A little-known developer has released aPS3e, a PS3 emulator that can natively run on Android, onto the Google Play Store. Independent developers have been creating ways to emulate our favorite nostalgic hits on PS3, but offering a direct way to do it on an Android device is a major step in the emulation world.<\/p>\n<p>Before you dive in, it&rsquo;s worth noting that aPS3e suffers the same issues as other emulators, meaning it doesn&rsquo;t offer the same smooth experience as playing on your old PS3. Even the Play Store page warns that the app is &ldquo;still under active development and may not work with all your favorite games.&rdquo; Early reports from users claim that the app is prone to crashing, still has several bugs, and doesn&rsquo;t offer reliable frame-rate performance. The app is geared towards higher-end Android devices with the latest processors and recommends around 12 GB of RAM for a decent gameplay experience. The app has built-in on-screen controls, but the website claims it has support for some Bluetooth controllers.<\/p>\n<p>This latest app isn&rsquo;t the only way to emulate PS3 games on an Android device, but it&rsquo;s the first to be listed on the Play Store. There has been a lot of criticism that the developer pulled code from other PS3 emulation projects, but the project has since been made open-source on its Github page. Currently, aPS3e is available for free without ads, but there&rsquo;s a premium version for $5 that&rsquo;s meant to support the developer. The Android emulator has already landed more than 10,000 downloads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>A native PS3 emulator for Android is available on the Play Store<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&rsquo;re another step closer to getting PlayStation 3 games to run smoothly on an Android smartphone.
