RPCS3 is a PlayStation 3 (PS3) emulator that is in very early development. Currently usable only for light homebrew and a very small number of commercial games, with heavy glitches. It aims to one day eventually emulate the PS3 fully.

Overview
Development of RPCS3 is early, but promising. It can play the intros to some games with the sound[1]. It can play some of Disgaea 3, but with heavily glitched graphics, and the sprites do not show.[2]
Even on a relatively modern machine, it gets very low framerate. In Disgaea 3's menus it averages less than 3 frames per section[2]. Modern hardware is too slow to run a PS3 emulator. It also has yet to implement a dynarec (Dynamic recompilation), instead relying entirely on an interpreter, which means that it runs much slower than what is possible in the future.
It will be a long time before it can play complex PS3 games that use the power of the cell for some time.
