Three faults that showed up in tester logs, all of which made the emulator look broken in ways the log then hid. Eternal Sonata flooded with SPU "Invalid code" errors: when the analyser produced no data the recompiler had an empty branch with a TODO where the fallback belonged, so the block was neither compiled nor marked, and the same address was retried forever. It now marks the block failed and lets the interpreter take it -- 6320 errors in one session down to none. The unknown-instruction and halt messages are rate-limited, per opcode and per address rather than globally, so a repeating fault reports once instead of every execution. One tester's log went from 600 MB to 2.0 MB; the log volume itself had been slowing the emulator, so this is not only a readability fix. ARM64 fault classification in Thread.cpp preferred a heuristic comparing si_addr against the PC, which misreads a genuine data fault as an instruction fetch. It now decodes ESR first and only falls back to the heuristic, and an SPU halt at the 0xffdead00 sentinel is reported as a guest assertion rather than a host segfault. BLEACH crashed here, and the misclassification gated every recovery path behind it.
ARMSX3
Uses the latest RPCS3 upstream code (the recent ARM64 improvements included).
Building
Only arm64-v8a 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
