You should as well contact any of the developers in the forum in order to know about the current situation of the emulator.


### Dependencies

__Windows__
* [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx)
* [Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145)
* [Cmake 3.1.0+](http://www.cmake.org/download/) (required; add to PATH)
* [Python 3.3+](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (required; add to PATH)

__Linux__
* GCC 5.1+ or Clang 3.5.0+ ([not GCC 6.1](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/1691))
* Debian & Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libasound2-dev libopenal-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libglew-dev zlib1g-dev libedit-dev libvulkan-dev git`
* Arch: `sudo pacman -S glew openal wxgtk cmake llvm`

__Mac OSX__
Mac OSX is not supported at this moment because it doesn't meet system requirements (OpenGL 4.3)
* Xcode 6+ (tested with Xcode 6.4)
* Install with Homebrew: `brew install glew wxwidgets`
* Remove '-framework QuickTime' from '_ldflags' in /usr/local/bin/wx-config

### Building

- __Windows__: </br>
1) To initialize the repository don't forget to execute `git submodule update --init` to pull the submodules. </br>
2) Open the *.SLN* file. </br>
3) Build the projects in *__BUILD_BEFORE* folder: right-click on every project > *Build*. </br>
4) Press *BUILD* > *Build Solution* or *Rebuild Solution*. </br>

- __Linux & Mac OSX__: </br>
1) `git clone https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git` </br>
2) `cd rpcs3/` </br>
3) `git submodule update --init` </br>
4) `cmake CMakeLists.txt && make GitVersion && make` </br>
5) Run RPCS3 with `./bin/rpcs3` </br>

If you are on OSX and want to build with llvm don't forget to add `-DLLVM_DIR=...` (or wherever llvm brew was installed) to cmake invocation.

When using GDB, configure it to ignore SIGSEGV signal (`handle SIGSEGV nostop noprint`).

##### CMake Build Options (Linux & Mac OSX)

- ```-DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBPNG=ON/OFF``` (default = *OFF*) </br>
Build against the shared libpng instead of using the builtin one. libpng 1.6+ highly recommended. Try this option if you get version conflict errors or only see black game icons.

- ```-DUSE_SYSTEM_FFMPEG=ON/OFF``` (default = *OFF*) </br>
Build against the shared ffmpeg libraries instead of using the builtin patched version. Try this if the builtin version breaks the OpenGL renderer for you.
