With the rumors about the Playstation 5 launch, some people are still interested in playing Playstation 3 (PS3). This can be seen with how many PS3 rentals that still exist. Now you can play PS3 games on your PC with a PS3 emulator.

Starting with ePXSe for PS1, PCSX2 for PlayStation2, and also PPSSPP emulator exclusive for PSP games.

As time passed on PS3 finally have its own emulator. At first, many are skeptical if PS3 games can be played on PC because it has complicated engine programs, that even game developers find it complicated.

Now Dunia Games will share some info on PS3 emulators for those who wanted to play PS3 games on your Windows PC.

• Then download “LLE Modules” to complete the RPCS3 PS3 emulator. 
• Open RPCS3. Click config and then go to setting. From there, you have to enable these 4 files, libresc.prx, librtc.prx, libsre.prx and libspurs_jq.prx 
• Then click on the graphic tab and choose the VGA card that will be used in the column “D3D Adapter”. Pick your favorite VGA card,i.e. NVIDIA or ATI Radeon, so the Render is adjusted to your PC specification.

3. RetroArch

4. Mednafen

Mednafen, formerly known as Nintencer is free software with multi-system SDL and Open GL.

Mednafen is one of the best PS3 emulators because you can remap the PS3 buttons to your keyboard or joystick.

5. Ps3emu

The next PS3 emulator is PS3emu. This emulator has the function to port PS3 game to x86_64 Linux and recompiles as many PS3 coding as possible to x86 system.

But lately many of its users complained about Ps3emu. The reason was that this PS3 emulator contains a virus that’s dangerous for Windows. So if you decide to download Ps3emu, you have to be careful.

6. Nucleus

Nucleus is an open-source PS3 emulator and developed alone by Alexandro Sanchez or more known as AlexAltea.

In the middle of developing Nucleus as a PS3 emulator, AlexAlteas is also working on a PS4 emulator named as Orbital

But sadly AlexAltea is not working and developing Nucleus anymore and more focused on working in the PS4 emulator, Orbital.

7. Short Waves

The last PS3 emulator on this list is Short Waves. It has been developed since 2012 by InoriRus and also has its own Freeware license.

Just like Nucleus, Short Waves is still in the development phase, as a result, Short Waves is only capable of running some homebrew apps.

But one interesting thing about Short Waves is its ability to run complex tests. Even RPCS3 is unable to do that.

That’s the list of PS3 emulator that ever existed. But the writer recommends you to us RPCS3 as your emulator if you want to play PS3 games in Windows. Knowing that RPSC3 can be said as the best PS3 emulator at the moment.
