Ps3 emulator

[qazwertsad232]

Anyone knows where I can download a working ps3 emulator? I've been looking in the web for so long now and I always end up in a surveyed website or has a password. If anyone knows where I can a ps3 emulator I would appreciate it much.

Ive looked for the same thing for the xbox 360 and most of them want you to pay or sign up for something to get it. I bet that when the PS4 comes out and you can't play ps3 games on it(without there streaming service) there will be small boom in the amount of ps3 elulators. I bet one of them will be free. I bet its just a waiting game now.

how about ps2 emulators, I have got a ps1 emulator myself, but I am looking for a ps2 one :-)

Would requires a good deal of power to emulate a PS3.... Never seen a PS3 emu myself, maybe they don't exist yet.

From what I've heard (I may be completely wrong) emulators require 10x the processing power as the original console. So unfortunately most people don't have 10x the power of a ps3 so we cant emulate it. However I may be completely wrong. :)

PCSX2 is great for PS2 emulating 1080p too!

+1 for PCSX2! Works great!

I've seen some ps3 emulators working on youtube. Looks legit though.

I dont know man, from what ive seen from youtube videos there are working emulators that dont need 10x proces. power.

How much can 10x be for a pc cause consoles are very low powered

there is no ps3 emulator that can play commercial games.the most successful one can only play simple homebrew games.

this post was made a while ago.

as to the specs needed to emulate a ps3,they won't need to be extreme,I'd say an average i5 sandybridge with a midrange graphics cards like a 650/650 ti and ideally 8GB of ram,but 8GB ram is just a generally good spec to be able to function well with a majority of programs.

although if the emulator could run commercial games today you could have a 3970X and a GTX Titan (since emulators generally favor Nvidia cards and can't use multiple gpu's) with 16GB of 2ghz memory and still get bad fps.this wouldn't be due to hardware lacking,it'd be more so due to lack of optimization.it took pcsx2 around 10 years to get the emulator as perfected as it is now,and there are still bugs.and they had a much larger team than RPCS3.

since there are much less people working on the ps3 emulator than there were on a ps2 emulator,and the ps3 is more complex than the ps2 it'll take much much longer for them to code it.

I'd say expecting a fully functional ps3 emulator before 2016 is being overly optimistic.

and as to an XBOX 360 emulator,I don't think there is an actual working one yet.

also,a word of caution,typically when there's a survey for an emulator,and there are no other available links to download it from other websites it's simply a scam.some random person uploads a random file,links it,claims it to be a ps3 emulator,and makes money of tons of people who fill out the survey.

they might even have a youtube video showing it working,although these are pretty easy to fake.

when there is a ps3 emulator,that plays commercial games, you'll be able to download it from a site like emulator-zone.

same goes for XBOX 360

Oh, haha, hahaha, HAHAHAHAHA, hahahak. No but seriously, PS3 and 360 emulators don't exist. Not this hardware cycle or the one after this, or the one after. Comeback in 5 or 6 years and check some really hardcore emulation forums to see how the project are doing by then. It's like this because you need a fast 4 core CPU to emulate a Wii at full speed. The PS3's Cell is like a bazilion times more powerful then the whatever shit IBM cooked up for the Wii and it's architecture is wacky and convoluted so the emulator would have to be really complex, way more complex then a Wii or PS2 emulator. It way be like 20 time the power needed to emulate the PS3. Current hardware and software just doesn't cut it for now. Emulators for PS3 and Xbox 360 don't exist. PS3's Cell is far to wacky and complex to be emulated without dedicating your life to understanding it's ins and outs. And the Xbox is simply to powerful to be emulated anytime in the near future. But an Xbox emulator will come first. That could be as little as 4 years off. Not that anyone could run it at full speed at that point.

dammit just seeing the thread title made me excited that I could go play ni no kuni

I only want to play that one game and I can't justify shelling out whatever bucks just to get a console to play a single game.

dude stop bs'ing this.

task manager while playing kingdom hearts 2 final mix on pcsx2 @1920x1080 with 16xMSAA using the pcsx2 hw hacks menu.capped at 60fps the whole time while running it at the lingering sentiment boss fight.

using an i5 2500k gtx 480 and 8GB ram.far from the best pc out there,somewhere between mid and high end by today's standards.

if it really REQUIRED a fast quad core then it would use atleast 50% of all cores.

heres the fight on the pcsx2 page.

they used a 2500k 9800GTX+ and 8GB ram.

I used to emulate it on a core 2 duo system and it worked fine .

as for wii,emulating it is a joke.

AMD phenom 965,HD 5770,and 4GB ram.

not sure if your trolling or if you really didn't know

Where to get your roms from? just any site, like my GBC/GBA roms?

[SubTract]

The issue is to do with architecture.

Remember when you could install linux on a ps3, then emulate windows from it.

It would work but was a horrendous experience. The same would apply. Yes it would be possible. Would they actually be playable.... I doubt it.

here is a video of windows XP running via linux on a PS3

edit: I might add linux has PPC builds this is the reason it is possible to run well on the PS3.
