Changes

The '''PlayStation 3''' (known shorthand as PS3) is a console by [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony |Sony]] released in 2006. This console was considered hard to program for early in its lifecycle due to the newly-introduced [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_%28microprocessor%29 |Cell Broadband Engine]] architecture that no game developer outside of Sony had worked with prior to launch. Because of this, many multiplatform games ran worse or had worse graphics on the PS3, despite it being the more powerful system.

* ;[[RPCS3]] is :It's making rapid progress compared to its early days where development was slow and seemed like it wasn't really going anywhere. Many games have become playable, or at least loadable, and it has recently switched the interface to Qt, using a design that's akin to [[Dolphin]].* ;Nucleus is a :A one man project aiming for LLE, some AOT emulation, and portability.* ;Short Waves was made :Made by an unknown developer. It could run a few complex tests that RPCS3 couldn't at the time it released, but it hasn't been updated since.
