This page lists the current existing community patches for RPCS3's game patching system. To use them, create a patch.yml file and add one or more of the following patches to it. See the detailed instructions below.

Refer to the Canary page for patches that are in-development, severely buggy or generally not recommended for use.

How to use patches

The first step is to create a patch.yml file:

  1. Open your preferred text editor (e.g: Notepad++, VSCode, Sublime).
  2. Add the line Version: 1.2 to the top of the file. Do not paste anything else on this line. Hit Enter and move to the next line.
  3. You can find a list of all patches available for various games below. Copy the lines of code for the patch that you wish to apply. Do not try to edit any of the patches unless you know what you are doing.
  4. Click Save and name the file patch.yml. Do NOT change the capitalization or use any other name, RPCS3 will not be able to apply the patches.
  5. Save the file in relevant location:
    Windows: \patches\
    Linux: ~/.config/rpcs3/patches/

Next you need to select the patches you wish to enable in the Patch Manager. To do this:

  1. Boot RPCS3
  2. Select Manage > Game Patches to access the Patch Manager.
  3. Navigate to the patch you wish to enable and tick the checkbox corresponding to the patch.
  4. Click Save and boot the game.

How to identify the PPU hash from your executable

If the patch that you wish to use already mentions the correct PPU hash, you can ignore this section. However, patches for some games mention only a single hash and leave it up to the user to identify the PPU hash for their version and apply the same. In such cases, follow the instructions mentioned here:

  1. Boot the game for a minute and then close the emulator.
  2. Open RPCS3.log (or just RPCS3 with the Notepad icon).
  3. Search for the string PPU executable hash:.
  4. Copy the value that looks like PPU-b8c34f774adb367761706a7f685d4f8d9d355426. This is the PPU hash of your game.
  5. Open patch.yml with any text editor (e.g: Notepad++, VSCode, Sublime).
  6. Find the existing PPU hash in the patch and replace the same with the PPU hash you obtained in Step 4.
