check_frame_stall() runs from do_local_task, on the RSX thread's own FIFO loop. That works for a guest-side hang with the RSX idle -- every hang chased so far -- and is useless for the opposite case, where the RSX thread is the one stuck. It never returns to do_local_task, so the detector that would report the hang is starved by the hang. Tales of Xillia 2 (BLUS31397) is exactly that. Reproduced on device: guest mutex traffic at zero for minutes while sys_event_queue_receive and sys_timer_usleep tick at flat identical rates, rsx::thread accumulating 4.99s of CPU per 5s of wall clock, and NV406E_SEMAPHORE_ACQUIRE its costliest method at 1.59ms a call. The RSX is spinning on a guest semaphore the stopped guest will never write, and nothing reported any of it. The same condition is now polled once a second from the PPU syscall usage thread, which is independent and keeps running. That half only dumps; the on-screen message and the native-UI flip stay on the RSX side, because the overlay is not safe to drive from another thread. Both share one dump budget so they cannot produce four dumps between them.
ARMSX3
Uses the latest RPCS3 upstream code (the recent ARM64 improvements included).
Building
arm64-v8a and armv8.2 is supported. You need the Android SDK with NDK r27 or newer, CMake 3.30 or newer, and a JDK 17. Android Studio ships all of these.
Clone with submodules, then fetch the two third party checkouts that are not submodules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3.git
cd ARMSX3
git clone https://github.com/SnowflakePowered/librashader 3rdparty/librashader
git clone https://github.com/bylaws/libadrenotools android/armsx3-ui/app/src/main/cpp/libadrenotools
Build the core. This is the long part and produces an unstripped library of around 1.3 GB:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
cmake -B build-android -G Ninja \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$ANDROID_HOME/ndk/<version>/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \
-DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-31 \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
cmake --build build-android --target rpcsx-android -j8
Strip it and put it where the app expects it:
llvm-strip --strip-unneeded build-android/android/libarmsx3-core.so
cp build-android/android/libarmsx3-core.so \
android/armsx3-ui/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/
Then build the app:
cd android/armsx3-ui
export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease
The apk lands in app/build/outputs/apk/release/.
Note that the core library has to be rebuilt and copied again whenever anything under rpcs3/ or android/src/ changes. Gradle does not build it for you.
The Discord Social SDK is proprietary and is not redistributed here. Get it from Discord's developer portal and drop it in app/libs/ and app/src/main/cpp/discord_sdk/ if you want that feature. The build skips it otherwise.
Running it needs PS3 firmware, which is not included. License
