Emulator

[Runo]

Well,the PS3 has a 3.2 ghz processor.However you will need a 10x times more processor speed.If I had to say,computers require a 32 ghz processor to run the Ps3 emu(Which is kinda impossible right now)

It's not really like that, this 10x faster thing is really really relative, and don't expect to see a 32GHz CPU, that's not the path the industry is walking. The structure of the PS3 hardware facilitates multithreaded emulation, which is good cause like I said we probably will never have the required performance in a single core to do it with playable speeds. Still we would need much higher clocks than what we have today, and that with a properly optimized multithreaded JIT emulator, which will take years to code.

No, i just use the emulators and that's why i don't understand why PCSX2 gave all the work to the CPU.

The GPU have been improved a lot since a few years ago so yes, i guess it could help to don't overload the CPU with process that the GPU can handle. However, there should be a reason why emu developers don't do it; maybe it can't be used; i am not sure.

What? I'm not sure I understand what you're implying but there's just no way to throw emulation code into a GPU and hope it process it, that doesn't even make sense. The console's GPU, like every other part of the virtual hardware, is emulated by the application (in this case RPCS3) which is run by the CPU.

All the GPU can do is render the output graphics like it'd do with any other PC game, it can't emulate a chip. At best you could try to optimize a little by implementing texture decoders (like OpenMP) and other stuff that can be ran by the GPU, but don't expect a miracle. In the case of RPCS3 we would need a pretty fast card because the PS3 graphics are very up to date, but nothing we don't already have today.

You mean getting easier emulation?Maybe with time

Not unless someone invents something faster than JIT'ed HLE, which I really doubt will happen.

Do you think it will, with time, more and more difficult the emulation of video games on computers?

This is already happening. More complex hardware is more difficult to emulate, and since emulators for each hardware have to be written from scratch every time, we will soon reach a point where writing an emulator for given hardware will require so much effort nobody will think it is worth it. People seem to think what is holding emulation these last years is hardware limitation. It is the amount of work required to do it, simple like that.
