You can now check compatibility list's history on https://rpcs3.net/compatibility?h
You'll be able to check on games which statuses have been updated since the beginning of the month

Yup, it happened. Check out the blog post: https://rpcs3.net/blog/2017/03/11/des/

That's right, when you download the latest master branch version from rpcs3.net you will no longer have to select modules manually.

Simply install the very latest firmware version from tools -> install firmware and you are set. The option to automatically select modules is on by default. (This feature needs the original encrypted .sprx module files. If you have old decrypted .prx files reinstall from the menu as mentioned earlier)

Automatic selection will be improved in the future, but right now it should work in almost all games. The only real exception would be libfs as a few games need it, but at the same time it breaks others. For example Atelier and Journey needs it. To load libfs in addition to what is manually selected tick libfs in the module list (untick everything else) and also tick the setting "load liblv2.sprx".

Ease of use and more reliable auto selection in cases like libfs will be worked on in the near future.
