The developments that have been made on RPCS3 are absolutely amazing!
For those who do not know, RPCS3 is an open-source PlayStation 3 emulator in development for Windows and Linux.
From the website:
Since we last looked at Demon's Souls there have been major improvements to the stability of the game. Earlier the game would randomly but with high certainty hang on loading screens making it very hard to progress. Moreover the audio was buggy and the sound mixer thread would randomly crash, which in turn would soon crash the rest of the game. But these stability issues have been fixed. Although performance is not optimal even on an i7-6700k the game is fully working and runs stable. Therefore it is considered playable, but perhaps not fully enjoyable.

From the RPCS3 Discord:
Today a "small improvements" PR by @Nekotekina actually made a very popular game completely playable. Demon's Souls now no longer hangs on loading screens, and no longer crashes otherwise. The video below shows gameplay from every level in the game, and proves that it runs stable. The system requirements are high, even an i7-6700k struggles at times, but of course RPCS3 can only get faster and faster from here. For example, @kd-11 has opened this PR with performance improvements (https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pull/3075). However given a fast enough CPU Demon's Souls is now playable.

An Open-source PlayStation 3 Emulator
RPCS3 is an open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger written in C++ for Windows and Linux. The project began development on May 23rd, 2011 and currently supports modern Vulkan, Direct3D 12 and OpenGL graphic APIs. The emulator is capable of booting and playing hundreds of commercial games. With each and every contribution and donation, more and more games are becoming closer and closer to either booting or full playability.
The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic of PlayStation 3 emulation that can be performed on compatible devices and operating systems. All information was obtained legally by purchasing PlayStation 3 hardware and software. Additional information was obtained from various sources on the internet that include but is not limited to system hardware and software documentation. Most of this information can be found on the PlayStation 3 Developer Wiki.
RPCS3 is not designed to enable illegal activity. Piracy will not be tolerated. Any users conversing about piracy upon joining the Discord server, forums or GitHub community will be re-directed elsewhere. Remember, the best way to play PlayStation 3 games is to play them on the original hardware. For now.
