The '''PlayStation 3''' (known shorthand as '''PS3''') is a seventh-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Sony|Sony]] in late 2006 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|599|2006}}. The successor to the [[PlayStation 2 emulators|PlayStation 2]], it began development in 2001 when Sony partnered with Toshiba and IBM to create the [[wikipedia:Cell_%28microprocessor%29|Cell Broadband Engine]]. The console was launched a year after the [[Xbox 360 emulators|Xbox 360]] and around the same time as the [[Wii emulators|Wii]]. While it was debatably the most powerful console of the seventh generation, it was also difficult to program for, as its architecture was even more complex than its competitors.

The Cell Broadband Engine consists of a 3.2 GHz Power Processing Element (PPE) and seven Synergistic Processing Elements (SPE),<ref group=N2>You might see listings of eight SPEs, but that's because there are eight on the die; one of them is disabled to prevent the manufacturer from yielding too many bad units. Another SPE is reserved for the console's operating system.</ref> and the system contains 256 MBs of XDR DRAM main memory at 3.2 GHz and 256 MBs of GDDR3 video memory at 650 MHz for the Nvidia/SCEI RSX Reality Synthesizer GPU. The GPU ran at 500 MHz and has to communicate forth and back with both RAMs. The complexity of the SPEs bogged down the PlayStation 3 in multi-platform titles, as developers had to go through the process of learning the SPE architecture before they could use it. As a result, several developers decided against using the SPEs, and the consequence is that many multi-platform games ran with lower framerates or worse graphics compared to running those same games on the PS3's competitors.

The number of units sold worldwide was about the same as the Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 initially included a feature called [[#OtherOS|OtherOS]], but once it was removed shortly after the PS3 Slim model was released citing "security concerns", fail0verflow had a jailbreak detailed in 2010, giving way for [[PS3 Modding|modders to downgrade firmware on a specific version]] and install a custom firmware, something Sony would patch in newer updates until an exploit was released for 4.82. Emulation only started gaining traction in the late 2010s, as [[RPCS3]] had made strides in improving its largely HLE-based emulation. It has since become the emulator of choice.

;[[RPCS3]]:RPCS3 is an open-source [[High/Low_level_emulation|hybrid approach]] emulator for 64-bit Windows, GNU/Linux, BSD and macOS and it stands as a remarkable feat in PlayStation 3 emulation, successfully tackling the intricate [[#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 3's complex architecture]] through innovative techniques. While it isn't anywhere near as compatible as [[Dolphin]] is for [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]] or Wii, it has still made immense progress compared to its early days, when development was slow and seemed like it wasn't really going anywhere. Some of the SPU intensive titles have insufficient performance which requires top-notch [https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html single thread performance of CPUs] (see '''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rpq_2D4Rf3g6O-x2R1fwTSKWvJH7X63kExsVxHnT2Mc/edit#gid=0 RPCS3 CPU benchmark chart]'''). As of now, all known titles now load, and initialize properly, without crashing the emulator. Beyond this, [[RPCS3]] supports some [[#Enhancements|enhancements]] and [[#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|system features, peripherals]]. As of April 13, 2022, builds for macOS have started being officially distributed for Intel and ARM Macs.<!-- RPCS3 runs on Rosetta for Macs with M-series processors, while Intel Macs run the application natively. --><ref>https://twitter.com/rpcs3/status/1514302544750780417?s=20&t=e1g7-9NzgIehtodHmXYytQ</ref> For checking if your games work and any fixes, tweaks, or settings, check these sources;

During the development stage for the PlayStation 3, Sony expressed their intent to build upon the [[PlayStation_2_emulators#Network_Adapter|functionality of its predecessor]] by creating a new interconnected service that keeps users constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network. In March 2006, Sony officially introduced its unified online service, tentatively named "PlayStation Network Platform". A list of supporting features was announced at the Tokyo Game Show later the same year.<ref>[[Wiki:PlayStation_Network#History|Wikipedia: PlayStation Network #History]]</ref>
 +
 +
Netplay in RPCS3 was introduced by GalCiv, who developed [https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Netplay RPCN] (an open-source server that emulates the P2P match-making done on the PlayStation 3). RPCN can also be used to communicate with [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wn2EkQj_bZpgrT-xiDbqHkx91jcCHn34nXkl2Sv0GOs/edit#gid=0 private servers] for games that require a dedicated server for multiplayer features. In this regard, games that require a custom server will not work unless a fan-made, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wn2EkQj_bZpgrT-xiDbqHkx91jcCHn34nXkl2Sv0GOs/edit#gid=0 private server] is created. This is outside the scope of the emulator and will have to be developed by the community.
 +
:Beyond this there is a project called [https://github.com/DestinationHome/Destination-Home-Online Destination Home]; a preservation team dedicated to restoring [[Wikipedia:PlayStation_Home|PlayStation Home]]'s original online functionality and network services, but progress is heavily reliant on the development of [https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Netplay RPCN]; as key networking functionality is yet to be implemented.

OtherOS is a feature of early versions of the PlayStation 3 video game console, allowing user installed software, such as many [[:Category:Operating_systems|distributions of Linux or BSD]] in a separate partition as long as they supported PowerPC. The feature was removed since system firmware update 3.21, released on April 1, 2010. Software running in the OtherOS environment has access to 6 of the 7 SPEs. Sony implemented a [[hypervisor]] restricting access to the RSX. However either through a security vulnerability before FW 2.10 or by using some form of OtherOS++ CFW full access to the RSX, and/or the seventh SPE and other system resources is possible. See [[Recommended linux distros#Multiplatform-focused]] or [https://t2sde.org/hardware/console/Sony/PS3/ T2 SDE PS3 page] for more information.

PlayStation consoles have always been notorious for system complexity (e.g. [[PlayStation_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation]], [[PlayStation_2_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 2]]). Sony's gamble of their technology being emulator-unfriendly makes them developer-unfriendly as well, and the system's weaker performance in cross-platform games proves it. Even if done properly, [[High/Low_level_emulation|an LLE approach]] would be performance suicide, as some things just have to be abstracted enough to get high framerates in games. The situation is so bad that Sony seems to be incredibly hesitant to produce an [[Official_emulators|official PS3 emulator]] for the newer PlayStations. Simply because they wouldn't be able to justify the extremely high potential development cost to investors.<ref>[https://youtu.be/6WkpaJkB2M8 Why PS4 Doesn't Have Backwards Compatibility and Xbox One Does] (Mystic.

The RPCS3 developers using ahead-of-time recompilation using LLVM. RPCS3 is not just compiling the code it runs, it's also needs to compile a realtime environment simulator e.g. the 128x128bit register file, LS sram, the very weird memory flow controller, etc [https://discord.com/channels/272035812277878785/272083901277667342/1200171144603512892]. SPEs closer to [[PlayStation_2_emulators#Emulation_issues|VUs from PS2]] than to a GPU. They're a SIMD cluster, don't be fooled by their apparent similarity to GPUs. GPU are low throughput but very wide. SPEs are also wide, but not so much so. However, their individual thread throughput is insane even compared to a something like RTX 4090 GPU. It's not possible to beat SPUs 1:1 (it's ALL vector, it doesn't have scalar registers at least not general-purpose ones), they have 128 registers and very low latency SRAM, almost no memory fetches and everything is async. Although AVX-512 comes close in performance (at 5+ GHz). GPUs on the other hand are around 10-100x slower, but that's just because of how their cores are designed and the fact that SPU kernels are optimized to run in much smaller groups. There's too much working against emulation at 3.2 GHz rate since most SPU instructions need many instructions on PC (like dozens in some cases), so the PC side needs to be an order of magnitude faster.[https://discord.com/channels/272035812277878785/272083901277667342/1197648306084524202]
