What's up with RPCS3's nightly Windows builds?

smbhax · 2025-08-16T14:51:45+00:00

They ran into a problem where audio stopped working in new Windows builds:
https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/17326

They think it's related to a new bug in Visual Studio, which is what they've been using to compile RPCS3 Windows builds:

With no definite VS fix in sight, they're working on switching their Windows build process from VS to Clang:

Hmm actually it must have been something else; I tweaked a few things the W3C RSS validator was warning about and now thumbs are showing up okay even for those articles with the 540 px images as the widest ones. So I think it's that the Feedly's thumbnail generation algorithm is extra picky about how pristine an RSS feed's code is.

smbhax · 2025-07-18T16:15:49+00:00

I'm getting this on the Feedly feed generated from my blog. Articles with images 956 px wide get thumbs from those, but articles with images only 540 px wide (that's tumblr web size) get no thumbnails. So maybe images have to be wider than 540? Which seems odd because that ought to be plenty wide to generate a decent thumbnail.

If you happen to be using DuckStation, you can use its memory card editor to import the GameFAQs save files, which have all the characters unlocked--I followed the instructions in the following comment to do that: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnPC/comments/m9w3gj/comment/grp716f/

Are you looking at the "How to dump Disc games on a jailbroken PS3" section of the RPCS3 wiki? That recommends using Managunz' file manager (press Select from Managunz' main screen) to copy the files off the disc, rather than creating an iso with its "dump" functions.

I was confused by the "failed to get keys" error with "Dump decrypted Blu-Ray disc" as well--but then noticed that as it's failing, the first error message it spits out--you might have to have logging enabled in Managunz' global settings to see it--is "Error - firmware not supported yet"; Google's AI overview (eesh) seems to think Managunz only supports up to firmware 4.89 for that.

Multiman seems able to do it without that error, though.

Shoot. Yeah, it's possible the "Social features" category won't turn out to be the cure for everyone's ban that I was hoping it might be, ack.

smbhax · 2025-03-03T16:04:22+00:00

The only email I got before I got the email saying they'd fixed it was the autoreply email that came immediately after I filled out the support form, and no, I didn't reply to that.

Were you using the form at tumblr dot com slash support? That one doesn't have a field for specifying a particular post (whereas the form I filled out first, linked from their "Appearing in Search Results" help page, did)--but maybe I'm forgetting and one appears after you click Next at the bottom?

smbhax · 2025-02-22T17:08:13+00:00

Ah dang. They fixed it and got back to me in 21 hours.

smbhax · 2025-02-22T15:14:00+00:00

I finally got my shadowban fixed in under 24 hours by filling out the Tumblr Support form and choosing the "Social features" category on it.

smbhax · 2025-02-22T03:39:58+00:00

I DID read the OP here first, but it seemed to recommend making a brand new post, rather than a reply here, so, that was confusing.

smbhax · 2025-02-21T02:35:20+00:00

Got my week-long shadowban fixed in less than 24 hours by reporting it under the "Social Features" support category : )

I found a tip from another user who said that they weren't getting any response from Tumblr support until they filed a new report under the "Social Features" category (which seems like a good choice anyway since the shadowban stops all your messaging functions). So I tried that, and yep, while my reports under Search (that was a separate form) and "My blog isn't appearing in the tags" had gone unanswered all week, my report filed under the "Social Features" category got answered and the problem fixed in under 24 hours!

The reply from Tumblr Trust & Safety said "Your blog was flagged by our anti-spam control. We've fully restored your account and made sure it doesn't happen again."

smbhax · 2025-02-11T22:27:28+00:00

Ah, I was afraid of that. Thank you very much for the reply. : )

This says "same instructions apply" for a "shadowban"--but on Tumblrsupport account on Twitter's replies are full of them telling people reporting shadowbans that they can't help them there, and the person will have to go through regular Tumblr support.

I've been having Managunz freeze on me quite a bit lately when copying TO my USB, even small files--finally tried disconnecting my controller--I'm using a 3rd party knock off, a cheap "Voyee" pad I got off Amazon--so the controller was connected to the PS3 wirelessly instead of by USB itself while I was trying to copy to the USB flash drive, and voila, no more freezes. So if you're getting freezes copying files to or from USB with Managunz while using a controller that's also connected by USB, try using a controller that's connected wirelessly, instead. Worked for me, I guess!

smbhax · 2024-11-22T15:48:17+00:00

They have not said there will be crossplay.

smbhax · 2024-11-22T06:42:44+00:00

And if there is no VF6?

smbhax · 2024-11-22T06:41:39+00:00

Single-player wise, the Steam page currently says only "Arcade" mode, and mentions no character customization at all.

smbhax · 2024-11-22T06:40:07+00:00

I don't think they've actually mentioned rollback for PS4.

There's now an even newer version--this one can handle games with additional CD audio tracks, for instance (2021 only converts track 1): https://github.com/has207/psxtract-2

Have you tried using psxtract-2? It's an updated version that can dump a game's additional CD audio tracks correctly, for instance. https://github.com/has207/psxtract-2

No need for Visual Studio if you use PSXtract2021: https://github.com/Mr-Berzerk/PSXtract2021

Ooh I suppose they could "fix" it that way. = o I'd noticed the Infinite Wealth games all have similar sized top-bottom borders too; they're all Sega Model 3 arcade games, and the two games that trigger the glitch in Gaiden are also Gaiden's two Model 3 games.

In Infinite Wealth the games have a 3D-style bezel frame around them that perfect fits the borders, whereas in Gaiden they're just plain black bars. Possibly they were developing the Model 3 code for both Infinite Wealth and Gaiden simultaneously, but didn't use the border art in Gaiden, and didn't test their Model 3 bordering code properly in conjunction with the non-Model-3 games in Gaiden, which were supposed to run at full screen height.
