What to change for Rock Band 3 under the CPU tab in RPCS3's Custom Configuration.
This section is for people playing with USB/MIDI Keyboards, Pro Guitars, or MIDI Drums!
- If you’re not playing with a wired Pro Guitar, Pro Drums, or a USB/MIDI keyboard, [skip over this section].
- If you’re playing with a PS3 Rock Band 3 Keyboard or wireless PS3 Mustang Pro Guitar, [skip over this section].
Make sure your MIDI instrument is connected. After that, let’s go ahead and focus on RPCS3’s I/O tab.
YOU MAY HAVE TO MAKE THE WINDOW WIDER TO READ THE OPTIONS!
Performance Tweaks:
- Change “Pad Handler Mode” to “Multi-threaded” - May help with thread distribution, leading to more even performance. Your mileage may vary.
Recommended:
- 🎹 MIDI Keyboard Players: Leave your “Emulated MIDI type” on “Keyboard” and select your keyboard or MIDI interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
- 🎸 MIDI Pro Guitar Players: Change your “Emulated MIDI type” from “Keyboard” to “Guitar (17 Frets)” if you have a Mustang Pro Guitar, or “Guitar (22 Frets)” if you have a Squier Pro Guitar, then select your MIDI to USB interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
- 🥁 MIDI Pro Drums Players: Change your “Emulated MIDI type” from “Keyboard” to “Drums”, then select your Electronic MIDI Drum Kit or MIDI to USB interface in the drop-down menu next to it.
- Enable “Keep Pads Connected” - This can help fix a problem with instrument controllers soft-locking the game when RPCS3 interfaces, such as the RPCN invites, come up.
