Hello everyone !

I want to use previous builds of RPCS3, the only way to download previous builds is from github, and you know what ? i have experienced that you must download 4 things in order to build a single old version of rpcs3, CMAKE, PYTHON, QT and Visual studio 2019. All of these files become about 1GB to download. Is there anyway to directly download old builds from rpcs3.net without using these languages ? and if the answer is NO then can someone tell me or make a full video how to do this from github ? We are not developers and can't perform this action for ourselves. Hope anybody helps out us with a video. IT will be his great help. I have already downloaded 3 of the above softwares to name them, cmake, python and visual studio and C++ 2019 the only thing remaining is QT which is over 950mb file as an offline installer. and to mention i have added the path of cmake and python on environment variables for sure, but still i have to download that QT and after downloading don't know how to build an rpcs3. I assume that i will be using command prompt to build an rpcs3, but don't know which code i will be writing at it ? i have also downloaded an old master version from github, but there are many files and folders and rpcs3 included. what would be i doing with this directories ? do i need all of them to make rpcs3 or just the rpcs3 folder alone ? I know too many questions here but can't find help anywhere else after too much googling. The reason i want an old build is because i want to play tekken tag 2 which works well with an older version from 2018, latest version of rpcs3 can't emulate it smoothly. I am using windows 7 build 7601 with intel core i5-3550 and GTX 660Ti 2GB dedicate graphics cards. All the load is on the cpu. Please help out somebody

Thanks in advance
Nothing is making sense, you're mixing up too many things that aren't related

a) You can download old builds from the RPCS3 website
b) Your CPU is too weak
c) Your OS is too old
d) Your GPU is too old
e) All the load is obviously on the CPU as the console was designed to be heavily CPU based as well
f) Newer builds will work better than something from 3 years ago
g) Building ancient builds that old is hard because some dependencies are not available anymore at the old versions we used back then
I have seen a youtube video with same or equal cpu and gpu, he got above 50 FPS on Tekken tag 2 with version 0.0.4-7928 RPCS3. what is currently exciting that i get between 8 -27 FPS with the latest rpcs3 build, but get around 30-43 FPS on rpcs3-v0.0.9-10258-256c74de_win64, and this is the proof that old build is better for tekken tag 2 rather than the new one. Can you please send that old version to my email ? [email protected] is my email. i want the version 0.0.4-7928 RPCS3 from 2018, You know it is a hard work for a non developer to build an old version of rpcs3.
Any reply or help ?
Builds that old aren't available for download anymore, but you can download one close to it such as 0.0.5-6906 and test it.
