Franco23444 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 [Emu W.I.P] Namco System 357 emulation working on RPCS3 Hi peeps! This is currently something a group of friends and I have been working on for the past month or so. We wanted to see if any other 357/369 games were bootable on the RPCS3 emulator as the only other game that “works” is Taiko No Tatsujin Version Green. well, here’s Tekken Tag Tournament 2 booting. A lot more work needs to be done but 357 emulation maybe possible. Big thanks to the friends who worked on making this project possible: Brian218 and Backyard Posse! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Crisis 4 is a Super 256 game however but if I can find a dumped version of Razing Storm, we can try to get it to work. Currently working on getting Tekken 6.0 and Tekken 6 BR to boot although it’s a bit troublesome at the moment… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest A FRIEND Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Amazing work guys! hoping for a day dark escape 4d+deadstorm pirates arcade version will work with rpcs3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powergyser Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The biggest problem will be getting the dumps. The games that we all want are not public. Makes getting them emulated difficult. Great work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A FRIEND Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Indeed getting rpcs3 arcade games to work certainly depends on the good will of people that have them to make all of them public same goes for any game that’s not public as we saw many times in the past it helped getting them playable faster Edited November 2, 2022 by A FRIEND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco23444 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) I got a few games in my own personal collection that I’ve been meaning to dump for a while now, however it’s the dumping process which is most difficult and frustrating, especially if the game is rare. I’ll look for some ways. Another pain would also be patching stuff like dongle/HDD protection and system checks.

`kingston Ramsey Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 1 hour ago, A FRIEND said: as for the payment contribution it’s a matter of choice because eventually all games are free for all true but having a pay 2 play slows things up a bit and when they set goals like "600" paying subs before we consider release brings things to a halt until they are satisfied and want to share so by you always asking ppl to share things that takes forever to be released if Ever released you should understand this better than most but until then the wait continues let's hope it's sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Namco system 357 revision A-C and the 369 arcade hardware is based on the PlayStation 3 console. The PlayStation 3 emulator (RPCS3) is the perfect emulator to use and seems to emulate some of those arcade games, it’s just a matter of emulating the I/Os (in this case the Namco H0XX PCB for the JVS games) which is what we’re looking at doing at the moment. Tag 2 did boot into the intro using a modified version of the 357C USIO which was rather interesting, however. With the 357C H050, I only get a white screen. And of course, all of you guys can use the normal RPCS3 emulator to play the games once all this stuff finally works. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetsurin Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Very cool to see this. Did you implement the missing cellFsArcadeHddSerialNumber call to bypass the serial number checks? I guess that can basically just return the contents of the game's local PS3GAME.DAT (sys 357 games) or the other named DAT which name currently escapes me (sys 369 games) which would allow the checks to pass always? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
