Start working on Vita emulation, you cowards.
- Vita3k...?
  
  Like I said...
  
  Check the last time that was updated.
- How many Vita games are worth emulating?
  
  I mean... all of them? I don't recognize that as a valid question, honestly. That's not how emulation or game preservation work.
  
  I was just thinking I couldn't remember any ps3 games at all either (granted I never had a ps3)
  
  Odin Sphere
  not a lot more

More doom per phone

With how much of a beast of a PC you need to use RPCS3 at a good framerate, I wouldn't hold much hope for an Android PS3 emulator.
- RPCS3 runs well on a steam deck, which is not exactly a beast.
  
  Compared to a phone it is.
- Depends a lot on the game, Ridge Racer 7 is easy to run for example. Playing it on 5600X + RX 6800 at 4x scaling with rock solid 60 FPS. I'm sure some powerful phones could run games at native res and 30 FPS
  
  Maybe, but well-known PS3 exclusive titles like "the last of us" won't run.
  
  Sure if all you want to play are small indie PSN games, but that's not what people want a PS3 emulator for.
- Well, emators are mostly CPU-bound and the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a surprisingly powerful chip. It's doable with a flagship phone.

MGS4 30 fps wen?
- Just go watch MGS4 on Youtube (although the story is absolute trash tier), what little gameplay there is is terrible. I think in my completion of it I had about 5 hours of gameplay + 11 hours of cutscenes.
