- DH, one of the founders of the PS3 emulator RPCS3, is now working on an Android port.
- The interest in PS3 templation on Android has increased due to APS3E, a legally questionable RPCS3 port using stolen code.
- DH has not been actively involved in updating RPCS3 since 2016, when he changed the focus to PS4 emulation.
The PS3 template scene at Android is more active than ever, with the surprise performance of the RPCS3 gate Aps3e Get significant attention. We have already seen Another RPCS3 port Pop up from the developer behind the Nintendo Switch emulator Sudachi, but now an even more reliable source is working with a new port.
Called simply RPCS3-AndroidIt comes from one of the founders of the RPCS3 emulator, DH. They founded the project back in 2011 and created the basis for the code base before leaving in 2016 to work with a PS4 emulator called Rpcsx. Since then, the development of RPCS3 has been taken over by a team of full-time and part-time developers.
The current developers have previously stated that they are Not interested in working with an Android portWith reference to toxicity in the Android emulation community. However, they released an arm version of the PS3 emulator in December last year, which is much easier to port to Android.
This can finally be the year reliable PS3 emulation on Android becomes a reality.
Despite not actively working on the project, having someone with such an intimate knowledge of the PS3 emulator’s code base working on an Android-port, pushing things much longer than Aps3e, which broke more Open Source licenses to put out one Something semi -baked fork of the arm version of RPCS3. That project has been now removed from githubAnd although the development continues, the developer has broken confidence in society by asking for donations for stolen code.
It is not a finished construction for this new RPCS3 Android port, and it may be weeks or months before one becomes publicly available. Still, this looks like the year PS3 emulation on Android finally becomes a reality, which is exciting for fans of Emulation on Android.
