Playstation 3 Emulator?

I was just wondering. I know you would have to have double of what a ps3 comes with to even run it. but i dont think they can make one myself.

I've tried my hands on a couple of PS2 emulators. The compatibility is very poor when it comes to playing demanding games. And if it does run, the chances of getting even a decent amount of FPS is low, unless you have the latest graphics card installed.

You can imagine the plight of a PS3 emulator, if they still haven't been able to match the performance of a PS2 with the high clock speeds of a modern PC. The fact of the matter is that, while the Play Stations and other consoles are specifically optimized for gaming, the PC is not. Despite the advancements in Direct X, the games in PC are never going to match those of the consoles.

Uhm, every single generation consoles get overpowered by computers before the next gen of consoles come out. That said they wont have emulators out before the PS4 haha. It's just a matter of complexity. Emulating the cell architecture on a traditional pc would be murder. This is why now psx emulators are doable, but ps2 work pretty shitily haha. They still haven't finished working on ps2 emulation and the cell is exponentially more difficult and more complex. Let alone, as mentioned that the hardware required to run such an emulator would be off the charts for the time being.

Until we can unlock the power of the GPU, no. It's already hard to emulate many different types of consoles in the 6th and 7th generation consoles already. Try waiting 3-4 years, I think we can pull it off by then.

It's nice to see and be in the emulation community, just seeing what they can do.

I have always wanted to program a basic one myself (something along the lines of SMS or GameGear), but learning how to do it, is by no means a simple task, let alone emulating something like a PS2 and even further the PS3.

Though we can certainly get some killer looking games on PC, they are made for PC and aren't trying to emulate some other piece of hardware, so you can see the performance really takes a hit.

Having a PS3 emulater is going to be a challenge for any person right now. Its just too much effort that is going to be needed to crack and dicipher the encryption of how the ps3 runs its games. The PSX emulator that is out there is still having problems but works quite just like the system itself but it took probably 4 or 5 years before that could probably have the main kinks out and it still a little buggy on certain games without the right bios. PS2 emulators are not even out with working games that can handle or read the encoding on discs too well. But I believe there are some already out there that are able to read the ps2 discs but many bugs arises from it. Game system emulators are a very cool software that I find very intersting but if more hackers were to work on the project the game developers would and possible go out of business and we would not have the entertainment of games that are provided for us today. Although I enjoy the emulation the games I also enjoy that everyone should go out and buy the games before playing the emulated version. Supporting games developers is key if you want them to keep making the games that you enjoy so much. We dont want the industry turning out like the music industry where music sales are falling dramatically due to heavy downloads...

we cant even emulate ps2 really, so it will be a long time before a ps3 or 360 emulator comes out.

P.S. If we buy the games now, will be giving the companies money so we can get another console so buy them now and torrent them later

GO FOR IT
Playstation 3 Emulator?

Well if you are going to think about it you should try to make a ps2 emulator first without us trying to get the graphics set up and everything else like that I beleive that the ps3 emulator will finaly be produced when the ps4 comes out when the computers of the modern day can incrypt the the disk and play them I beleive things like working wii emulators work like the ps2 ones is you need the disk but the graphics would be like the ps1 because not many people I know have a graphics card installed and the lag from slow running computers would ruin it but hey if you think you can do it its a challenge but you can be inovative :D -reply by Derek

Nowadays we can program on the GPU which is a great advantage because it allows us to do the same kind of multitasking like on a cell cpu, but programming a GPU is incredibly hard and I think we'll first see older emulators being ported to the GPU before they start with the real deal.

PS3 Emulation is very doable it just requires the right people to do it and unfortuantly dumb people that cant even emulate PS2 are talking about how impossible it is and we have to wait for the future

P.S.  I have a full PS2 Emulators with my own bios and plugins and my computer has a very sucky graphics card but I worked around that and the emulator is even better than my PS2 itself
