It was a few years ago that I last used RPCS3, but recently I decided to run through Persona 5 again. I already had v0.0.2 installed, but figured that updating the emulator would probably fix a few graphical glitches and improve performance.
I downloaded 0.0.6 and attempted to install the firmware: however this caused a full system crash: froze up completely followed by a BSOD.
Tried an older firmware version and got very much the same thing.
Figuring I already had the old version with the firmware installed, I tried copying the files over my existing install. This worked and I could access the emulator and see that the new version was running, however now when I try to launch the game it gets as far as "Compiling PPU module 0 of 61" before again, freezing completely and bluescreening.
I've tried running as an Administrator, messing with the compatibility settings and playing with the process priority in task manager to no avail. I managed to switch my renderer from Vulkan after reading that some people had issues with that, but nothing.
My system is certainly capable of running the software (I7-4790K, GTX970, 8G Ram) and the only physical change since the last time I played is that I had to replace a blown power supply. My drivers are up to date.
As a side note: my system froze entirely while in the configuration screen at one stage - not even attempting to run a game.
So I'll be perfectly honest: I'm out of ideas here. Any thoughts, oh smart people of the internet?
