==PlayStation 3's Blu-ray Player==

:[https://rpcs3.net/quickstart#dumping_methods PlayStation 3 Blu-ray compatible PC Blu-ray Drives]

For a long time, the PS3's Blu-ray player was a versatile and powerful feature and considered the best of all time, and many people still use it for this purpose today. Featuring a slot-loading [[wikipedia:Blu-ray_Disc_recordable#Speed|2 × speed]] ([https://hexus.net/gaming/news/ps3/7715-developer-duplicates-data-due-slow-ps3-load-times/ 9 MB/second]) Blu-ray Disc drive for BD-ROM, PlayStation 2 format DVD-ROM, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 format CD-ROM, BD-Video, DVD-Video and Audio CDs. Keep in mind that, [[wikipedia:PlayStation_3_models#Original_model|original models]] also supports SACD but this functionality was removed with [[wikipedia:PlayStation_3_models#Slim_model|Slim]] and [[wikipedia:PlayStation_3_models#Super_Slim_model|Superslim models]]. There is no support for VCDs or SVCDs [[PlayStation_2_emulators#DVD_player|just like prior generation]]. DVDi, DVDPG, BDPG and Blu-ray Interactive HD like [[Home_media_players#Interactive_media|interactive film/movie]] formats are supported.

Crucial to remember that disc images are only suitable for disc-based titles. '''PSN digital titles (PKG)''' are '''not compatible''' with disc image mounting, because they try to write data to read-only virtual directories → this will cause errors (see explanation [https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/4021#issuecomment-1904000715 here]).

:For PSN digital titles, you should:

* Launch them '''directly from their extracted folder''' using [[RPCS3]], or

* Use '''.VHDX virtual dis'''k''' images''' instead.
