    Although this isn't something I would purchase because I've managed my own emu libraries since the nesticle/genecyst/RAGE/etc days, I certainly see the appeal of having stuff already set up and ready to go.

    Playstation 3 emulation on that setup was giving me flashbacks to the early days of N64 emulation, nearly everything ran at those sorts of frame rates with the same stuttering sound. I think we're probably about 5-10 years away from PS3 emulation being mature enough for you to just pickup and play with most games working.
    Strangely, the lights on the front of the drive look just like Isaac Clarke's helmet from Dead Space 2.

      RPCS3 is very stable and supports the majority of games these days, you do need higher specs than this for it though. I was using it to play the original Demon's Souls as I never had a PS3.

      @@bopiangM the recommended specs for PS3 equivalent graphical settings are a nVidia GTX 900 series/AMD RX400 series and a CPU with at least 6 cores/12 threads. It'll run on less than that, but not very well, as you saw here. On my RTX 2080 + i9-9700k I can comfortably play games like MGS3 HD edition at 300% (4k) resolution scaling with 16x anisotropic filtering. Raising the default resolution above 720p has caused a few crashes for me however.

    Not a lot of systems actually, didn't notice Sega Genesis/MegaDrive for one. Not to mention all the niche systems that Chinese game-preloaded consoles like to include, from Master System to Amiga, Atari and PC-98.

    • @DurradonXylles
      @DurradonXylles Před rokem

      Yeah, if they got rid of the PS4 titles since emulation for that system is still very much in its infancy, so none of those games are going to run at all well and those ten ISOs and/or digital packages must take up a ton of space (I know for a fact that none of those games are any less than 40 GB in size each in install size, uncompressed, so that console's inclusion easily takes up a good 25% of that entire drive even if compressed), they could just replace that with all Sega consoles pre-Saturn, Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan, MSX, MSX2, PC-98, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Jaguar, Commodore 64, Amiga, PC Engine, PC-FX, CD-i, Virtual Boy, every arcade system MAME currently supports, and still have enough room for the NES/Famicom, Game Boy family of handhelds and Game Gear that were also neglected to be put on here. Hell, they could probably still fit the entire eXoDOS and ScummVM libraries on there for kicks.
