Why are you making a PS3 emulator?

[ssshadow]

But the thing is ... if powerhouses like Haswell i7s @ over 4 GHz aren't predicted to play heavy PS3 games when rpcs3 is capable, why continue if the road ahead may be a dead end and it'a known? As discussed, nearly any modern PS3 game would make an i7 cry with rpcs3 running it ... even in the future processors do not seem to have such power.

Are you guys just hoping cousin and overall speeds will get better along the way? Because you will be severely limited to any gameplay experience, evenn something like Little Big Planet would be hell to emulate on any processors of this generation thus far.

Wait until a good optimized PPU recompiler is done before making that assessment. Even a 5 ghz Haswell i7 can't run pcsx2 (!) in interpreter mode in most games. Interpreters are inherently slow, and according to AlexAltea, the rpcs3 interpreter is not only horribly slow, it's even slower than what it could be.

Eg: For me Nekotekinas SPU recompiler made that Fractal zoomer homebrew 30 (!) times faster (0,4 fps -> 12 fps) without any other performance tweaks.

A stock i7 4770k can now almost get 2 fps in Disgaea 3. If the PPU recompiler gives a boost similar to the best case for the SPU recompiler (maybe, maybe not), 2*30 = 60 fps, and you are done, it's playable.

Of course this is just pointless speculation, because I do not know, and no one else will really know either until it's done. I just want to put it out there that it's not impossible.

Edit: You are still fucked for Final Fantsy XIII, etc, though
