Update for anyone who is interested.
Today I finally summoned up the courage to try an idea that I had. My idea was to delete the act.dat file, then see if it gets re-generated when signing in to the Playstation Store (instead of using Apollo Save Tool to generate the file)
I was happy to find that the file was re-generated.
Next I deleted and re-downloaded/installed a game (Bomberman Ultra) on my PS3 to test with, and copied the game files to my RPCS3 installation again, and copied the .rif files again. Not sure if these steps were necessary, but I did it anyway.
Then used RifConv to generate the .rap file, copied it to the RPCS3 installation, loaded RPCS3 and was delighted to find that Bomberman Ultra now loads!
After this success, I deleted/re-downloaded the rest of my digital-copy games. Ran each game once on my PS3 and installed any updates. Re-copied the rif files for these games. Created the .rap files, and copied to RPCS3.
The digital-copy games that I have include:
Bomberman Ultra (NPEB00076)
Dirt 3 (NPEB00848)
Dirt Showdown (NPEB00883)
Metal Slug 3 (NPEB02252)
Raiden IV: OverKill (NPEB01890)
Sky Force Anniversary (NPEB02327)
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II (NPEB00717)
I have not done thorough testing yet, but all games except Sky Force Anniversary seem to load to the main menu.
Sky Force Anniversary loads partially then crashes and RPCS3 closes without any error message. This seems strange because on the 'Compatibility' webpage, the game is marked as 'Playable'. I am attaching the log file to this post that gets generated when running Sky Force Anniversary (all instances of my name in path strings replaced with 'abc123'). Perhaps someone from the RPCS3 team could kindly take a look to see what the problem is?
Thanks for reading.
EDIT: My system specs are: AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX / 4060 / Win11 / 16GB / latest nVidia drivers as of today
