The PlayStation 3 (known shorthand as PS3) is a console by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., released in 2006/2007. This console is notorious for being difficult to work with, due to the newly-introduced Cell Broadband Engine achitecture that no game developer outside of Sony has worked with prior to launch.

Emulators
Due to the complexity of the Cell processor achitecture, plus the fact that it would take a LOT of resources to get such games emulated (as an example, see specifications in Dolphin and PCSX2 for their respective consoles), there is no usable emulator for PS3. There are, however, some that are usable only for small homebrew currently:
| Name | Operating System(s) | Latest Version | Active | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RPCS3 | Windows, Linux | SVN | ✓ | ✗ |
| Short Waves | Windows | 0.0.1 (readme) | ? | ✗ |
Check back in 10 years or so for actual games that work on them.
