There was exactly one previous log: RPCSX.log became RPCSX.old.log and the previous old was deleted. That loses the capture reliably, because of how people send it -- play, stop, relaunch the app to reach the file, and the relaunch rotates the wanted session into .old; relaunch once more, to find it or to share it or because the launcher restored the app, and it is gone. Three captures have been lost this way (#87, #91, and the Call of Duty audio one). In two of them what arrived was a 47-line log ending before the game had booted, which is the replacement session rather than the one played. Two defences, because generations alone would not have saved those: 1. A session that produced almost nothing does not get a slot. The logs that did the damage were boot-only -- a few KB, stopping within a second of launch -- and pushing one of those down the chain is what evicted the real capture. Below the threshold the file is discarded instead. A session with 'Silence All Logs' on still writes far more than this (~190 KB for a 29-minute one), so that setting does not trip it. 2. Three generations instead of one, so an ordinary mistake costs nothing.
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
