RPCS3 - Demon's Souls now Playable at 4K 60FPS for the first time!

In a new milestone not only for RPCS3, but the souls series in general. Whatcookie recently made a patch for Demon's Souls (DeS) allowing it to bypass the games 30fps cap and run at 60 and 120fps for the first time! Marking the first time any souls game has ever reached 120fps!

UPDATE: The new v2.0 FPS patch fixes the pre-rendered cutscene so they no longer freeze on the first frame, and the FPS counters are now accurate as well. The v2.0 patch also no-longer requires you to change the "Clocks Scale" setting (leave it at 100). And for 60fps, you don't need to change the "Vblank Frequency" setting now either (leave it at 60 hz). We recommend everyone update to the new version linked below.

You can find the new patch in our new patch manager. Simply right-click Demon's Souls in RPCS3 and open the game patches. Or go to Manage then Game patches and find it there.

If you're running the game at 120fps and run into geometry the players movement will be very slow until you stand-still and start moving again, so we don't recommend playing at 120fps. But you can change "Vblank Frequency" on the advanced settings tab to 120 if you want to try it out.

Exactly what most of us have been waiting for since RPCS3 was first started. Congrats to all the developers and contributers for hitting such an amazing milestone.

Update 3: Cutscenes are now working properly with the new v2.0 FPS patch for Demon's Souls. This new patch also no-longer requires changing the "Clocks Scale" or "Vblank Frequency" settings for 60fps. 120fps is possible by changing vblank to 120hz, but not recommended due to some movement issues when going over 60fps. You can find use this patch by opening RPCS3, and going to "Manage" > "Game Patches". Simply download the latest game patches and then enable the 60 FPS patch.

Amazing job dudes. Having tested this for the past few hours, I can say that it works unbelievably well. You guys deserve 10X more support than you currently get & updates like this vindicate my support of your Patreon for the past few years. Keep up the awesome work!

Everyone said this was impossible undoable because the games physics are tied to the games fps and now this... just wow

[IceBreak]
