Is there a PS3 emulator?

[mithcol]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a PS3 emulator that I can play some of the old dragonball z fighting games on.

If there is where can I learn how to get started with downloading and installing an emulator?

Thanks
Mithcol

the few emulators that exist do not show any progress in the way of playing games. If we knew of one it would be mentioned on our download page.

thank you, how about ps2?

We list 3 to choose from, the one with the most starts preforms the best.

I think you'll have to wait for quite a bit to be able to emulate PS3 games (Not talking about some homebrew stuff). I think the general consensus was you need a machine about 10 times as powerful to emulate a system?

It really has little to do with the speed, its trying to work out all the proprietary architectures no one has done before. Its very possible we will figure that out someday, and when that day comes speed will not be an issue.

rcps3 has shown quite a bit of improvement over this last month and is able to get in game with some of the less 2D demanding ps3 games but from a emulator point of view it's a very noticeable improvement even if they only ran with a PPU interpreter they improved it on being successfully running them with PPU recompiler and gained significant amount of fps, it's still far from being complete and even if it seems to be a small step this is a very good one !
