Why are you making a PS3 emulator?

This will most likely be moved out of RPCS3 into another emulator in the future.

The article I linked states this:

"The issue specifically revolves around an ARM processor inside the PS3 that controls both the clock as well as other base-level tasks, such as putting the PS3 to sleep. It's believed to be similar to the leap year bug that affected original Zunes and rendered them inoperable on New Year's Eve only to resolve itself the following day."

It's not really needed at all to emulate, but nonetheless the article does state that the PS3 does have an ARM processor.

And this article has little to no credibility given neither its sources (Sony itself) nor what quickness I did for a Google search turns up anything related to an ARM processor in the PS3. Big Grin
