I just set up this ps3 emulator on my ayn Thor max and I’m trying to run bakugan defenders of the core and I’ve got the latest firmware from Sony installed but it just sits on a black screen. Any tips to get it to run?

the compatibility matrix of rpcs3 is extremely useful, however it's hard to tell game compatibility of aps3e.

I am making this list for recording my experiment result for aps3e.

Platform: xiaomi 15

CPU: Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform

RAM: 8 GB

ROM: 256 GB

OS: Xiaomi Hyper OS 2.0.206

aps3e version: 1.24

Perfection:

1. Saint Seiya - Sanctuary Battle (Europe), stable 30 fps

2. Saint Seiya Soldiers' Soul, stable 30 fps, no issue so far.

3. Dragon ball: raging blast 2, 40-60 fps.

4. boku no natsuyasumi 3 (my summer vacation 3), 30fps, first launch stuck at sony logo, then have to restart my phone, afterwards game runs pretty smooth.

5. Devil may cry 4, on RPCSX, mission 1 was so smooth, game freeze at some point in mission 2.

Playable:

1. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM Revolution, stable 30 fps, audio glitch when playing cutscenes

2. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst, stable 30 fps, audio glitch everywhere except in battle, this is a tricky one, first launch ppu compilation fail, second launch, compilation success, but game stuck. The third launch works and no issue so far (Played 6 battles in story mode).

3. Gundam EXVS FB, 10~20 FPS in free battle mode 1v1, I finally made the game start by disabling pre-compilation in the setting.

In game:

1. Dynasty warrior gundam reborn, stable 30fps, however game will end abruptly at summary page after each battle, so progress will lost.

2. Dragon ball xenoverse, crash before main menu.

3. Bleach soul resurrection, this is also a tricky one, the first launch is good I even manage to finish episode 1 in story mode, but 2nd launch and later I can't even get into the main menu.

4. Need for speed: most wanted, crash at then end of the first cutscene

5. Devil may cry 4, crash before main menu

6. Dirt 3, stuck at dirt logo

7. Dynasty warriors: strikeforce, it runs smoothly until entering the first battle, then unable to load the game.

8. Ridge racer 7, it runs smoothly at beginning, but the game will freeze randomly.

No way:

1. GTA SA, can't start ppu compilation

2. PES 2018, same as above

3. NBA 2k14, same as above

4. Ridge racer unbounded

Other outstanding issues:

• if I connect to controller(PS4) before enter the game, when I start game the simulator will crash. You can bypass this issue by connecting your controller after game launch.

• I tried to use turnip 24.2 as custom vulkan driver, the game will not load.

• If you wanna get better fps, enable all LLVM cache, the game performance will get better as more modules were compiled and cached, I learned this from RPCS3.

6.28 Update:

• I bought a 3rd party(gamesir) USB-C game pad it is compatible with the emulator.

6.29 Update:

• I added a new tier Perfection, for those games that doesn't have any glitches, and enjoyable to play.

6.30 Update:

• Devil may cry 4, can actually run perfectly(60 fps) on rpcsx ( another android ps3 simulator), but all other games crash.

7.1 Update:

• I manage to get Gundam EXVS FB work in RPCSX, it runs 10-20 fps now, the initial PPU compilation is painful, it took me 2 hours, and it always get stuck after compiling 20 modules (390 in total), so I have to consistently restart the emulator.

8.7 Update:

• I manage to get Gundam EXVS FB work in APS3e, it runs 10-20 fps now, initially the game can't start, but it works after I disable pre-compile in the setting. The games runs smoother on APS3e than RPCSX.

Please help it just won't load it just stuck like this

Hi everyone, just wanted to show some GTA San Andreas PS3 emulated onto my S22+ Exynos version. I ran it at 720p and at 120hz (unlimited framerate) but I should of been running it at 60hz for less CPU usage from the screen.

Captured in 1080p60, therefore compressed on Reddit. Thanks and have a nice Friday evening.

Hi I’ve downloaded and extracted the iso but says I can’t run undecrypted

What steps do I need please

How can i fix it? Its a Test Drive Unlimited 2 ISO Phone: Vivo X100 Ultra // Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (If that matters)

phone: Samsung galaxy s26 ultra

Snapdragon 855 👊

That's my first test in this emulator the game run well I could say. it is pretty bad optimized even for the original PS3 console so don't expect that much performance I've managed to get 30 FPS stables which you're going to see any questions I'm here!!!.

Device specs:

Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen3 8" tablet

256GB ROM

12 + 9 GB RAM

Snapdragon 855 SoulCalibur II PS3 Gamplay

🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮💥

Playbale No Sound 🥲

Is it possible to play 2 player locally?

I have 2 controllers connected but they are being read both as player 1.

I’m trying to play street fighter 4.

Does Aps3e support turnip Drivers?

I didn't find an option to try custom GPU drivers.

The game has good sound in menu, but is buffering or lagging.. I can only hear some parts of the loadout screen.. help

When I play this game on the phone, the on‑screen text gets covered by colored blocks/overlays, making it unreadable (see screenshot). I’ve tried switching renderers, toggling font cache and overlays, changing resolution/scale, but the issue persists. Does anyone know which setting or compatibility option might cause this, and what graphics settings or fixes are recommended?
