Introducing the RPCS3 Build Archive - Ani - 04-03-2025
As a step to strengthen the preservation efforts around the PlayStation 3, today we're releasing the RPCS3 Build Archive.
This is a comprehensive collection of every RPCS3 build built by our automated CI, set up 10 years ago, as well as some manually compiled builds that precede CI.
Many of these builds could not be found online anymore, and have been sitting on a backup hard drive for years.
The entire archive is currently over half a TB. It is categorised by platform, cpu architecture, and version tag.
This will allow for pinpointing any existing regressions that are old, as well as for historical documentation, for easily testing differences in RPCS3 throughout the years.
It will also ensure every build will continue to be available going forward, even if their original source becomes unavailable one day.
We would like to give a big thank you to The Internet Archive for hosting us, and for storing this data going into the future.
You can find our entire build archive on their website at: https://archive.org/details/@rpcs3?sort=date
Whenever we close new version tags in the future, we will upload new collections with all the builds in the completed version tag.
If you have any issues to report, or inquiries regarding the archive, you can reach [email protected] via email.
