    With how much of a beast of a PC you need to use RPCS3 at a good framerate, I wouldn’t hold much hope for an Android PS3 emulator.

      RPCS3 runs well on a steam deck, which is not exactly a beast.

      Depends a lot on the game, Ridge Racer 7 is easy to run for example. Playing it on 5600X + RX 6800 at 4x scaling with rock solid 60 FPS. I’m sure some powerful phones could run games at native res and 30 FPS

        Sure if all you want to play are small indie PSN games, but that’s not what people want a PS3 emulator for.

        Maybe, but well-known PS3 exclusive titles like “the last of us” won’t run.

          That’s no longer an exclusive, there’s a PC remake. You could’ve picked a better example.

            I’ve picked this game as an example, as it is one of the best looking PS3 games.

            But you’re right, it has been remade.

      Well, emators are mostly CPU-bound and the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a surprisingly powerful chip. It’s doable with a flagship phone.
