Running VSH in RPCS3

It is recommended to use firmware version 4.46 with VSH (otherwise known as XMB, the PS3's graphical user interface). Select File > Boot VSH/XMB.

Enabling Debug tab

To enable RPCS3's debug tab in the settings window,

1. Navigate to:

   RPCS3\GuiConfigs on Windows

   ~/.config/rpcs3/GuiConfigs on Linux

2. Open CurrentSettings.ini with a text editor
3. Change showDebugTab=false to showDebugTab=true

Modifying settings through config.yml

In most cases, users should use the Settings tab available in the GUI to modify configurations present in RPCS3. However, the GUI interface does not expose all settings available. This is done to prevent users from accidentally modifying sensitive settings. In the event users need to modify one of these settings, the following guide will demonstrate how:

First, a custom configurations for the particular game must be created. This is done to ensure that changes made only affect one game and not every game present in the emulator:

1. Launch RPCS3
2. Right-click on the game and press Create Custom Configuration
3. When the Settings Menu opens, hit Save and close the emulator

This will create a custom configuration for this game

The next step is navigate to the location where the custom (per-game) configuration is saved:

1. Right click on the game in the gamelist and click on Open custom config folder (or)
   Navigate to RPCS3\config\custom_configs\ on Windows or ~/.config/rpcs3/custom_configs/ on Linux
2. Locate the file config_GAMEID.yml where GAMEID is the Title ID of your particular game
3. Open the file using any text editor
4. Scroll through the list of settings available to find the one you wish to modify (don't forget to hit save after you've changed the necessary option)
