A new alpha build has been released for RPCS3-Android , the PlayStation 3 console emulator for Android devices. This time it has been updated almost entirely by developer DH with a few touches from contributors Ishan09811 and MAshhal .

Among the main new features, the ability to individually reset settings and save logs to a file has been introduced.

The Android Manifest has been updated to set the emulation activity to sensor landscape mode , thus improving screen orientation handling.

Improvements have been made to audio handling, respecting configurations with no audio backend.

The update also includes a code overhaul to replace deprecated APIs and apply system insets to the virtual controller overlay.

PPU builds have been optimized , with a refinement of the settings for the maximum number of LLVM build threads.

The project build has been sped up and now allows for the configuration of custom keys , as well as restoring the overlay save dialog and installing packages on boot.

Several issues have been fixed, including icon handling for disc games and localization of titles with custom names.

The build system has been optimized with more efficient generation of unpacked APKs and improvements in local compilation.

Finally, the RPCS3 submodule has been updated , providing better stability and integration with the main code.
