Rpcs3 is a free PlayStation 3 - emulator and debugger for Microsoft Windows and Linux , the on LLVM based. Currently (June 2020) more than 1850 games are playable.
The emulation results in a loss of speed, which is why the host processor must be faster than the PS3's Cell processor in order to achieve the same frame rate. This is mainly due to the fact that the PowerPC architecture has to be emulated and cannot be translated more directly as with Wine or other compatibility layers .
System requirements
RPCS3 requires at least 4 GB of RAM, an x64 CPU and OpenGL (at least 4.3), Vulkan or DirectX 12, as well as a current Linux , BSD or Windows ( Windows 7 or newer) system. Rapid increases in speed have been reported when using Vulkan . The emulator also requires a Playstation 3 ROM of the firmware, which is not included for legal reasons.
