RPCS3 also provided a brief summary of its progress in the description provided with the video:
“Until just a few days ago Red Dead Redemption would only load up to the main menu and show a few frames before hanging. Some persistent users could quickly get ingame from there, but once again it would only show a few frames before hanging. With recent improvements to graphics emulation thanks to Jarves the game can now continue to run without hanging and we can finally go ingame and control the (sometimes invisible) character.”
All of that is to say the improvements made in emulating Red Dead Redemption are entirely due to direct improvements made to the emulator itself. This isn’t a mod where the developers are trying to fix Red Dead Redemption itself, but rather just issues emulating the PlayStation 3 on PC. The hardware is very different and it’s going to take a lot of time to get it right. And even then, the PC hardware necessary to emulate PlayStation 3 games may be beyond what the average enthusiast PC can put out.
Red Dead Redemption just happens to be the perfect example for RPCS3’s recent progress, but other games than Red Dead Redemption are running much better on PC. For example, Demon’s Souls was shown running on the emulator back in March. Since then, huge improvements have been made with games like Ni no Kuni, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, and Soul Calibur 4.
