    However, PS3 architecture was so elaborate and unique that it remains next to impossible to emulate to this day

    I’m no expert on the subject, but I happen to know that RPCS3 exists, and they claim ~70% of titles are playable today.

      “Playable” is doing a lot of work.

      Don’t get me wrong: I’ve played through games with it and it’s really great. But there’s a ton of glitches and games that don’t play well. In another 5 or 10 years (hopefully I’ve upgraded my hardware by then) it’ll probably be great. But today it’s reserved for enthusiasts who enjoy tinkering with settings or playing less demanding games.

        I only used it to replay Kingdom Hearts a few years ago, but I never had any issues with it. And based on this video RPCS3 released yesterday, it looks like there are plenty of games that are very playable, by any definition.
