Start working on Vita emulation, you cowards.

With how much of a beast of a PC you need to use RPCS3 at a good framerate, I wouldn't hold much hope for an Android PS3 emulator.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

RPCS3 runs well on a steam deck, which is not exactly a beast.

Compared to a phone it is.

Depends a lot on the game, Ridge Racer 7 is easy to run for example. Playing it on 5600X + RX 6800 at 4x scaling with rock solid 60 FPS. I'm sure some powerful phones could run games at native res and 30 FPS

Maybe, but well-known PS3 exclusive titles like "the last of us" won't run.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's no longer an exclusive, there's a PC remake. You could've picked a better example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I've picked this game as an example, as it is one of the best looking PS3 games.

But you're right, it has been remade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Sure if all you want to play are small indie PSN games, but that's not what people want a PS3 emulator for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Well, emators are mostly CPU-bound and the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a surprisingly powerful chip. It's doable with a flagship phone.

More doom per phone

Just go watch MGS4 on Youtube (although the story is absolute trash tier), what little gameplay there is is terrible. I think in my completion of it I had about 5 hours of gameplay + 11 hours of cutscenes.
