I removed everything cause suddenly RPCS3 was not working properly and I thought it was suddenly a corrupted install, cause almost every game reverted to demo mode. Hdd games I mean. Anything I ripped from BLU ray is fine. I am sorry but it's not working.. apparently this behaviour was changed in July, and everything has been fine until a few days ago.
16 Byte rap files do not work, I renamed a 352 byte rap file to edat and it don't work.
I simply now over write RPCS3 folder with previous build and suddenly everything is full mode again. There are no subfolders like there used to be so there is just one ex data folder with the file authorisations directly in there, as you say.
Look, I am not trying to cause trouble by saying I remove my large $ contribution per year - there's just no point if no HDD games work for me anymore.. I didn't mean it as a threat or nasty, so I apologise. Peace?
I have NEVER played an emulated game that I don't own, either digitally or physically. This is why for example, my NES emulator library is only 5 games that I still own, Intellivision I have all my original games that I never sold(74) but no working console etc. Mega drive I have 2 games, Snes just one, Ps2 I have a huge library, OG Xbox ditto, gamecube ditto, PSP ditto. I keep ALL my physical disks so that everything I emulate is legit, I never ever sell my games after I successfully emulate. You should see my cupboards! I was very excited to be able to play PS3 in true HD, and I am only playing games I legitimately own. My emulator libraries are very small, unlike those you see on YouTube with every game in existence in the library. I do the right thing.
And I am telling you it is not working and you are telling me to do something that is not working. That must mean that for all my games, the rap files are corrupt, yet they all work if I go just one build before from a few days ago. How is that even possible?
This is gaining traction all over the net - people are upset.. it's sad that , perhaps, you think that everyone who might have downloaded a PSN game does not own it,? and you don't help the honest ones of us.
You've literally just said "no, that's the way we will do it" and won't even consider options.
so that's it for me. I leave RPCS3 at build 0.0.18-12755-1a2fad4e Alpha
I will never update it again, and just play what I have - I still own many games that aren't compatible yet, but it is what it is. Hopefully some fork or competitor will come some day.
(and to be honest, most my games that aren't compatible yet are blu ray games, so there might be a solution below to keep everyone happy).
(on a side note, By the way, Daytona is not compatible, I do not know why you guys insist on keeping it in compatible column. It's "in game").
I even bought at least 17 PSN games that are still on steam, AGAIN, to make it easer for me as it's so hard for me to understand how to take files off the PS3. I have paid for the same game twice. So I rely on others to help as I will NEVER be able to do that. The only thing I can do is rip a blu ray, that's different, and easy. The joke is, some of those STEAM games don't even work at all on win 10, like blood of the werewolf (well known), and now I can't play it on RPCS3 either.
Maybe I was too harsh but I am human and I have spent so much time on this and then overnight it stops working, try put yourself in my shoes. My PS3 library is by far my biggest games library as it's my favourite console of all time. I have 83 digital games and 340 physical. Just think of the time needed to set everything up, not to mention losing all that cache.. even with 8 cores at 4.4ghz locked, it takes 10 minutes to first start some games, really bad ones are 20 minutes, multiply that by how many games I have to do again now. of COURSE I thought my entire system was corrupted, cause none of the solutions presented were working. I panicked. I DO have all my PS3 games backed up and mirrored on a raid array, but I do not have the main RPCS3 install folder backed up. There's no need IMO, as the way I have it now, I can't lose the games, and that's what matters. I don't have unlimited gigabytes for everything LOL.
There might be a solution for me:
Is RPCS3 completely portable, i.e, can I have 2 installs on same computer in different folders?? If so, I suppose I can keep all HDD games on the build that works, and the newer build for all my Blue Ray games (assuming nothing changes with requirements there also).
What you are saying to do to fix it does not work for me, so this is the only possible solution and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks.
