The team behind RPCS3, a well-known PlayStation 3 emulator, has issued a warning about fraudulent emulators claiming to run PS3 games on mobile devices. These “scam” emulators are misleading users into believing that they can emulate PS3 games on Android or iOS platforms.

It surprises me a bit that PS3 emulation isn't a thing on some of the newest Android phones (but not actually good yet). I could probably do PS2 fairly well on my current phone, and it's so old it's an LG, was the jump from PS2 to PS3 that big of a jump? (Having lived through that era... actually yeah, it kinda was.)

Higher end mobile processors could but it is a big jump in computational load, not just because of the increased processing power of the PS3, but also because it is quite architecturally different from traditional x86 CPUs.

This is why it's kind of amazing how efficient RPCS3 is.
