PS3 emulator

[Yuno-Gasai]

Hi everyone,

 

Yesterday, I got the latest game of Higurashi's serie, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sui through totally legal ways    but it's a PS3 game, I searched on internet but all links I found don't  work, have survey, or the BIOS aren't updated, so does somebody know a good PS3 emulator please?

There is no current functioning PS3 emulator and anything that leads you to surveys and stuff is obviously fake and not safe.

 

There is one PS3 emulator being worked on called RPCS3 that can currently start up some games but it's still incredibly buggy and choppy and by no means functional to play most commercial games properly.

 

You can find a list of "playable" games with RPCS3 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/2msdbu/in_the_time_since_ps3_emulator_rpcs3_came_into/

^ This. Both Xbox360 and PS3 emulators are still in their infancy, and it'll take quite a while (I'd say 2-3 years) until we're anywhere near able to run a decent amount of games somewhat reliably. It depends on the amount and quality of work put into the development of the emulators - some real talent, like Dolphin has with that one female programmer (not the one that died recently, which is still a massive blow to emulation), might be able to speed up that process a bit.

Thank you very much for your answer, well I guess I'll wait for a real ps3 emulator then.

PS3s are really cheap nowadays, you might as well buy one then sell it

Yes but I don't know if an european PS3 can read a japanese game.

Yes but I don't know if an european PS3 can read a japanese game.

They can, Playstation 3 games are region-lock free with very few (and I mean literally a tiny amount) exceptions.

Doesn't apply to DLC though as those are tied in with region specific Playstation Stores but I don't think this is a problem you're concerned with here.

Thank you very much I didn't know.
