I created it myself and also its own bios. </p> -reply by Alex C. Yeah right ... show us the goods ! Decent PS3 emulation can't be done on a regular CPU as it lacks the power. The CELL processor is capable of processing 256GFLOPS at single precision whereas the Core i7 can only do 22GFLOPS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 PS3 emulatorPlaystation 3 Emulator?No,There is no PS3 emulator, but there is a better way to play Console games on pc. I know one man from russia that converts games to pc. He did that twice for me. The first game was assasins creed, It wasn't yet out for the pc and the other Dragonball Z burst limit. I made a torrent of them, when he notice that he never talked to me again. There was some errors ingame, but the graphics was perfect. -reply by masjafka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 playstation 3, games Playstation 3 Emulator?Playstation 3 games better than pc ??, hmmm, I have seen exactly the same quality in games on pc, further more, you can install a lot more power full nvidia graphics card on pc, compare to the "old" playstation 3 graphics card, it is really obsolete.Intel / amd multicore processor will soon arive, and be serious match for the cell processor.Just wait for intel larrybee, then you will see film quality gameing for the pc, far better than playstation 3.

(G)microfetis Mar 7 2009, 05:12 AM 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 soWe can get another console so buy them now and torrent them later -reply by microfetis Comment/Reply (w/o sign-up) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Awesome plan, dude!-reply by Tectyl12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmo12 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Emulating a PS3?like that's gonna happen, you would need at least a double I7 extreme and Triple SLI connected GTX480and if you have that then you just need to have the PS3 source codeSooo... not gonna happenJim out P.S. For the money that a PC like that would cost, you can just buy a PS3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So thank you very much! </p> -question by Jordan Greenberg He does not have a working PS3 emulator : he asks if we have one.Some of the answers concern the way an emulator should be done, but nobody did the job yet. In my own opinion, I agree with CrashnAZ : instead of aking Windows or Linux to run a program that runs the PS3 game, it would be smarter to make the PS3 game directly run on the PC, which means being able to boot the PC on an OS which can handle the game programs. So, you PC would act exactly as the Playstation 3 console : boot on the DVD and load the game on the DVD. This job is not so easy, probably, because the processors are not the same, the graphic adapters are not the same, so the drivers have to be written and distorted in order to make the handling correctly the movement instructions from the game program in order to obtain the wanted movements on the display. However, this would probably be a lot of work. And (I would say unfortunately) the history is not moving that way. Some tens of years ago, I booted my PC off the game disk (floppy disk first, then CD-ROM) which had the OS and the drivers embedded. Today, the Operating system is already running when I insert the game media, and the antivirus scans the game binary programs before letting me run them, so a lot of overhead needing far more cpu than necessary for running the game. But this is another story, and maybe a philosophical question : does the computer environment evolution go towards the smartest way for future use by home users? These were my own two cents.

The Simpleton1405241582 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Was there a successful emulator built for even the PS2? I remember having a good emulator for PS1 and could play games like Tekken 3 comfortably (although with minor issues). I read somewhere that emulators for the PS2 and PS3 are hard to come by and development in this field is going on slowly? Even if it did work, would it be fun playing in front of the PC monitor than in front of the TV?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ennett 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 There hasn't been a succesful ps2 emulator due to the difficulty in emulating the chips. In order to emulate all of the ps2 chips it would require a massive amount of CPU runtime, and most systems just aren't capable of doing this. There was a similar problem emulating the chips for the xbox as well, a couple exist but they can only support the most basic of games. There is one that supports halo however only halo and nothing else.I don't really see the need to emulate the ps2 or the xbox though as both are now dirt cheap thanks to their successors storming the market. Also installing a chip in them is also very simple and you can find details online as to how to do it.Considering the difficulty in emulating the chips from the ps2, it is HIGHLY doubtful that a working ps3 emulator will be around for years. Maybe when industry standards for PC performance are tripled then we'll start seeing something that works, but until then you will just have to wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Simpleton1405241582 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Hmm looks like I guessed right about the PS2/3 emulator - it's not going to happen perfectly any soon! There was a similar problem emulating the chips for the xbox as well, a couple exist but they can only support the most basic of gamesI remember reading somewhere that there is a good xbox emulator available for Windows and it runs because they share similar architecture? I'm not sure whether I got that right but it was something like that, and that article said the possibility of successfully emulating xbox and xbox360 games on windows was more than that of the PS series. I wonder how far that is true... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ennett 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 It's true the xbox was built on x86 technology and so it is possible to build an emulator based on that, but again like i said, there are only a couple that actually work.The one which runs halo only (and very well which is surprising) is name XeonThe other is named Cxbx, here is a list of the games that it can play:Turok EvolutionSmashing DriveFuturamaRobotech: BattlecryThere are some more which have limited functionality, like you can play some games, or it plays the games intro and nothing else, or even just display the games menu, but still above are the only games you can play to full enjoyment, and they do not have full 3D support rendering.The reason for the lack of xbox emulation is down to the fact microsoft made the xbox hardware extremely complex and the hardware is incredibly poorly documented. This makes writing emulation technology for it incredibly hard. There are multitudes of people working hard to allow new games to become more and more compatible with current emulators, but it's very slow work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was precisely this - the graphics rendering wasn't impressive and there wasn't any background music, etc. The only true emulator that emulates everything is available only for Gameboy but there everything is limited so one can't enjoy the game(s) fully.

Well in this case I guess one can't blame them for protecting their hardware so carefully. Emulators aren't really supposed to be available, are they? Even if the gamers have bought original discs, using emulators instead of consoles isn't right. (blah blah blah people do it anyway!) Anyway, it would be better if the programmers working on emulators spent their time on some other useful project. They could come up with a fully functional emulator for the PS3, but who knows, by then we could be playing on the PS4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 Even if the gamers have bought original discs, using emulators instead of consoles isn't right.Not sure. I would be curious to read what is precisely stated by the text on the Guitar Hero box. Is it written "for WII", or "should not be played on any device different from the one stated above"?Maybe it's right to put my original disc in the washing machine and see if I can play Tekken3 with the front buttons?

In the end it's the owner's choice what to do with the disc. Play it, eat it, bite it or smash it. All the company cares is that they got paid for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
