I’ve had Emudeck before and played a lot of emulators fine but I struggled even getting PS3 to run. Not sure if I did something wrong. I’ve heard PS3 games can be a bit hit or miss on the Deck, but I’ve also seen clips of people playing them OK. Plus I’m not sure with the latest 3.5 software update if that helps, with the whole SMT fix.
What’s the best emulator for PS3 and what’s the best way to go about setting it up? Is there a guide specifically for PS3 emulation on the Deck?
You’ll want to tinker with the performance settings within RPCS3 itself, and also make sure the game you are trying to play has a sufficiently high performance rating with this emulator. If it’s a game that is not currently running well even on a powerful PC, the Deck won’t be able to do much with it.
Retro Game Corps is reportedly working on a PS3 emulation video for the SD. I’m watching to see what he can get running and what he has to say about the most effective settings to tweak to improve performance.
