RPCS3 is one step closer to letting users play PS3 games without installing the official PS3 firmware. The emulator has now fully reimplemented another PS3 system module, cellSysmodule, replacing the version that would normally be loaded from Sony’s firmware. You still need to install the PS3 firmware today, but this is another important milestone toward RPCS3’s long-term goal of eventually making it unnecessary.

The RPCS3 team, creators of the top free emulator for playing PlayStation 3 games, has asked people to stop submitting AI-generated slop code changes. They said: “Please stop submitting AI slop code pull requests to RPCS3. We will start banning those who do without disclosing. There are plenty of resources online to learn how to debug and code instead of generating slop that you don’t understand and that doesn’t work.” The team is not against AI tools, but many AI code changes are just AI slop, not even tested, and sent by people who do not understand the code. This wastes the team’s time on this very hard project that needs deep knowledge of PlayStation 3 hardware. Many other free software projects have the same problem.

Please enjoy agave with rpc turned on and replaying mainnet on a single replay thread at 35% use. You can clearly see the auctions and the white space is extra capacity. Since we have the base for a config file now, someone should send a PR to extend the config/tune it for non voting validators. Full agave on 8 cores, would be a very cool demo!

Sui is sunsetting JSON-RPC on July 20. If your indexer still reads Sui over JSON-RPC, the clock is real. Sentio SDK 4.0 is already ready. Full gRPC support. Faster. More complete. Zero manual rewrites with sentio-ai-kit. The owl prepared ahead of the deadline. #Sentio# #BNBCHAIN#

Note: you can repoint your wallet RPC to localhost, though make sure to set your node up so it functions as an RPC. However, many in-browser dapps will not work as effectively this way, and many others hardcoded their RPC to their own server. I am increasingly becoming a fan of avoiding browser dapps entirely and just doing everything by command line. Just did a full end-to-end test: updated my ENS record using a local python script reading and sending through my local node.
