The Playstation 3 console

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. RPCS3 has recently reached the major milestone of having a commercial game (a Panel de Pon clone) considered "fully playable", albeit at 10 FPS with no sound.

Name Operating System(s) Latest Version Active Recommended
RPCS3 Windows, Linux SVN
Short Waves Windows 0.0.2 ?

Check back in 10 years or so for actual games that work on them, which will also be about the time the PS3 is abandoned by Sony.
