We finally have a working PS3 emulator on Android, and it’s 100% worth diving in
For years I had wondered when that threshold would have been broken and when would we get a stable experience emulating this fantastic generation on Android.
Like most, I’ve been hearing the buzz about the Armsx2 team cooking some heat in the space lately, and was pleasantly surprised when they announced that they were taking on a RPCS3 fork for Android. If there was a team to crack it, it would be them.
And I’m happy to report that Armsx3 works incredibly well especially when considering how early in its development they are.
Loaded up Deadly Premonition Directors Cut on my Retroid Pocket 5, and instantly was blown away at how well it ran. I’ve never been able to get PS3 dialed in on Android, was always a slideshow with the FPS all over the place, constant crashes and broken textures.
Now? It powers through heavy titles such as DPDC and Max Payne 3, and they are releasing updates constantly.
If you’re a part of this incredible dev team, I owe you a beer. Amazing work, guys. Can’t wait to see the impact that your work has on the scene, it’s prolific and deserves its flowers.
