PlayStation 3 emulators
Revision as of 15:57, 7 February 2016 by 84.109.202.213 (talk) (Update version numbers and dates for RPCS3 and Nucleus)
The PlayStation 3 (known shorthand as PS3) is a console by Sony, released in 2006/2007. This console is notorious for being difficult to work with, due to the newly-introduced Cell Broadband Engine architecture that no game developer outside of Sony has worked with prior to launch.

Comparisons
- RPCS3 is at its very early stages, and it shows a lot of promise. It can boot quite a few commercial games right now, (albeit most of them run at <1FPS, have heavy glitches, and crash pretty early on) and even more games can boot their splash screens.
- Short Waves was made by an unknown developer. It's not known whether the emulator is active or not.
