All the Namco 357/359 games now emulate and are fully playable. And for those not familiar the PS3 was used in arcade boards for a bunch of games like Razing Storm, Tekken 6, Dark Escape 4D, Sailor Zombie AKB48 and many others...lots of which were either arcade exclusive or had better performance then their home arcade counterparts.

Razing Storm being the big one that kind of finalized the emulation as the IO board on that proved to be a "final boss" status item to get running in RPCS3. Sure RPCS3 in general still has room to grow even if its amazing so far but that's a pretty monumental milestone it just hit

And here I am, waiting to play my PS3 collection in my PS5

Good luck waiting for sony to respect their long term customers.

 

[squidilix]

I see some people have launched some Namco 357/359 games on real PS3. So I more interested on this way.

And I hope PCSX2 can on day also launch some Namco 246/256 games

PS5 CPU not efficient enough to handle PS3 emulation according to DF. Maybe PS6 gen?

 

[NeverYouMind]

I just played Tekken 6 (BR) yesterday. Still feels surreal that I can play it on a modern Xbox console. Hopefully more people will get to appreciate it in its full glory with these improvements to emulation. PSP version just does not do it justice and unfortunately that is the only version available on PS4/5.

For real? I still have an unlocked PS3 but I never knew this was possible.

I was playing many PS3 games in close to 60fps on 2600k years ago, when I switched to 3600 I got a big boost:







And this was unoptimzed old ass emulator version. PS5 CPU (that is more on less on par with 3600) should run vast majority of PS3 games, most of them in 2x the framerate. Sony just doesn't care...

Doesn't seem fake to me.

Doing the lord's work. I wonder how Skate 3 is running these days. Last time I tried it, it was all fucked up.

 

[GudOlRub]

I used to follow RPCS3 daily because of Red Dead Redemption. Then Xenia got good and I beat the game on that, MGS4 is supposedly coming out on modern platforms SoonTM so now I'm not really that interested in PS3 emulation anymore unfortunately.
Perhaps I'll use it to play COD3 and Midnight Club LA one day but those are not really games I feel like I must play.

Happy these guys are working so hard on PS3 emulation though.

I think they hate our long term guts, but maybe that is just the impression that I get from them.

 

[Quasicat]

PS3 emulation is getting really good. I finished Sly Cooper Remastered on the Steam Deck using it and it ran perfectly! Granted some of the harder to emulate games don't work, but I'll take what I can get at this point.

 

[vodka-bull]

They don't want to give us a reason to sub to PS Plus premium apparently. If their PS3 catalogue were four times as big (which should be easily doable for Sony) I'd definitely resub to premium, but as things are currently I'll stick to Extra.

Ps3 emulation is possible on handheld these days.

 

[Danny22]

How is Ps3 emulation still going on? It's been almost 2 decades. Wasn't PCsx2 able to play pretty much everything by like 2010-2015?
Hell, I'm using a PS4 emulator and its running so well.

[VGEsoterica]

Game is a vibe

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

That reminds me, one of these days I'll have to get a PS3 emulation to replay Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction, Future Quest for Booty, A Crack in Time, and Into the Nexus.

 

[Gitaroo]

I still can't get Soul Calibur 5 to disable the MLAA and let me use resolution scaling

 

[amigastar]

Doing the lord's work. I wonder how Skate 3 is running these days. Last time I tried it, it was all fucked up.

Skate 1 runs the best, Skate 2 runs shitty honestly not sure about 3 but i think its better than 2 or maybe as bad.

 

[ShirAhava]

PS3 emulation has been a real blessing when my second PS3 died for good I didn't even bother replacing it. Love that it supports PS Move also

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Doing the lord's work. I wonder how Skate 3 is running these days. Last time I tried it, it was all fucked up.

It works great and the community even restored EA's Online Servers. So if you don't like the new Skate. You can play Skate 3 online again through RPCS3.

 

[crackajack]

Sony just doesn't care...

I would assume that Sony has an interest to get rid of the original PS3 platform if just for their own streaming services.

Most of the relevant games saw already a port, but I guess being able to handle your own platform in its entirety might become interesting the further away we are from the PS3 years and individual games losing customer interest more and more, so port of a port of port might not be rentable at all, so offering the PS3 era, emulated, as a whole might be something a sub service just needs to have.

 

[Aressa]

Everything that is worth it was already ported to PC.

I prefer the first one, tho.

Don't do that, don't just post amazing gifs without mentioning the game.

 

[Radical_3d]

Don't do that, don't just post amazing gifs without mentioning the game.

It's MotorStorm: Apocalypse!! Third and last installment of the saga. And now I hate how old I am.

I prefer the pure experience of the first one, even wit its shortcomings. Also best soundtrack of the bunch. We got robbed of a PS4/PS5 graphics MS, by the way, but Dirt 5 can be a lot like it, specially in the mud circuits in the cockpit view.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

I think PS3 games will come to PS6

Obviously they'll be monetised as per PS1/PS2 games on PS5.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Doesn't seem fake to me.

Higher resolution and no load times to boot.

Unlike the retail version.

 

[Ellis]

Are all the God of War OG games playable?

GoW 3 on my 5700X floats around 40-45 FPS during less intensive areas. Can easily drop to around 30.

The PS2 and PSP collections run absolutely perfect. I modded mine to replace the cropped fmvs with those from the PS2 original.

Other games where a chip like the 5700 can't do great are Killzone 2, Uncharted 2/3, Last of Us, Motorstorm 1/2/3 (if wanting 60fps), and Infamous.

Lighter games which didn't make much use of the 8 SPUs on the CELL run great, for the most part.

Stuff like Tekken is a breeze to run.

 

[Lokaum D+]

yes

It is likely efficient enough, though Zen 4 and Zen 5 CPUs have AVX-512 support which RPCS3 likes.

Regardless, I don't think Sony will care enough to bring PS3 emulation to the PS6.

Did you go into manage patches and select disable MLAA for the correct version of the game?

 

[Gitaroo]

Did you go into manage patches and select disable MLAA for the correct version of the game?

Yes, I had a filter that only shows patch for available games unless the emu picked up the wrong version

 

[Ellis]

You have to look under the general patches. Near the top of the list. You see the games it will take effect on to the right in the description box.

 

[p_xavier]

Like PSTV where games were playable with no issues and Sony blacklisted half of the Vita library... Was ridiculous.

 

[Drew1440]

Sony has already ported/remastered most of their desired PS3 exclusives over to the PS4/5 platform. There is little chance of then embracing PS3 emulation for the remaining titles (Killzone/Resistance/Sly/Ratchet). It sucks, but at least we have RPSC3.

For real? I still have an unlocked PS3 but I never knew this was possible.

Didn't those arcade boards require security dongles to run? I believe they aren't that much different from retail units with the exception of their software. Some of the original System 357 boards even contain the PS2's EE&GS, despite there being little to no chance of it being used.

 

[Gitaroo]

I tried that and also a separate patch that only applies to scv, no luck with both

You got to select the version though. Is it running slow or sluggish what's your cpu?
