Hello!

It's been a long time since my last post so I must apologize for this delay and PPU LLVM changes I promised are still not ready at this exact moment. I took an unpaid vacation this summer, to get some rest and do some unrelated things. I joined RPCS3 many years ago in 2013 and it has been a really long story for me... But enough excuses for now.

At the end of June, I decided to send my June donation share to one of our active developers, Megamouse. He started contributing to RPCS3 from doing amazing job of porting a lot of GUI code from wxWidgets to Qt in order to improve user experience. Nowadays, he is doing a lot of work in the area of GUI improvements, gamepad support, fixing bugs and maintaining some parts of the RPCS3 codebase. Recently he implemented the Patch Manager - A system for applying game modifications such 60 FPS patches. Although it was initially implemented by me, his work on top of this is outstanding for improving convenience, accessibility, and functionality.

Now it's the end of July and I'm going to do this again. This time it will be GalCiv who has been working on RPCS3 for some time. He worked on the screenshot functionality, microphone support, cheats functionality, DualShock 3 support, multiple handlers for pads and support for special peripherals among many other things. During this past year, he has been hard at work on an absolutely astounding feature - A free and open-source PlayStation Network replacement called RPCN, and today is its announcement:

Next update will be in August after I'm finally able to implement some of my current plans.

Thank you for your support.
