RPCS3 Manager

RPCS3 Manager installs and configures RPCS3 for PS3 games. It can install the emulator, open its firmware installer, scan game folders, and create Steam entries that launch a selected game. The manager also keeps an activity log. Use firmware and game files that you are entitled to use.

Install

Install it from the portal (the Gaming tab), or from a checkout of the repository:

bazzite-console/apps/rpcs3/install.sh                         # the app, its launcher, a menu entry and a Desktop icon
bazzite-console/apps/rpcs3/install.sh --no-desktop-shortcut   # without the Desktop icon
bazzite-console/apps/rpcs3/install.sh --uninstall             # remove it; --purge removes its settings too

The launcher is ~/.local/bin/ps5-rpcs3-manager; the app runs on the suite's shared Python environment.

Use it

Install RPCS3, then use its firmware setup before adding games. Add folders that contain your PS3 games and refresh the library; select a game to manage its Steam entry. RPCS3 is a desktop emulator, so game compatibility and performance vary by title and are not guaranteed on PlayStation 5 hardware running Bazzite.

Under the RPCS3 Install and RPCS3 Uninstall pills, the RPCS3 line says Not installed. or Installed., with the button to use. Its tooltip says which build is installed, or what Install takes, and when a newer RPCS3 is out. When another build than the one pinned for this version of the app is installed, or RPCS3 updated itself in its own window, the tooltip says so, and Install puts the pinned build back. Another build and a newer RPCS3 also go to the log, once.
