ARMSX3 1.3

Games

  • Uncharted 2 boots and plays, with a fix to how ARMSX3 reads a game's graphics commands. By @elad335

Controllers

  • All controllers can play as Player 1. Turn on "All controllers play as Player 1" in Settings > Pad or in the in-game menu > controller tab > controller mapping, and a handheld's own controls and a Bluetooth pad both control Player 1. Dock it or pick up the other controller and keep playing, with nothing to reassign. The controller you used last gets the rumble. (Also in the next ARMSX2 nightly).

  • Several controllers can share a player. Pick each controller's player in the in-game Controls screen or in Settings > Pad. Two or more controllers can be on the same player.
image
  • Mapping profiles for physical controllers in the in-game menu. Open the in game-menu, controller tab > controller mapping and click on Mapping Profiles while playing to load a saved profile with one tap, or save the current buttons as a new one.

  • L2 and R2 work on the AYANEO Pocket DS. Thanks to @mymobileinstallment for reporting and testing.
  • Every yes/no prompt over the library works with a controller. The D-pad moves between the buttons and A picks one.

Launchers and game library apps

  • Game library apps can send your PKG files to ARMSX3. An app that manages your PS3 collection can pass your packages and licenses to ARMSX3, for games, updates and DLC. ARMSX3 shows what it is about to install, installs it when you say yes, and goes back to that app.
  • Share installed games with other apps in Settings > App lets those apps check which games, updates and licences are installed. It stays off until you turn it on.

  • Installs prepared by a launcher go straight to the library. When a launcher has already put the PS3 firmware and your games in place, ARMSX3 skips the setup screens.

Discord

  • Discord shows "In the library" while you browse your games, and remote play shows as "Playing remote play (2 of 2)" and the person joining also gets RPC with the game's name and cover if they're discord is connected. (Also in the next ARMSX2 nightly).

  • Your friends' game covers show in the Friends list.

Mali GPUs

  • Community PanVK drivers can be tried on Mali. Driver packs built for your device can be imported in the Vulkan driver settings. These drivers are experimental, so switch back to the system driver if a game misbehaves.
  • ARMSX3 asks the driver which compressed texture formats it supports, and decodes the textures itself when the driver can't.

Google Play version

  • Games copied in through the Files app show up in ARMSX3 when its data is on an SD card.

From upstream RPCS3

  • H.A.W.X. 2 should no longer crash at startup. By @Yahfz.

  • Custom soundtracks play your whole selection, not just one track. By @digant73.

  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine online: a fix for its peer-to-peer connections. By @digant73.

  • The Fracture demo exits cleanly. By @digant73.

  • Also: save states made at certain moments resume the graphics from the right point (by @elad335 and @digant73), patches that target functions by their ID apply correctly and new safety checks in several system modules (by @Megamouse), and a fix for an error in cellSysmodule (by @elad335).
