  • PS3 emulator aPS3e is now available on the Google Play Store.
  • From the mysterious Chinese developer aenu, it’s based on the RPCS3 source code.
  • The project now proclaims to be open-source, but may not be meeting requirements.

It’s been a few months since the first PS3 emulator launched on Android, and what a busy few months it’s been. The sudden appearance (and disappearance) of aPS3e brought forth a renewed interest in PS3 emulation on Android, with one of the original RPCS3 devs now working on a port. Now, aPS3e is available on the Play Store, and it seems to be taking steps toward becoming more legit.

To recap, aPS3e is a PS3 emulator on Android based on the RPCS3 source code. Coming from an unknown Chinese developer called aenu, it mashes together code from RPCS3, Vita3K, and Termux to create a working Android port. Our early testing in February showed that it still has a long ways to go, with only a handful of games managing to launch.
