Adding PS3 games

There are 2 types of PS3 games available: Blu-Ray discs and PlayStation Network titles (PSN):

• Title IDs that start with a B are Blu-Ray disc titles.
• Title IDs that start with a N are PSN titles.

Blu-ray disc titles can be copied directly in the \roms\ps3 folder while PSN titles need to be added in the \emulators\rpcs3\dev_hdd0\game folder of your RetroBat installation.

{% hint style="danger" %} PSN titles need to be decrypted to be used with RPCS3 emulator. {% endhint %}

Adding Blu-ray disc title

Simply copy the game folder to the \roms\ps3 folder of your RetroBat installation and rename the folder with a .ps3 extension:

The game will directly be available in RetroBat.

Adding PSN titles

Once the game has been added to the emulator from the "Install package" or/and "Add games" menu and the game is working succesfully from the emulator, create a m3u file in the \roms\ps3 folder that points to the EBOOT.BIN file of the game in the \emulators\rpcs3\dev_hdd0\game game folder:
