RPCS3 was started by programmers 'DH' and 'Hykem' (Who began beta-testing and coding for [[JPCSP]] in 2008) in May 23, 2011. The developers initially hosted the project on Google Code and eventually moved it to GitHub later in its development. The emulator was first able to successfully boot and run simple homebrew projects and was then later publicly released in June of 20112012. Then-[[Orbital]] founder, Alex Altea, even joined these two developers in the late summer of 2013, and worked on a number of aspects and maintained the project up till early 2015. DH left the project in mid 2016 and started doing [https://github.com/RPCS4 PlayStation 4 related research].
