N8 and R8 are different things. N8 means 8MB QSPI Flash, R8 means 8MB OPI PSRAM.
Try without -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM and if it boots, I'll tell you what else to change.
This is for ESP32 Only! Remove please: -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue

Additional to what @me-no-dev said. Actual https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32.git does not yet support the S3.
If you want to try with platformio you can use my fork.
I use a ESP32-S3 with 8 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM with actual Arduino master.
I does work fine! (If you found the correct combination of the flash types)

[Jason2866]

Mandantory. Use esptool.py v3.3. Only this version has the flash size patch for the S3.

thank u for your answer，My boards N8 connect to 8 MB PSRAM, R8 connect to 8MB FLASH. remove the config your give, the issue is not fixed

thank you for your help so much, use your fork solve my problem. divce work fine .

Follow your fork, partition table error has been fixed. but I also have a problem with esptool.py v3.3, when the upload process start, esptool.py connect my device time too short to config strapping pin(boot and rts),

[Jason2866]

Reduce upload speed. If this does not work try to put device manually in Upload mode.
If this is not working try a different USB cable and maybe a extern power supply.
This problem is not caused from the framework or Platformio
Since it is a DIY board you have to search the problem here (Logic to put device in Boot mode)

@UnexpectedMaker No it is not related. S3 does compile with my Platformio fork and flashing via VSC is working too. The Arduino issue is probably that the reference install.json has no S3 entry.

Ok, nps! Removing links other issue :)

I have the same problem. I tought it was because of PIO.
PIO ISSUE

With 4mb csv it is working fine ( except my data folder does not fit into the fs ) and if i use default_16mb.csv it will boot loop. ( even with default 8mb csv )

Iam using ESP32-WROVER-E ( 16mb flash 8mb external ram )
