aps3e

aps3e is the first functional PlayStation 3 emulator for Android. Based on RPCS3, the PS3 emulator for PC, aps3e is optimized for use on Android devices with ARM architecture. Thanks to it, you can enjoy Sony's third console titles directly on a smartphone or tablet without having to resort to a PC.

Minimum requirements for aps3e

To use aps3e, it is necessary to have an Android device running Android 7 or higher, as well as arm64 architecture. Support for the Vulkan API is also required, as it is the one used by the emulator to run the games. The newer your Android device is, the better the emulator will work. The processor you use is key, since it is in charge of emulating the execution of the console.

How to use aps3e

When opening aps3e, the first thing to do is to install the console firmware by going to the three dots at the top right of the screen. After that, you have to click on "Install Firmware". There, you will have to look for the PS3UPDAT.PUP file, which you can get from the official Sony website. After installing it, you can install your game backups stored in ISO or PKG format. Once you have installed them, they will appear in the list of available games. The first opening in the games can be slow, as the game has to preload a multitude of elements of each title

Controls in aps3e

aps3e is compatible with Bluetooth controllers. If you do not have a controller, you can use the touch controls on the screen. You have the same button configuration that existed on the DualShock 3, including the L and R buttons, the triggers, the symbols, the crosshead and the two joysticks. You also have Start and Select at the bottom of the screen, so you can pause the game at any time and continue whenever you want.

Games supported by aps3e

Although aps3e supports a large number of games, there may be many that do not work properly. In some there may be performance problems, and in others there may be visual problems that prevent the game from being enjoyed comfortably. In addition, there may also be forced shutdowns or sound problems in some games.
