install stop at 70%

Awesome. I put Trails in the sky 3rd (english patched) and so far it seems to work great. Will update later of any issues come up.

Was super happy because I was about to skip that one as I don't like playing jrpgs at the desk. Also because it is the evo version.

Thanks for this and everything else.

EDIT: As other have noted it "froze" at 70 percent during install. However I just left it for like 10 minutes and it eventually went through. Works fine now. Another thing is I installed the Firmware manually afterwards by copying the files over from PC. Not sure if that was necessary but anyway it is an option if you don't want to wait for the firmware self installer.

Amazing @Nagaa does it again. How's the PS3 emu going?

It's just taking a bit of time to install the firmware, but it's not stuck
As for .vpk files, some people have reported issues with them i've only tried a few basic homebrew games in .vpk, and they worked fine

For now, i recommend using .pkg files with the required work.bin file for decryption in the same folder as the .pkg, or NoNpDrm .zip files, although they're a bit slow to install.

I was able to get a few games to boot, like Demon’s Souls and KH 1.5 Remix, but it will probably never work on 4GB. So i’ve put this project on the side for now, since most people won’t be able to use it

You had PS3 running on a Switch, Kudos!

Please, release the PS3 emulator on a Switch in it's current state if you could, of course..

just really-really-really want to play "Earthworm Jim HD" remastered on a Switch via PS3 emu.

Guess it will be fine for such a lightweight game!

Tried Muramasa and it crashes after moving to a different area, but it's still amazing to see it running at full speed on the Switch, I'll test a couple other games and see how they run.

does anyone knows why this happen? is the European version, thanks in advance

IllusionMaster17 · 2026-08-29T23:36:23+0100

I've been trying to play Mortal Kombat and Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, but both games doesn't start, the screen turns black for a second and return to Vita3k menu
Is there an specific configuration or overclock to do with these games or compatibility with these specific games is not tested yet?

Praisejesus1192 · 2026-08-30T01:17:10+0100

Is it possible to install dlcs? I tried to install p3 dancing and p4 dancing and none of them seem to had any dlcs at all, + persona 3 had no sound. I’m just wondering if it’s even possible or I did smth wrong

AMAZING WORK!!!

just tested out tales of hearts R and it run really well. ive only done the tutorial so idk if the performance will drop if i get further into the game.

i did notice when i saved the game there wasn't any text. hope that can be fixed later on.

EDIT: nvm installing the firmware fixed the text issues.

Drie93 · 2026-08-30T14:48:46+0100

Please test umvc3, stuck at title screen, and the text is unreadable

Someone got Dead Space to run on their switch, i havent been able to get mine to run, but you do need Homebrew Modules to make it run.

edit:Guide they used- https://github.com/v-atamanenko/deadspace-vita

They used this guide, i got past my first error for not having HB module, but then get another error booting it.

They used this guide https://github.com/v-atamanenko/deadspace-vita , i have not been able to get my copy to boot yet

@Nagaa The Genroku Legends DLC is not being detected even though I have already installed it. Also, it freezes whenever I go outside the house. By the way, thanks for porting this emulator to the Nintendo Switch.

~~But it's a PS Vita port, not a Switch one.~~

Oh, I see. One could use Vita3K emulator to run PSV homebrews, even on a Switch, too. Kewl!..

Correct but apparently it runs well and user didnt mention overclocks (idk if they did), its your best hope for now.
