    So a while ago i was on the site of the dolphin emulator checkin the guides to adjust my settings so i can get cool fps and there u go there is an ad with a video linking to a blog . the video is about ps3 emulator seems realistic.when i got in the site i was asked to do a survey which involved senting an sms from my phone.ofcourse i didnt do that. so how come such a scam was advertised ?or its not a scam and indeed they have emulated the ps3? your thoughts on this as well as recomendations to people that search for new gen emulators.

    its a scam. the x86 architecture is not capable of emulating the PS3 architecture. it's simply not powerful enough.

    yea i thought that.well not the architecture part but the part where games can play.although i dont really get it when you can play for example a game that is both on pc and ps3 u can play it on high graphics on your computer without flaws that would make your computer incapable of playing the same game on a ps3 emu. do console games have higher requirements?because for the past 3 hours i ve been trying to set up dolphin.managed to set the controller but when i run the game i always get 40% speed :p although i guess it must be something with the game related. xD i see the entrance screen in slow mo . still dont understand why console games have higher requirements than pc games o.0

    consoles are generally less powerful than PCs (except the PS3), however emulation incurs overheads, which can be quite significant (especially when emulators are in fairly early stages of development) which means that PCs need to be quite a bit more powerful than the console in order to emulate it.
