Once it finishes, it will notify you that the installation is complete.
Check whether RPCS3 is on the “Post Installation List” and poke the “Add Games!”
nudge the “Skip For Now” button.
Once inside the “Emulation” folder, enter the “Roms” folder.

Open Firefox or any other web app you use and go to the RPCS3 website,RPCS3.net.
On the homepage, nudge the “Quickstart” button.
Scroll down the “Quickstart” page until you see the “Software Requirements” heading.
There, punch the “PlayStation 3 System Software” button.
Clicking the “PlayStation 3 System Software” button will lead you to the PlayStation website.
Scroll down until you arrive at the “How to reinstall the PS3 console system software” section.

After you open RPCS3, choose File > Install Firmware.
RPCS3 will now drop in the firmware.
A new window will open with “Compiling PPU Modules” shown on it.
Wait for the installation to finish, and then close RPCS3.
Now it’s time to add your PS3 games to Steam with Steam Rom Manager.
