I can get pretty far through the 1st actual story mission with only a few performance issues and flickering 2D story cut-scenes. That is until later on when you are required to use the Sixaxis.



As far as I can tell the sixaxis isn't emulated yet so this is as far as you can get. Should this remain at Ingame?

Sixaxis works, but you need a dualshock 4 controller. The ps3 (Dualshock 3) controller doesn't have native windows drivers, the only way to use it on PC is to use something like scp-toolkit which makes windows think its an xbox controller and uses a xinput wrapper.
And of course xinput doesn't support sixaxis so... yeah, you need a DS4 controller.

That being said, this game still has other issues preventing it from being playable.

Freezes after SCE logo with "F {PPU[0x100000f] Thread (AglRenderThread) [0x007baafc]} MEM: Access violation reading location 0x668fb701"
Crashes the emulator if emulation is stopped at this point.

Auto load required libraries (also tried with "load liblv2.sprx only." Same result.)

Good test, this one still needs more performance though.

I have finished Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time [BCUS98247] from start to finish with a quad core i5 6500 and GTX 1060 @ ~25-45 fps on version alpha 0.0.6 - 8479. (The collectibles are also attainable since all the worlds work fine so a 100% walkthrough is possible), There are a few graphical glitches (some dots) and the resolution scaling doesn't work on this game. 

*Move to: Playable*

log file and screenshots in Attachment

You pointed the camera at a wall to take a 100fps screenshot. And all three screenshots are within the first 2minutes of the first level.. It's hard to believe you played for an hour when you're saying that you had "100fps and more" in PM, and all three screens are at the very start of the game. I can barely get over 30fps on the second big level, unless I do the trick which involves deleting  USRDIR\Movies\SanzaruSplash.bik in order to make the game fail to initialize MLAA resulting in another 10-15fps. See attachments for comparison. But that trick wont work whenever another cutscene plays it goes back to having MLAA. And even with that, the performance is still is not good enough imo, but it's close.

Performance doesn't seem to have changed much. However, just as the loading screen appears just before the second mission, the emulator crashes. I did notice though that it will load fine everytime if I use OpenGL, but this causes severe performance issues and graphics issues.

I have completed the game start to finish, locked the fps to 30 to avoid stuttering. No major bugs. Requires DS3 or DS4 for mandatory motion control sections. Definitely playable.
