Playstation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' has improved Linux support recently

The developer of the open source Playstation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' [GitHub, Official Site] has improved Linux support recently.

Speaking on Patreon, they said:
QuoteLinux support: improved stability, ALSA audio backend is implemented for low-latency sound. Automatic Linux builds may be ready soon.

On top of better Linux support, the developer noted they have been working on improved support for PS3 dynamic link libraries and a new loading mode that helps more games to work.

The emulator is still in the early stages, but it's good to see one being made in the open. I fully believe emulators are important, especially when the original units stop being sold.

I compiled it from the GitHub and here's the interface as of right now:

I don't have any PS3 roms to test it myself, but it at least compiles to give you the UI. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Sweet, maybe this will replace my aging PS3 that has issues reading disks randomly.

He probably had firmware in mind, when he said 'rom'. These emulators require system software ripped from the actual ROM chips of a console.

Edit:

Says right on the page, you just need to download the firmware update file.
