Alright, so you kids are talkin’ ’bout these “rap files” and “RPCS3,” huh? Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to this old woman, but I’ll try my best to make sense of it for ya. Ya know, back in my day, we didn’t have no fancy computers or whatchamacallits. We had good ol’ fashioned fun.
What in tarnation are RAP files?
From what I gather, these “rap” things ain’t got nothin’ to do with that music the young folks listen to. They call ’em “RevolutionPi Adapter Profile” files. Sounds mighty important, I tell ya. These files, they tell a program, somethin’ called “PiCtory,” about different gizmos and gadgets. It’s like givin’ directions, but for computers. You see, you need these “rap files” so PiCtory knows how to talk to your thingamajigs, you know, like timers and such.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ you gotta make your own “rap files” sometimes. That sounds like a whole lotta work, if you ask me. But if you gotta do it, you gotta do it, I guess. Just make sure you follow the instructions, or you’ll end up with a mess bigger than a chicken coop after a fox got in.
- Why you don’t need all them files clutterin’ up your space
Now, some smarty pants told me you don’t need to keep all them installation files on your computer. Says they just take up space. And space is precious, even on them fancy computers. It’s like havin’ a bunch of old newspapers lyin’ around. You gotta toss ’em out eventually, or you won’t have room for nothin’ else.
RPCS3 and them game files
Then there’s this “RPCS3” thing. Sounds like a robot name to me. But it ain’t no robot. It’s somethin’ you use to play them PlayStation 3 games on your computer. Now, I don’t know why you’d wanna do that. Them PlayStations are just fine on their own. But you kids and your fancy technology, I swear.
Anyways, to play them games, you need more than just the game itself. You need a whole bunch of files. Like “.SFB,” “.SFO,” and all sorts of other crazy names. It’s like makin’ a cake. You need flour, sugar, eggs, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Just one thing ain’t gonna do it.
And sometimes, you need this “.rap file.” I ain’t sure what it does exactly, but I heard you gotta put it in a special folder, somethin’ called “exdata.” Sounds like a secret hideout to me. And folks also talking about this “PKG file”, and this “RPCS3” can install them for ya!
Getting them “rap files” and checkin’ your “pkg files”
Now, gettin’ these “.rap files” ain’t always easy, I hear. You might need a special tool, somethin’ called a “RIF2RAP tool.” And you gotta pick somethin’ called an “IDPS.” Don’t ask me what that means, I ain’t got a clue. But it sounds important. It’s like pickin’ the right key to open a lock, I reckon.
And after you got all them files, you gotta make sure they work right. There’s a way to check if your “.pkg file,” that’s the game file, was “dumped” correctly. I guess that means if it was copied right. It’s like checkin’ if you got all the groceries on your list before you leave the store. You don’t wanna get home and find out you forgot the milk.
Keepin’ it all straight
So, there you have it. A whole bunch of mumbo jumbo about “rap files” and “RPCS3.” To be honest, it still sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me. But I hope I helped you understand it a little bit better. Just remember, keep your files organized, don’t keep what you don’t need, and make sure you got all the right pieces before you start. And if you get confused, just ask someone who knows what they’re doin’. Or better yet, go outside and play. That’s what I always say.
And one more thing, game folders for digital games? Ya gotta put ‘em under somethin’ called “dev_hdd0game”. Sounds like a secret code to me, but you youngsters seem to know all about these things.
