You're welcome, glad I could help.
You mean the .pkg? Yeah you can, you can use an ISO or the typical PS3 game folder to launch a game, that is yours to decide :)

By backup I meant this
So I wouldn't need anything else from my PS3 as long I use a system backup, correct?
(plus fw obviously)

Yup, that works too, in the backup is everything stored regarding digital licenses and everything.
So I purchased a supported Blu-ray drive and have been trying to dump my copy of Demons' Souls for the past hour. Following the quickstart guide on the RPCS3 website I get as far as the following step where I'm stuck.
Edit: Figured it out. IsoTools does not like it when your .iso files have any capital letters.
When I start this program there is nowhere that says 'Decrypt' and I have no idea what I'm even supposed to do with this thing. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

So I read an article saying this plays Disgaea D2 now. So I dumped my already installed PSN version from my PS3 (including updates and DLC).
I have the game , the rif and the act.dat and can get the idps. Unfortunately the quickstart doesn't say where to go from here. Any help ?

Well I've managed to work my way through this, as far as I can tell, RPCS3 doesn't yet support IDPS/Act.dat/RIF decryption directly. Instead you need to get a program called RifConv and use that to generate the Raps from those files. Do not use Rif2Rap / r2r I discovered that it generates invalid RAPs from some RIFs (which lead to a "fun" several hours of trying to find a flaw in RPCS3s decryption algorithm which didn't exist and then backtracing through the rif to rap process trying to work out what was going on).
What version is this? I though it was fully playable in the previous version already.
It was but some of the latest builds made UE3 games a lot faster and fixed some of the remaining graphical bugs, game runs pretty much perfect now you don't even need a very good cpu my stock Haswell I5 runs it full speed.
Thanks for the link! Iirc my 4690k is at 4.3GHz, so it should run pretty well. I'll look into it later.
EDIT: It's working pretty great, especially after applying a fix for the audio stutter. There are the usual dips when you get to a new area and crowded places (like the station and the school) get to 15-20fps (it was a bit higher before that fix, but it's worth it imho). The dungeon part (the beginning at least) was pretty smooth, as was the combat.

really impressive, it would be really hard if not impossible for it to go smoother on a PS4, but it's awesome for the sake of emulation.
Is there a good way to see recommended settings and stuff for specific games yet?
I've been looking through a "playable" list but then clicking on the games it turns out they're more like "barely playable" and only with specific settings. There doesn't seem to be an easily comprehensible overview anywhere?
Might just be me being too stupid finding what I'm looking for, on the other hand it takes me about 5 seconds to find good, workable settings for pretty much every PS2 game on PCSX2 emulator.
This is all way too complicated and yeah especially any tutorials I find "use the tool" but they don't tell you which and how to get it, ughh.
I really hope they get out of alpha soon...
Edit: joined the discord, seems cool enough. I still think it'll be difficult to find good settings for games.

It looks like the new Wiki game pages are going to be where configs and recommended settings are going to be? There's not many listed yet (no Skate 3, for instance), but they all seem to have this section in them:
So I think that, plus asking on the Discord is your best bet right now.
Yeah it seems so. Thanks.
I've also found BSOD gaming on youtube which is pretty cool and not as obnoxious as a lot of other channels.
I just tried Nier Replicant and it runs fullspeed now even on fairly weak Hardware (I5 4460,gtx970) so no excuses to not play/replay this now XD
I just spent all night dumping my NieR disk. It hangs a lot and there are audio glitches but I'm extremely happy with it otherwise. What are the recommended settings? (720p30fps is my goal)
Might be something off with my config or my specs might be insufficient. GTX 1050 Ti, i5-7500HQ, 8GB RAM. I think it hangs when it's compiling shaders. Sound de-syncs when the game runs too fast. The only non-performance-related bug I'm seeing is that the sunlight is flickering in the overworld.
Some slight flickering lightning that's it. I can't confirm what Funyarinpa said, either it's his Hardware or he was using an outdated build the newest build runs the game pretty much perfectly for me, no crashes 2 hours in.
It is recommended to lock the fps to 30 though to avoid issues i don't think the PS3 version was ever above that and more often below.

After some more mucking about in the settings, I think about the only complaint I have left is the flickering. The game sometimes stops to compile shaders but again, that might be on my hardware, and in the last hour or so of gameplay that in itself has been exceedingly rare.
Oh my dear lord we are getting close to Killzone 2 and 3 fully playable in 4K resolution
There is a God
Killzone 2 is still my favorite first person shooter multiplayer experience since Delta Force 2.
Sure, it may have been the liberal use of aim assist that made it so, but I had a blast in the multiplayer.
anyone know an optimal build to use for persona 5?
also when running Persona 4 arena, its hangs at a black screen after the intro. any fixes?

Never fully played through Lollipop Chainsaw, might be time to rip it.

Over one third of the games on the RPCS3 compatibility list are now categorized as playable.

This seems to be running great! But the shader compile really ruins things, why does it need to be like that?
It's not a trivial problem. Dolphin had to solve this as well and it took a long time (and work) to develop a good solution.

I assume the problem is an even bigger headache for PS3 emulation.

Because on consoles those shaders are precompiled as they know exactly what the underlying hardware is. One cannot do that for PC, because there are many different graphics cards, even within the same architecture sometimes you want to optimize for different models and GPU sizes.
Anyone have experience with importing savefiles from a CFW'd PS3 to RPCS3?
I'm trying to import my Tekken Tag Tournament 2 save which has all the characters and stages unlocked. I've copied the save folder (BLUS31002_AUTO) to my PC, tried decrypting it with Bruteforce Save Data, and then copied the decrypted save to rpcs3's corresponding savedata folder.
However, when I load TTT2 in RPCS3, the game says the save data is corrupted and prompts to make a new savefile.
