To properly emulate the skateboarding simulator Skate 3, you'll need RPCS3 software version v0.0.16-12324-56f7359d or newer.

You can download the latest emulator version from the developers' official website.

Add the game, then right-click it and configure the settings exactly as shown in the screenshots below:

CPU

Generally, you shouldn't need to touch anything in the CPU section, especially if you have a powerful processor (8 cores or more). However, if your chip has 6 cores or fewer, or if you're experiencing stuttering, audio glitches, or physics problems in-game, you'll need to tweak the "Preferred SPU threads" parameter:

Changing the "Preferred SPU threads" parameter from 1 to 3 can improve audio and game fluidity (not to be confused with FPS).

Additionally, on some older 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Core CPUs, you can achieve a slight performance boost by disabling Hyper-Threading in your motherboard's BIOS. In our test lab, disabling HT on a Xeon X5660 (a desktop equivalent and slightly faster than a Core i7-990) added 5-10 frames, depending on the in-game situation. On a Xeon E5-2620, it yielded 3-6 additional frames.
