ps3 emulator

Aleksander · Jul 6, 2012, 01:33 PM

Hi!
Is there any ps3 out? I have seen some sites who say about the emulator, but is that really
true? Or just a scam?

1Kurgan1 · Jul 6, 2012, 01:37 PM

Not out there, won't be for a longtime with what the PS3 uses for a processor.

It's currently able to run small PS3 homebrew.

Wait 10-15 years.

If emulated ps2 games lag I can imagine what happens with ps3 lol

Chryonn · Jul 6, 2012, 04:35 PM

remember what emulators do: they're software which mimics entire hardware systems, don't be surprised if there isn't anything like a PS3 or 360 emu out there some time soon.

Here's a very interesting article on emulation.

You shouldn't be lagging with a ps2 emulator.

My phone can emulate a ps2 like it's nothing

Your phone? I find that hard to believe. My old c2d laptop couldn't run FFxii very well. Lots of skipping. Maybe it is running super low res, though, instead of standard res which is already super low.

No your phone can't. If you're talking about ported PS2 games, it's not the same as emulating a foreign hardware (from your phone POV).

No I'm talking about emulation not ported games.

As in I load roms and play games.

I also play n64 games : ] ( albeit with some reduced settings as 20 fps isn't fun)

I did, but all the games I play play as they should so it counts as no problem for me

Aleksander · Jul 6, 2012, 06:31 PM

My friend has a samsung galaxy II and i played there PS1 and Snes games like goal 3 :P
The games run perfect.
Never heard about PS2

hat · Jul 6, 2012, 06:36 PM

I looked into this myself a while ago. Generally, we can't perfectly replicate the way <insert console you want to emulate here> does things, because of licensing issues and because, for example, the PS2 uses all custom hardware and it's tough to figure out. My 4GHz Phenom II sometimes lags with epsxe, which is emulating a console that had a 33.8MHz processor. Because of the roundabout way we have to do things with emulators, a good rule of thumb is that the emulator would require 10x the cpu power as the console being emulated.

Aleksander · Jul 6, 2012, 06:52 PM

I was searching for something else and came to a link which had nothing to do with what i was searching. Guess what? PC emulator... LOL

It is a thesis and it is very very long and detailed

Would GPGPU help with emulation?

I'd imagine it be super helpful for that chip emulation that was discussed earlier.

PS2 emulation is inherently more complex than prety much any console out there because of EE engine and very tight sync issues.

Or you can just link me to a working ARM PS2 emulator and I'll concede (youtube link is invalid).

Kreij · Jul 6, 2012, 08:08 PM

The discussion of emulators is fine, but be careful what you link to, gents. If an emulator runs afoul of the EULA of the games it could cause you issues with TPU policies.

Just a heads-up from yer Ol' Uncle Kreij.

Aleksander · Jul 6, 2012, 08:41 PM

@panth
How did you think about that? Really clever

@Ol' Uncle Kreij
Yes sir!

Hoping to hear if gpgpu are more powerful on emulating

Well if a GPU can simulate millions of particles interacting in real time it doesn't seem that far fetched that it could simulate something as simple as millions of on and off switches.

Well that's my logic for it anyway
