PS3 Emulator Devs Beg Contributors to Stop Submitting Low‑Quality, AI‑Generated Code

The developers behind the PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 are urging contributors to stop submitting low‑quality, AI‑generated code. They say a growing number of recent pull requests clearly come from code generation tools and create extra work for maintainers instead of actually making the emulator more capable. For that reason, the devs plan to ban users who keep submitting slop code without clearly stating (and therefore understanding) what it is, per an X post spotted by Kotaku.

The RPCS3 team urged wannabe contributors to learn how to debug and write code independently before touching the emulator's codebase, as PS3 emulation relies on precise handling of low‑level CPU and GPU behavior, where incorrect patches can introduce hard‑to‑trace bugs and regressions.

Many AI-generated pull requests may seem correct at first glance, but they often have critical issues. They might not compile properly, may not align with the ...
