I don't own a PS3 so i never bothered to investigate, but a friend does, and all he has is a NES emulator + HEN and playstation123 games.
I'm sure there must be some options for genesis, SNES, N64, Handhelds, and so on... Maybe dreamcast? maybe gamecube? that's a stretch i know but.. maybe?

Anyways, i tried searching with the tags and nothing useful showed up, so... emulators sticky? ports and related homebrews are also welcome

If think that there's a lot of playable emulators on RetroArch PS3 version but it doesn't seem to run very well on the PS3 due to it's specific architecture, don't expect much from it

yeah i figured retroarch was a mixed bag from my experience with O3DS and how only a few work decently. Perhaps someone made a guide to which ones are useful? otherwise standalone emulators is what im after

I think i've encountered some stuttering on SNES games when i was testing Retroarch, there's many versions & cores to tinker with, but i just didn't bother with it. I much prefer the Wii when it comes to emulation. Though no good GC/Dreamcast emulation on either!

It's a shame a GCN/DC emulator doesn't exist for PS3, but developers did say it was a machine hard to develop for so it's no surprise.

Still, with PS1, PS2, PS3, and retro consoles there are plenty of games to choose from.

My favorite DC game kinda is SONIC Adventure 2, though just the first stage (the only nostalgic memory I have of it).

    Playing and looking at Gollum seems like shit.

    That sums it up right.

    I am not it the loop on this, why take it so personally, though? Its just a video game and a work of fiction, at the end of the day.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'm sure the devs don't mind refunding my .torrent for it
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    @Megadriver94, because these devs take child hood movies and make them look like shit expecting to profit off it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3N1, That's what happens to every movie franchise.

    At least we can point and laugh to an indie game that is not worth playing.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Last I read Amazon owns some rights you'd think a billion dollar company could fork more over for a decent game but their last game bricked GPUs so theirs that
    +1
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Be an e-commerce. Build a game that destroy the GPUs. Sell new GPUs. PROFITS!
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Don't forget your 4090 we promise the next LOTR MMO will make it work for more than a year

    Yay for user end replacement parts
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your graphics card doesn't work with your game then don't blame us for shitty game performance.

    At least @AncientBoi can run games released in his childhood
