A raspberry pi or steam deck will offer a generally better emulation experience than a ps3- the homebrew scene for the ps3 leaves a lot to be desired.
Interesting! Thanks for letting me know. A steam deck is a consideration since its very cool but also quite expensive. Pi, I assume put in a handheld format, would be an idea as well.
It’s interesting that your experience with the ps3 is so different from other commenters. What exactly were you disappointed with?
The ps3 provides decent ui but due to stunted interest in the ps3 for homebrew there hasn’t been as much of a focus on getting emulators running well, just to get them running, so while 2d systems will run well at native res you won’t be able to push them very far with shaders, and while n64 allegedly works decently you’ll be stuck with buggy and slow performance. The real upside to the ps3 is decent ps1 and ps2 emulation because of Sonys efforts (even on non-bc consoles) which opens the door to thousands more games.
Interesting! I never thought of the ps3 marketshare/sales. Makes a ton of sense. I will keep an eye out for sources so I can make an informed decision. :)
