PlayStation 3 emulation has hit a significant new milestone, with the ability to boot any PS3 game to successful graphic output. The extremely sophisticated Cell CPU utilised by Sony’s seventh-generation system was a considerable barrier for emulator makers, although significant progress has been made in this arena in the last several years.
The PS3 is currently regarded as a legacy platform, yet many players still find Sony’s system to be somewhat relevant because of the high calibre of games it managed to acquire over its lifespan. Metal Gear Solid 4, the original Demon’s Souls, and Gran Turismo 6 were among the exclusives, and the ability to mimic them on PC was a crucial factor for many players.
