RPCS3 is ages away from having a full real PS3 game loading up properly, let alone being actually playable. I don’t understand why the “by the time this is fully working…” statement is used so much. In fact, a ps3 emulator will never run full speed unless it makes use of parallel processing, it’s time for emulators to use GPUs and bit more (CUDA/DirectCompute/OpenCL) as on most existing emulators these are wasted resources while they could be used to emulate specific part/tasks of the emulated hardware, of course that makes writing the emulators a much more complex task, considering these are written by enthusiasts they may lack the resources/time to do so. (Any PC can be hooked to TV but steambox is just trying to be more “TV Friendly”.Ĭonsidering how we’ve reached the maximum possible clock speed efficiency on a CPU (and are proving moore law’s wrong), the fact is there will never be a CPU (short of a quantum computer) fast enough to emulate the PS3 hardware (1 PPU (in order PPC 3.2Ghz) + 7 SPUs + RSX) at full speed, therefore we need start thinking out of the box and stop writing “conventional” emulators (an emulator needs to run on a hardware that’s at least 7 times as fast as the emulated target in order to run at a decent speed) With the way steambox is going having a PC hooked to your TV may become a norm rather than a monitor. Some people don’t like to have so many wires and switching Video cables on their TV. Some gamers like emulators because it keeps things in one place. It may be 20 years from now if it has to take that long, but this WILL happen (assuming PS3 emulation is still being supported and worked on)Ĥ) Unity. Because of that, when RPCS3 is really stable and compatible, some game will look MUCH better than they did on the PS3. Also, newer, better PC hardware will always come out, whereas the PS3 will never have stronger hardware.

PC gamers tend to enjoy playing with keyboard over gamepads. Anyone here with a TON of NES games who really did purchase them? ģ) A better way to play.

Lots of us with emulators usually don’t actually own the game (due to not owning the console or simply because there is a way to get the game for free (emulators). For this we could copy said game from disc to computer.Ģ) Piracy. I barely watch videos above 240p (144p on youtube) because data. Streaming a 720p- video for HOURS is likely to hurt some of us. I have a few reasons why PSnow really wouldn’t have much of an effect on this.ġ) Data caps. If this does happen, people might not bother with RPCS3 anymore.” Although Sony has yet to announce it, one of these devices might be PC. “This is great and all, but will this PS3 emulation quickly become irrelevant? PlayStation Now is being released for more and more devices.
