RPCS3 is a PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PS Vita emulator that's very promising. Currently usable for a handful of commercial titles (see the compatibility list). Recent efforts have allowed it to also begin emulating the PS Vita in a basic manner; do note that no games are currently playable however.

Originally, you needed to extract the firmware from a modded PS3, but since these files are also distributed with updates, the developers added the ability to extract them from there instead. This is where you would get them. Then install it by going to Tools -> Install Firmware.

Overview
RPCS3 was started in May of 2011. Three years into its development, it could load the intros to some games with sound,[1] as well as play some portions of Disgaea 3 and The Guided Fate Paradox, but with heavy graphical glitches and no sprites.[2]
Developer Nekotekina opened a Patreon campaign in 2017, with kd-11 joining not long after.
The emulator is capable of running some games at a playable speed with no major glitches, such as Ice Age 3: Dawn of The Dinosaurs,[3] Resogun,[4] and After Burner Climax.[5]
It will still take a while before it can play the more complex games. The team is small and progress will likely be slow.
