Development of RPCS3 is early, but promising. As of 22 Mar 2014, it can play the intros to some games with sound<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcUcD9y51w</ref>. It can also play some of Disgaea 3 and The Guided Fate Paradox, but with heavy graphical glitches and no sprites.<ref name="Disgaea3 video">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQEv6B6fIgA</ref>

Even on a relatively modern machine, it gets very low framerate. In Disgaea 3's menus it averages less than 3 frames per section<ref name="Disgaea3 video"/>. Gameplay usually averages <1 frame per second. The emulator has yet to implement a dynarec ([[Dynamic recompilation]]) – instead relying entirely on an interpreter, which means that it runs much slower than what will be possible in the future.  
But as of 10 Mar 2016, the emulator was able to play Ice Age 3: Dawn of The Dinosaurs at a playable speed with no major glitches.<ref name="Ice Age 3 Video">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhCVRLi2qdk</ref>, and since 26 July 2016, it can run Resogun smoothly.<ref name="Resogun video">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtU7E9o7F_E</ref>
 
Even on a relatively modern machine, it gets very low framerate on most games. Gameplay usually averages 10-20 frames per second depending on game.

It will be a while before it can play complex PS3 games. However – if the devs keep going at this rate, the wait might be shorter than anticipated.
