The RPCS3 team says its PlayStation 3 emulator now has zero games in the Loadable compatibility category.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in gaming that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 30% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.44 | +0.110 25% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 1.00 | +0.200 45% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
The RPCS3 team says its PlayStation 3 emulator now has zero games in the Loadable compatibility category. In a post on X, the developers said Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is now Ingame, thanks to an SPU accuracy fix from contributor Yahfz. It looks like that game was the last one in the Loadable list, which is reserved for titles that only show a black screen with a framerate counter in the window title. As for the fix itself, it is fairly technical. RPCS3 now recreates the SPU thread loader and the arguments the PS3's LV2 kernel leaves in Local Store at the start of each SPU group, before the code image loads. According to the team, that stops the loader from getting corrupted.
