Is PS3 Emulation Possible on PS5? Tech Experts Find Fascinating Results
Digital Foundry has conducted an experiment on PS3 emulation using PS5 hardware through a Linux hack. The results indicate that while some launch era PS3 games perform well, others that heavily relied on the PS3's SPUs struggle on the PS5. Experts suggest that future consoles may be better suited for effective PS3 emulation.
- ▪Digital Foundry tested PS3 emulation on PS5 using the RPCS3 emulator.
