PlayStation Network (PSN) is the online service used by PlayStation consoles starting from PS3
PlayStation 3
During the development stage for the PlayStation 3, Sony expressed their intent to build upon the functionality of its predecessor by creating a new interconnected service that keeps users constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network. In March 2006, Sony officially introduced its unified online service, tentatively named "PlayStation Network Platform". A list of supporting features was announced at the Tokyo Game Show later the same year.[1]
- Netplay in RPCS3 was introduced by GalCiv, who developed RPCN (an open-source server that emulates the P2P match-making done on the PlayStation 3). RPCN can also be used to communicate with private servers for games that require a dedicated server for multiplayer features. In this regard, games that require a custom server will not work unless a fan-made, private server is created. This is outside the scope of the emulator and will have to be developed by the community.
- There is a separate dedicated project called "PSORG Revival" to restoring PlayStation first, and third party original online functionality for gaming history preservation and education purposes.
- RPCN compatibility list, RPCN compatibility list #2
- Private/Custom servers for PlayStation 3 and RPCS3 RPCN (Also you can use some of the RPCS3 patches like Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway OpenSpy Online to connect private servers)
- Also there is a project called Destination Home; a preservation team dedicated to restoring PlayStation Home's original online functionality and network services, but progress is heavily reliant on the development of RPCN; as key networking functionality is yet to be implemented.
- For more information about other revive projects see Preservation projects page.
