Tales of Xillia 2 (BLUS31397) polls this syscall in a loop: 20,664 calls in a 19 minute session, 5,123 of them inside a single second. It was logged at warning, so each one wrote a line to external storage on Android -- the same shape as the SPU recompiler diagnostics, and enough on its own to stop frames landing. Reported as issue #76, an intermittent hang every few minutes that ends with "Game has stopped responding - it is no longer drawing frames". That message comes from the 30 second frame-stall watchdog, which is what a saturated log writer looks like from the RSX thread. Moved to trace. Nothing is lost: a container's size is fixed at creation, and sys_memory_container_create and _destroy both still log at warning, so the events that carry information are still recorded. sys_memory_get_user_memory_size in the same file already has the equivalent treatment upstream -- it only logs when the values it reports actually change. Not confirmed as the cause of #76 yet; the reporter has not attached a log, and 19 minutes of play here did not reproduce the hang. It is the largest log source this title produces by a wide margin.
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
