I was wondering which would be more effecient for maintaining a library of my favorite playstation games, a hacked PS3 (PS1-3 games) or just emulating it all on PC?

I don't currently have a PS3 but was thinking about getting a cheap one somewhere but was wondering if it was ultimately worth it.

PS3 Emulation is in its infancy. Look up RPCS3.

Best bet is to just buy an actual system.

You actually can. But it's not intended to run commercial games. Buuuut... technically... yes, it's possible. >> RPCS3.

On topic, it will actually be better to get a hacked PS3 if you want to play all the games available on it, because the emulator can just run one or two commercial games at a stable performance. For PSOne and PSTwo, you can just download the emulators of the respective console and you'll be fine.

Why is hacked so much of a necessity?
The PS3 is old as fuck, and you can get a good variety of games second hand for less than 10€ on gamestop.
It would be just a couple of games that you pay above 10€ for.

Now, if you want emulate in PC I suppose you weren't suggesting hacked for homebrew.

I more or less want a solid place to keep all my favorite PS1 and PS2 games and play them comfortably. My old PS1 and PS2 no longer work and I prefer to consolidate or get things digitally now a days and not repay for games I've already bought. I never owned a PS3 but I'm down for getting some exclusives I missed out on.

So yeah, there's that.

I've explained around the forum my stance on the matter...

Your case I understand perfectly.
But in the USA, the same as here in Germany you can actually find games in the stores and they are cheap.

If i ever leave this hell I'll most likely go legit, or legit+HB just to get game modifiers, or VC/eboots injects that aren't offered officially.
I have a couple of original 3DS cartridges and used to have about 2 UMD's, but even if i wanted the ones I actually like they cost a ridiculous amount of money, or you aren't able to find them at all.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away.
