RPCS3 Support

[xer0-1ne]

It might be premature, but I've been working on getting RPCS3 working for PS3 support. Their project has come a long way and seems to be working a lot better now. I am working on a way to launch the emulator in headless mode and directly launch the game.

There are a few uncertainties... to include how RPCS3 inventories the games and where that is stored. If I get some answers to these questions, do you think adding support for PS3 would be possible?

Might be difficult to get it working out of the box. I did have rpcs3 installed on a SteamOS-like Arch Linux setup in the past. Adding games and controller setup were a problem, but once configured it works, although it can look a bit ugly during launch.

The first step would be to include the emulator. I tried to do this before but the build from AUR was failing at the time. At least then people could manually set it up if they want.

The build is working (as of today) and installed without issues. The build I am having issues with is t he Xenia (XB360) emulator. That was my next project after I got the PS3 working good. I'm not sure when you messed with it last, but now each game can have it's own configuation and you can launch in "no-gui" mode allowing you to open the game directly once you've added it.

Adding the games and controllers is going to be an issue. As it looks now, there is no way around the controller configuration process as of yet. I am still looking to see if there can be a universal assignment. However, with the Steam overlay that you have, you could just map to the default keyboard setup they have.

Yeah, Xenia is tough. The port to Linux is still unfinished. See the issue about it: xenia-project/xenia#1430

When the controller is mapped to the keyboard, you lose all analog input, so that wouldn't be the best solution

Right now, I just disable the controller feature in steam for rpcs3. The only is that I have hit escape to drop from fullscreen and close the game manually. DS4 controller works great, but I don't think other controllers would work at this point.
