RPCS3 requires PS3 firmware (usually version 4.90 or latest). Using an outdated or incorrectly installed PS3UPDAT.PUP can cause system calls to fail.
When a real PS3 game crashes, the console’s hypervisor catches the exception and displays an error (e.g., 80010017). RPCS3 mimics this behavior but lacks the hardware exception handling. Instead, it monitors thread states:
CloseHandle(hDumpFile);
