“All the bad luck in the world shouldn’t make your dream less worth pursuing” – Kazama Kiryu
Gameplay Review and Analysis, into a full story breakdown of Yakuza Dead Souls. Enjoy
RPCS3:
As of right now, any of the newer versions of RPCS3 don’t work with the game on my PC. It boots to a black screen. Version 0.0.33-17022-fa707047 is the most recent version that works. Links below.
-My Specs
13th Gen i7-13700H
RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
RAM: 16GB
-CPU
LLVM PPUP Decoder
ASMJIT SPU Decoder
SPU Block Size: Mega
-GPU
Renderer: Vulkan
Frame Limit: 30
Anti-aliasing: Disabled
Down on the bottom right, you want to turn on Strict Rendering Mode and VSync.
[Note that not turning on Strict Rendering results in nonstop random crashes, but as a result you can’t change the resolution from 720P. VSync also fails to engage in cutscenes, hence the constant screen tearing]
-Advanced
Debug Console Mode: Yes
Accurate DFMA: Yes
PPU Non-Java Mode Fixup: Yes
PPU/SPU LLVM Precompilation: Yes
VBlank Frequency: 120
[Yes, i know this sounds insane running at vblank 120 and locking at 30. But if you unlock to 60 with it like this, the game is double speed. If you lock to 30 without raising to 120, performance is just much much worse]
Driver Wakeup Delay: 200
-Debug Mode
Force CPU Bit Emulation: On
Accurate PPU Non-Java Mode: On
Accurate PPU Vector NaN Handling: On
Accurate PPU Float Condition Control: On
[Note that to unlock the debug mode, you’ve gotta edit some script in your RPCS3 install. Recommended following along with a YouTube vid]
That’s what worked for me. If you want to try rendering the game at higher resolutions, just turn off Strict Rendering Mode and do your thing.

Lovely game, seems very fun. Also I love these longer videos you've started doing, hope you succeed at this job my man!!!
I remember seeing the trailer for this before it came out and thinking it was a split screen co-op game for some reason
This is the best video on Dead Souls!
speaking of dead souls, theres a mod for yakuza 0 that changes almost everthing in the game including the story(but as for right now is still in wip) to a fanmade continuation of dead souls
