PS3 ISO Import Support

LaunchBox for Windows13.27

šŸ“‹ Summary

Add support in LaunchBox for importing PlayStation 3 ISO files now that RPCS3 can launch ISOs directly.

ā— Problem

RPCS3 supports PS3 .iso files, but currently:

  • LaunchBox does not recognize .iso files when importing PS3 games

  • Users must use other formats or workarounds to get PS3 games into their library

  • This adds friction for PS3 collections stored as ISOs

šŸ’” Proposal

Update the PS3 platform import logic to:

  • Detect and import PS3 .iso files

  • Associate them with RPCS3 by default where applicable

  • Treat PS3 ISOs like other supported disc image formats during import and scanning

šŸ“¦ Benefits

  • Aligns LaunchBox with current RPCS3 capabilities

  • Simplifies PS3 library imports for ISO based collections

  • Reduces manual steps and workarounds

šŸ’” Notes

  • Should not affect existing folder based or decrypted PS3 imports

  • Any necessary platform file extension lists should be updated accordingly

    Hi there,

    With todayā€™s release of LaunchBox for Windows 13.27, this feature has now been implemented. We now recognise ISO files as part of the import process. You can update to the latest version from within the app to receive this.

    PS3 ISO Support

    RPCS3 now supports ISO files directly. Launchbox should recognize ISO files when importing PS3 games (currently does not), and also PS3 platform should support scanning sub-directories (USA/WORLD/JAPAN/etc) when looking for new content.
    Thanks
