Replying to Playstation 3 Emulator?

Its not about the graphics. Its about pcs cpus only having 2 or 4 cores while the ps3 has 8 (7 running). Ps3 games are designed to use 6 of the 8 cores so running a ps3 game through a processor with only 4 cores would not work. If we could create virtual cores and access the processing power of the gpu for general processing then we might get somewhere.

Replying to turbopowerdmaxsteelIf I can run God of War II and many other games at full speed on a $500 laptop, then I don't see how we could be 10 years behind a PS3.System Specs(All parts came with the computer, no modifications or enhancements of any kind)-Model: Gateway NV53-CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 M300 clock@ ~2.44 GHz per core-Main Disk: 500 GB SATA II HDD-RAM: 4GB DDR2-GPU: ATi M880G Graphics core w/ ATi Radeon HD 4330 expansion card--1 GB Video memory-Final cost (minus sales tax): $499.95-OS: Windows 7 Premium 64-BitEmulator:PCSX2 Pre-Alpha v0.9.7.2374(svn) 32-bit versionAnd this is just a laptop. A desktop for a similar price would be even more powerful. So stop using the whole PS3 emulation is impossible because ps2 emulation isnt even optimal yet argument; it's not valid.

Certainly you know nothing about what a PC is capable of. The Xbox 360 has a processor that is inferior to what is available on the PC. The graphics chip in the 360 is also a laugh, packing only 40 stream processoris, it is equivalent to the PC's  Radeon HD 2400 series graphics card. The Radeon HD 3870 packs 320 stream processors. And as of late 2010, the Radeon HD 5970 packs a total of 3200 stream processors. The PC has better frame rates, faster load screens, better graphics, and can support higher than 1920x1080 resolution.

hey there's a processor from intel (SANDY BRIDGE project) which is going to be released in 2011.The special thing about this processor is, It is both a processor and a GPU . Motherboad for this processor's are released. It uses the same i7 processor socket and I think they don't have PCIE graphics slot. They are much more powerful than the i7. Intel showed its project/demo in Intel Developer Forum go google it & watch the demo. It encodes a Very high qualiy HD VIDEO in seconds than a high end i7. I don't have words to explain it. Please check this & make decisions about ps3 emulators /txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley2.Gif

Boss,

Above config is only OK! and I use PCSX2 which gives better performance in my Laptop. I have ASUS G51Jx-X3 (i5, 4GB DDR3, 500GB7200RPM, 1GB nvidia GTS360 SLI 15.6 fullHD TFT).  It gives an amazing performance!! 

Now if PCSX3 comes, my Laptop is definately going to support the required config and speed!

I am just waiting for it!

1. PCs available at the same time as a console is released will always be more powerful than a console and can be upgraded as well.

2. To emulate hardware you need about 5-10 times the power of the original system.

3. Out of the last generation of consoles the xbox is the only console that that hasn't been emulated to play most of its games (only a few work so far). The PSX had a working emulator a while ago and the PS2 has over 50% of its games working already.  http://pcsx2.Net/com...s3=1&s4=1&s5=1 

The gamecube and even the current nintendo wii has been emulated already so it is possible if there are people who want to develop the emulator and PCs with hardware powerful enough to run it.

ugh not to be a necro here.

 ePSXe has been 99.9 pct flawless for years now, and pcsx2 runs a lot of games full speed for me been enjoying many rpgs I missed out on.

 also note that I have an amd x2 5000+ @ 3ghz and a 1 gig 4850... Hardly a good setup these days, intel cpus are much better for pcsx2, but even with SSE2 graphics plugins I am getting full speed...

 so those hating on previous generation consoles being emulated not well obviously have no clue how to set them up, either that or you have some integrated P.O.S graphics card and think your pc is good - but its not.

 also CPU is much more important then GPU atm, but just think an old x2 5000+ running 60fps in PCSX2... I mean what year did you guys build your pcs???
