@mitu hmm,i only saw arch-linux ppas, i'll have to check again.

They have an AppImage - I thought this is a portable kit and cab be run on any Linux installation, just like a FlatPak kit.

I'll play around later or next week, but you should only need fuse to open appimages. They specifically have an arm64 appimage on the website so it shouldn't have an architectural problem

In my experience should only need libfuse2 for AppImage to run. (on Raspberry Pi OS 64bit Bookworm)

So the app does load, added the PS3 firmware (fyi this is still available even today on PlayStation.com's official channels), added my copy of Braid, changed the resolution to as low as possible 25% of native, it loads and is around 11fps. So there's probably other things they did to make it work at a not unreasonable speed. Anyway I'm not a big PS3 fan, it's more that I was really impressed that such an advanced machine could even be booted on a pi 5.

I'll leave this here for now, but if anyone does want to pick this up and play with the settings, it definitely runs

@retropieuser555
Are you using an overclock on your pi5?

I've still got a PS3 serving as my primary bluray player at this point, so doubt this is worth it from a playing standpoint, especially at such a low resolution. But this does sound intriguing from a tinkering standpoint. Thanks for confirming that it is at least operational.

I found this for X86. (rpcs3-appImage.sh)
I don't know if it works well. I know it's not for Pi5, but good to know.

Can the Raspberry Pi 5 handle PS3 games with the RPCS3 emulator as shown in the developers' latest video?

Hi retropieuser555,

I tried the script above on a Pi5, but I'm not sure if it install rpcs3-v0.0.34-17229-38571067_linux_aarch64.AppImage and I don't know if something is missing for a Pi5 on Retropie. It's probably to slow, but I'm just curious to do a test.

Do you see any big missing part in that script?. I follow the instructions proposed on the GitHub page (link above).

Thanks

@DTEAM you can just download it off RPCS3 official website, that's all I did. No need to worry about scripts. Although I did run it in the desktop environment, I didn't bother to see if it ran in the framebuffer or needed a window manager etc
