Did you actually install firmware 4.81 from here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/suppor...dates/ps3/ ?

Someone else used some other firmware (presumably the update on the disc) and also had black screen instead of logo videos.

Delete everything in /dev_flash/, redownload firmware 4.81 from the link above, install it and make sure your settings page looks like this:



When that is OK, switch to LLVM.

Yes, I downloaded the firmware from that official page and installed it. I have previously done fresh installs and redownloaded RPCS3, Playstation Firmware, and the game to make doubly sure that I have the right files.

I've just followed your instructions (All settings in line with your image: PPU: Interpreter (fast), SPU: ASMJIT) and I'm getting the same result: green wall of "SPU: function detected" ending on the same message, black screen).

With the following settings, the game will boot and allow you through to actual gameplay: PPU: LLVM, SPU: Interpreter (fast), Auto LLE, DX12, XAudio2. Gameplay is still too jittery at the low end of 15-20 FPS to be playable.

Just can't seem to get the SPU: Recompiler (ASMJIT) working. Whenever it is enabled, I get the "same result" I mentioned.
