Project 8 on PC?

THP8

I don't have a PS3 and therefore havent had much luck with the emulator. is there any other way to play it? It was my favorite when I had it on the 360 as a kid and with the lockdown I can't get a hold of anything to play it on

Speaking of Project 8 I recently started playing it again on PS3 with a DS4 and I can't do Reverts or Spine Transfers other than the triggers not working the game plays fine does anyone have a clue as to what could be happening?

The DS4 triggers aren't recognized as analog when played on a PS3, and for some reason the Tony Hawk games have to read them as such.

Emulator is the only way mate, if the framerate is dogshit on RPCS3 then you're gunna need a better CPU.

It's more of I don't have the game and can't find files anywhere, not asking for a link just wondering.

I guess you could try emulating the PSP port. I know it's a downgrade but it's still the same game at its core.

RPCS3 has advanced rapidly. Project 8 is now more than playable up to 1440p with an uncapped frame rate. 4K I'd suggest limiting to 30FPS. You'll want a meaty CPU mind, I'm gonna go try it out on my Ryzen 1800x later but I suspect it may get considerably more slowdown than an Intel counterpart.

I need to know how to do this :(

You're saying with a r5 3600x I could be playing a ton of PS3 games? Wtf why is there no sections for this on the emulation sites

Oh definitely. RPCS3 is so easy to configure, the only extra thing you have to do is download the latest ps3 system update from Sony and install it on the emulator, RPCS3 gives you incredibly clear steps on how to do this.

Also easy buttons to configure the GPU and SPU, with an option for RSX Multithreaded to improve performance on high core count systems. For reference I have a 1800x, RTX 2080 and 16GB @2666Mhz.

Project 8 runs at a smooth stable 30fps and 1440p or 40-60fps unlocked at 60hz on the emu for me. Your cpu will do much better than mine.

Sick man, ive got the emulator configured! Now the hunt for some games begins lol, skate, Project 8 here I come!
