views on the official RPCS3 YouTube channel. Second, the cult classic Catherine received significant performance improvements and now runs with practically perfect graphics and performance. First, Demon’s Souls went from crashing in zero seconds to going ingame and almost being playable. This was the direct result of the massive amount of attention the project got when two popular games were drastically improved this month.
#PUTTY SQUAD SPEED RUN FULL#
So much happened that even this colossal progress report can only begin to scratch the surface.įirst of all, lead RPCS3 developer Nekotekina reached the $1000 goal on Patreon, securing his long time commitment to work on RPCS3 full time. March 2017 beat the previous record set by February 2017 as the most eventful month in the history of the project.
