When a little tablet can emulate the PS3 but the new Playstation can't.

[strohhuttv]

Yeah the PS3 one of the weirdest systems I owned, was also my last console I bought before I came to the PC. Seeing it run so well on a handheld makes me realize how fast technology is improving.

I tried out Silent Hill Downpour and Lolipop Chainsaw on the Steam Deck and those run pretty good for me.

PS3 was the last home system that Sony created that I actually care about. It started off rough with its price and hardware to program for but had a lot of gems.

for those that choose to use RPCS3 for Persona 5, know that there is no "Royale" version on PS3. There was a community working on back--porting content from Royale onto the base version of Persona 5 for PS3, but idk if they're still going to do it since the game is releasing on PC and all consoles. Might be worth looking into.

TLoU and Uncharted are difficult games to emulate even on a high-end PC. I think it's more about the emulation just not "being there". That said, there are many community patches and workarounds that might improve the experience quite drastically... Then again - the PC versions of both of those are supposed to land soon-ish, so it might be worth it just to wait.

The Fact that the steam deck can run PS3 Games (Some Not well but they boot) is really incredible

Been on a Yakuza kick and have played through every RGG western title and spinoff now including Fist of The North Star, Ishin, Judgement, and even Binary Domain. But, I still have my eye on Yakuza Dead Souls (laugh all you want lol), Kenzan, and others. Went looking for how to emulate PS3 on deck and glad to see my man was way ahead of me. Appreciate this one.

I was really really close to pulling the trigger on a PS5 Horizon Bundle. I live in California, so the price is $550 for the bundle. I was mostly getting it to have for the new GOWR. But more and more I have been realizing, it doesn't really matter to me if I play God Of War Rag day one or not. Their are about to be a nice pack of games coming out around that same time.
So more n more I have been getting excited about the idea of getting a Cleveland Steamer Deck!
I didn't think this would be possible at all, even if it is on a very limited game library. Steam Decks seem seriously almost too good to be true haha!!

Thank you for your tutorials. I don't have a SD or do emulation stuff but it's definitely interesting to watch how the emulators evolve even from a standpoint of pure curiosity

[DreamerSouls]

The one major difference that I noticed between downloading directly and using flat packs is that none of the emulators through emu deck with an exception of cemu Xemu and ryujinx, have the toolbar at the top of the window [File-Emulation-tools-help ect] and that makes doing things like launching the Wii menu on dolphin, or doing literally anything on melon DS impossible

Fighting games using RPCS3 works great on Steam Deck. I have Tekken 6, TTT2, Street Fighter x Tekken, King of fighters 13, Virtual fighter 5, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate and Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 3. It's Amazing what Steam Deck can handle for an handhold.

I followed everything but anytime I download a ROM it is extracted into an ISO and I cant figure out how to get it to run the ISO as when I try to load the game or ass it it says there is no content, been looking for a video to help with no success. Anyone have any tips?

[whoismikejonez]

ps3 was the last home console to support non hd resolutions. why do i not see more of these emulators take advantage of that. surely it would be easier to emulate at 480p or even 480i than 720. and yes while not optimal. would probably be more than playable with most games.

[birdmanbirdlegs]

I was playing rainbow six vegas 2 on rcps3 last night which is not traditionally an easy game to run. I lowered the resolution to 960 x 540 and then uppped the sharpening. It still looked great and it ran really solid

[alexscotwilson]

I updated my rpsc3 today and I can no longer play mk vs dc. I get sudo memory and verification failed error logs. have you notice anything like this?

[hellbornKrieg]

demon s souls was exactly what i was looking for. one of my favoritve games, and being on the move a lot more i cant use my consoles as much. amazing video

MGS4 Time (I will use a custom build called MGS4Deck)

[WoodAvenger]

What about playing roms in iso format ? Can you load iso files directly or do you need to mount the iso an then extract its content into à New folder ?

[bryanswaggbeast]

Im getting this error.
Booting Saw (USA) (en, fr, es)/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN ‘ Failed
