### Requirements

1) Setup RPCS3 with the appropriate PS3 files per their [Quick Start](https://rpcs3.net/quickstart) instructions.

2) Install the Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars v1.02 PKG file in RPCS3:

> Follow the prompts and enter the token you receive via email

3) Add other RPCN friends - I can't help you there :-)

> Configuration -> RPCN -> Friends

### Play!!

1) In SARBC select "Play Online" and then select "Unranked Match" if hosting, or "Join A Friend" if your friend is hosting.

2) Once in the lobby with your friend, select "Start Matchmaking" (if hosting)

3) Win!!

### Notes

- Unless you need them for troubleshooting, silence the logs in RPCS3 to preserve HDD/SDD health
> Configuration - Advanced - Silence All Logs

- FPS are uncapped in the game engine, I suggest limiting them at around 120-180 in RPCS3
> Configuration - GPU - Framelimiter

- Some values in the game inputs have been adjusted in the patch. To take advantage of them, disable all emulator deadzones/antideadzones for controllers

### Known Issues

- The game can poorly for about 2 minutes at each boot due to emulator incompatibilities
(queue compile attempt and fail)

- Scoring a goal on the Galleon map crashes the game due too emulator incompatibilities
(fails to allocate memory)

- Saving replays crashes the game

### Credits
