Streaming PS3 games to my PC?

[Deleted member 648108]

Hey!
I've been wondering about a way to stream my PS3 game footage to my PC. I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1, and evilnat PS3 for context.
Is there a homebrew application that can do this?
Thanks!

PS3 has big issues with video recording not even speaking about streaming. Use capture card for that

Cool cool. I'll look into capture cards, I've got 0 experience with them xD

The cheap no-name-brand $10 to $20 HDMI capture cards work, but don't expect anything great from them.

They can't do 1080p60 (at most 1080p30) and can only do mono audio on Windows iirc. They also tend to overheat and die. You'll also need an HDMI splitter (some work, some don't - do research on this yourself) to bypass HDCP (copy protection for HDMI) since the PS3 always outputs it.

You can also try Remote Play, but.... it doesn't work well...

I remember trying remote play pre-hacking with my old psvita. Could barely get any games to work xD

That's good to know. I'll look into capture cards that work better on Linux, I'm not downloading a windows emulator just to stream games for friends lmao. Thanks for the heads up!

Not really. The PS3 is really finicky with that kind of stuff, and even most capture cards won't work because of HDCP integrated.
