Cell CPU was an interesting beast. To understand its origin, you need to understand PS2 and its VPU1.
Good, hopefully the percentage keeps growing
How well do they run though?
Emulation has become crucial in the effort of video game preservation. Hopefully they can push it to 100%
A nice bonus with PS3 games in particular is how many of them have much higher resolution assets on the discs than people ever saw when playing on the console itself, allowing games to look a lot better than they originally did when played on an emulator.
Metal Gear Solid 4
wow old new re reported for fomo sony hate atm. from a minorty of fans.
Copyright law should be updated such that if something is no longer able to be legally purchased for like 5 years, it becomes public domain.
Watching piracy shoot up in popularity like it was 2000 is pretty crazy. Shows that Sony had no clue what the fallback would be. Its not just ps3 either, Ps5 emulation is just started to take off and people are getting games like astro bot to work. It’s jusst all fuel for the fire at this point,
I am shocked to learn the PS3 store was still functional.
I had a bunch of PSN exclusive games on PS3. Was surprised I didn’t have access to them on my PS4.
Is there a list of exclusive PSN games that aren’t available anymore?
guess sony really didnt see this coming
finally someone preserving the good stuff before it vanishes
Can RPCS3 on Steam Deck handle MGS4? That’s all I care about
If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.
In an age where reboots and remakes are king. I’m still surprised that the PS3 era is still mostly lost.
Like yeah, you can run a mod emulator but need a PC and the technical know how. I’m sure someone is going to point out it’s not that hard to do but anything harder than plug and play is going to alienate the majority of the people.
Modern tech is fast enough that if could run PS3 games with its pocket change. They found solutions for the architecture differences. Sony easily could have launched the PS5 for the half baked emulator and people would have forgiven the bugs. Instead, they locked it behind their stupid streaming service that most people don’t have the bandwidth to run.
if purchase is not ownership piracy is not theft
But can it run Azura’s Wrath perfectly??
That’s one way to get people into digital only media.
Sony: The peasants have found a way to have fun! Stop them!💸💸💸💸💸
Using rpsc3 made me appreciate ps3 games so much, I mean they were great on the ps3, but having them in better resolution with higher fps and smoother gameplay, makes them pretty impressive to this day
Nice, right as I’m building an emulation node onto my homelab.
What a time to be alive
Uplifting news with Sony in the headline?? Wild
I still remember one of the VERY early releases of this emu and comments were making fun of the devs for trying to emulate the PS3. People truly do not know how long it takes to emulate, especially from different CPU architectures. 75% of games is an amazing accomplishment.
This means I could finally play Dead Space 2 again!
Something buying something owning something piracy something theft
