RPCS3 (PS3 EMU) goes in game using DX12

No it doesn't. It requires a just in time cross-assembler. JVM has about 1/2 the speed of raw C++. That certainly isn't 10X. Now, having a perfectly closed translation scheme for both PowerPC instructions to x86 and old CELL-specific instructions to shader language is going to be difficult to create, but 10x? No.

But then would it still be 100% emulation? Wouldn't some games or apps run faster or slower than intended based on the host IPC?

EDIT: Assuming the games were written to use the Cell CPUs clock frequency as a basis for fps or how fast the code executes?

 

But your original reply was about the IPhone emulating PS3?

I was about it being easier to do using Vulkan (in general).

Fair enough ;)

Frame-lock the window to 30fps. It's easy in GLUT. Depending on the window manager you use, it may even take care of the CPU-based physics systems (if it has to be initialized before everything else in the program).

Forgot the rule of thumb with emulation -- effectively emulating other hardware generally requires 10x the processing power of original hardware, but yeah. You theoretically could. Not well, but you could.

Could you look at your PM's please ;)

0: This is just about the perfect time to buy a PS3. The exclusive games are dirt cheap and the later gen console revisions of the hardware are far more reliable and cheap. Seriously this isn't (just) a smart ass response it is a good idea to get a PS3 (and even a 360) for the exclusives you might be missing.

Already have a PS3, i want the extra features that comes with emulators.

One day I will be able to play Monster Hunter Frontier in French/Italian/English on my PC, it's just a matter of time... 4 5 6 7 8 9 years later: It's finally coming!!!
