RPCS3 is a PlayStation 3 (PS3) emulator that is in very early development. Currently usable only for light homebrew and a very small number of commercial games, with heavy glitches. It aims to one day eventually emulate the PS3 fully.

Overview
Development of RPCS3 is early, but promising. As of 22 Mar 2014, it can play the intros to some games with sound[1]. It can also play some of Disgaea 3 and The Guided Fate Paradox, but with heavy graphical glitches and no sprites.[2]
Even on a relatively modern machine, it gets very low framerate. In Disgaea 3's menus it averages less than 3 frames per section[2]. 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.
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.
