If you made the PS3 game yourself and have the original source code and assets, yes you can make it into a PS4 game. Otherwise you're gonna struggle tbh.

If you're not the people who originally made the game then you don't convert it. That's why you don't see other PS3 games that have been converted to PS4 by users, only ones that get official releases.

you can do that if you just write "ps4" over the ps3 logo on the disc with a marker. then you can throw it around like a frisbee.

the solution is linux on ps4
then I install the emulator and it's done
the iso of the games I made them start with the webman when the ps3 worked
which linux distro should i install to ps4 to play with ps3 iso

I read from dominator that the series x should be able to run ps3 games well, but I don't think such an emulator exists, possibly due to how complicated it is to emulate that system.

there's a video i saw a year or 2 ago. some guy was able to convert any PS3 game he had to work on PS4. which took advantage of the graphical upgrade. i think it was similar to the app for converting PS3 isos into a Classics executable, where it used one of the already released games as a template for conversion

afaik, there's no official ps3 emulator with any game, so any ps3 game is a ps4 version of it.

This is simply not possible. What you think you saw vs what you did see… faked.

Exactly right, there is no emulator, PSPlus uses streaming for PS3 games. You cannot download a ps3 game to your ps4/5.
a friend has the premium version of plus. he told me that he was playing a ps3 game, got disconnected, lost all progress since last save. what a load of shit that thing is.

It’s honestly terrible. I have the top tier one too and PS3 games are awful. No move support kills me the most… games demonstrate them in the set up and then simply don’t use them….

I had gamepass at one point, but I just bought all the games I wanted while they were on sale, then downgraded to gold for the two free games a month. I felt the same way about the higher tiers of psn. I figured just buy what I want instead of upgrading my service from the standard psn plus. I do have the expansion pack for nso, because I do play the n64 games. I'm at ganon in oot, and I'm a ways through paper Mario (have maybe 10 hours). I don't play genesis though, because most of the games I'd want to play are on that genesis collection, which I own.

Probably. PS1/2/PSP can be made as classics.
and saturn. I heard the saturn emulator runs better than the psp one.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
