Absolutely playable.
Custom config with everything at default except resolution scale, which is set to 200% (2560x1440, primarily for supersampling to reduce aliasing). Framerate is mostly stable except when looking out over an entire level such as the beginning of Maktar Nebula in the R&C2 as well as several places in Florana in R&C3. Doesn't seem to be a GPU bound situation dropping framerates in those locations, as GPU usage remains relatively low there. Any distortion effects immediately rocket GPU usage to 100% such as when using the thaw function of the Thermanator in R&C2 (for the entire duration of using, framerate tanks into single digits as the projectiles have a distortion effect around them) and the Nitro Launcher's explosion in R&C3 (Effect easily seen right at the start of the game, hold triangle while the Nitro Launcher's bomb is exploding so that it pauses with the distortion effect in view). Zero game breaking bugs and all three games are playable start to finish - worth noting that the PS3 ports are buggy by default, even on a PS3, with several visual bugs, though there are a few minor issues here and there with transparency such as glass and particles. I did have one freeze in R&C2 when I spoke to Help Matron to read my R&C1 save data. A restart allowed me to do it afterwards, however. Cutscenes run flawlessly, and R&C3 has a few audio sync issues here and there but that might be something that exists even on a PS3. Been a while since I've checked. Can't think of anything else, was able to 100% R&C2 with RPCS3 with zero issues besides a few bugs here and there that more than likely existed on a legit PS3, so other than the framedrop issues, there is nothing preventing a full playthrough. The game's lack of frameskipping causes the game to run in slow-mo if frames drop, which can be rough, though, so hoping things are ironed out soon.
