So, a friend told me about a ps3 emulator. I never heared about it before.
Is it srsly possible to run a virtual ps3, which has a totally different architecture, on a pc?!

The emulator is even less than 7 mb?!
Altough i can't believe it will work, it would be great to play gta 5.
It's fake
PS3 Emulation is currently impossible
Even Wii / PS2 emulator have some trouble running on decent computers. I can't imagine a 360 or a PS3 emulator.
Besides that, for the 360 they need to port a fucking shitload of stuff which is pretty much impossible to pull off, loads of drivers, the entire OS, hardware itself.
There was a whole post about it on some forums, will try to grab it but in short its nearly impossible to pull off.
Even if it were possible, the cost of the hardware required to run it would be enough to purchase several actual PS3s
Hahahahaha, good one.
To emulate a PS3 you would need a STUPIDLY powerful computer.
Who is this luca00555 and why is he disagreeing with everything without a reason?

he's the friend who told me about the emulator.... :v:
Complete bullshit, first they want you to 'download the PS3 bios' after filling out a survey (hint create a folder called ps3bios)

after that it just gives you another survey

seems like legit coding

They've made it possible to emulate most popular PS2 games, but it's currently so inefficient at it.

Well then I'm the one to take the blame. I was the one to send him this link.
i just looked camcole1 up. Altough i didn't read the whole tread, he hacked people by installing keyloggers?

This has nothing to do with the PS3 ISO of GTA V being put up on torrent sites.
NOTHING AT ALL

This was probably the best thing I've read this week.
And to stay on topic, I've heard there is one emulator that currently only runs small homebrews and that's it. So yeah, give it a few more years. Maybe when hardware get's better to run both the OS itself and the emu this will get real.
[editline]15th September 2013[/editline]
Also this seems to be pretty much the same thing like that fake 3DS "emulator".
I have to admit that the people who made it took the right moment to get the most attention.

Completely flawless and lagless emulation, even when PS2 emulation hasn't been mastered yet.
And gee, look at that start-up! Getting this right now.
This is the only real PS3 emulator as of now. It emulates only some homebrew stuff included with it.

Yep, this one is real but its going to be I'd guess at few years before its running much of anything at all if they even have that kind of motivation and gain an active team. Good unholy god I can't imagine the nightmare of emulating all the anti piracy/hack shit like hypervisor in the ps3.
If everyone recalls, PCSX2 has been and still is in development for over a DECADE and is still not complete.
Hell, Nintendo 64 emulators have been around since the late 90's and people are still working on those ancient bug riddled hacky messes, there is a lot of old code written on Windows 98 machines in Project64 and 1964 amoung others. One of the best plugins, Glide, was made for Voodoo graphics cards.. a company that doesn't even exist anymore. You need an extra dll file to translate everything to something the geforce and ATI cards understand. I think part of the incompatibility with n64 and ps2 emlators is what they were trying to run it on at the time vs now and its not something easily changed as it would require a complete rewrite which has been recognized by a few people.
CEN64 which is a spinoff of the MESS n64 code is a cycle accurate n64 emulator which is almost running at a playable frame rate but also years away from being complete meaning a (eventually, and IF they finish it) perfect n64 emulator isn't running full speed even on modern PC hardware.
Emulator coders are wizards as it is and I was already thinking at the time PCSX2 was just starting that they'd never get even close to what they've pulled off already. The complexity keeps going up. The PS3 has so much shit in it its going to take a long time.
Knowing this, its pretty obvious when a fake is posted. I don't know why people even bother doing it.

Because there is always some kid who doesn't know better, who wants to play free games, and is willing to "borrow" his parents credit card.

One of the reasons that older N64 emulators (PJ64, 1964, etc.)have nasty bugs is because of the Nintendo 64's CPU. The Nintendo 64 used a MIPS R4300, which was a cut down version of the R4200. Both were 64 bit CPUs, the only difference between the two was the R4300 had a 32 bit external data bus to reduce cost.
The problem with this though is that 64 bit ops take two bus cycles to complete, causing a massive performance hit. This was a saving grace though because it discouraged developers from using lots of 64 bit code in their games, which in addition to being slow would take up double the amount of space in an already constrained cartridge system. Hadn't this been the case, there would have been no N64 emulation because 64 bit x86 processors wouldn't hit the market for another half decade.
But even though 64 bit code was discouraged for practical reasons, it wasn't forbidden and some games did use snippets of 64 bit code, which caused them to malfunction in emulation (graphical bugs, freezing, crashing, etc.) You can trap these instructions and try to ignore them, but it doesn't always work.
I wonder if this next generation might be easier to emulate. Probably not, considering you still have to emulate the OS (especially the Xbox One's), hardware and all the anti-piracy DRM shit.

that'd be a lot easier than emulating an entire different architecture
Cliffs on what makes PS3 emulation so demanding? Why would you need such a powerful computer if the PS3 isn't that powerful itself? Same question for PS2.
Sorry if these seem like dumb questions

Both consoles have a really weird architecture, especially the PS3 where the CPU that looks like it was designed by a mental patient.
